New Year's Resolution...well, one of the many anyway

Ah, the new year.  A time to look back on the past year and reflect on all the junk that we need to organize/change in our life.  At least that's what I do...besides remember all of the fabulous stuff that happened, that is. 
I would like to think of myself as a somewhat organized person.  Just don't look too closely in my cupboards and closets.  I generally keep my house clean - enough, that is.  Actually, it drives me nuts to not have rooms, that people see at least, look presentable.  I already sort of had a loose cleaning schedule just to keep on top of things, but nothing really set in stone.  Then I happened upon this little sweetheart, and decided to adopt it as my own.
cleaning schedule.  I took this, tweaked it to make it fit my own home and needs, and laminated it so I can cross off with gusto as each task is completed!

But, there were a few things that I wanted to change to fit my own home and needs, so I sort of used it as a template to make my own cleaning schedule.  Then after printing it out, I laminated it, attached a dry erase marker to it (so as I could cross things out with great gusto once completed by myself or my slaves...I mean children), and hung it up over the light switch in my laundry room.  That way I will always see it, but not really in a place where my company will see it and know my secret to keeping an immaculate house.  That's what I envision, anyway. 
So, now that I'm all documented, I'm ready to hit the cleaning schedule and do some crossing out.  I can't wait!!  Sad that I get such joy out of cleaning, but I do love me a clean house.
