My Busy (Home-keeping) Day

About once a month I like to do a deep cleaning of my home.  I tell hubby to go play poker at the casino so I can have the house to myself and set to work.  My "to do" list includes:

• Wash the bedding (everything including the mattress pad, sheets, and blanket.  I wash the comforter every six months or so).
• Scrub toilets, bath tubs, and sinks.
• Taking out all the trash. 
• Clean out my closet (and got rid of things I don't wear).
• Wash dishes and clean all counters.
• Clean out the refrigerator.
• Clean and organize the pantry.
• Restocked and organized the bathroom cabinets.
• Vacuum and mop all of the floors.
• Changed the furnace filters.
• Weeded the yard.
• Organized and backed up my computer files.
• Reorganized some of the kitchen cabinets.
• Got a load of things ready to donate to the Goodwill.

Whew!  Now I'm going to have some green tea ice cream and relax!
