So, no housework got done today because in addition to an IEP meeting this morning for DD's speech, I had to run to the mall to pick up a last-minute gift for one of the nieces, and grab a small ham for Christmas or Christmas Eve dinner (not sure which yet) because DD wants ham.

I did manage to change and launder the sheets on our bed (Master Bedroom), but didn't manage to de-clutter or dust or anything else.

SO the tasks from today are still on the docket:

TUESDAY, 12/22

GOALS:

(1) Master Bedroom

• Pick up miscellany on my side of the bed
• Put away/launder clothing and fabric items on floor
• Re-organize books
• Dust flat surfaces
• Clean blinds and windows
• Launder drapes
• Purge shoes
• Vacuum

(2) Tidy 2nd Floor Hallway

• Pick up miscellany
• Vacuum

Fortunately, except for the wrapping, I should be able to do everything on tomorrow's list with DD around, so I'm not totally off track.
