I started doing some freezer cooking! I've even started another (yes, another) blog to track progress and stuff. I've only done two days of it so far, and in those two days I accomplished about 1/10 of what others accomplish in a day (and I know this from the blogs I've been reading. And the women who accomplish these also have like six kids so I have no excuse.)
Still, it's a matter of learning to be more efficient. Also, I'm really taking time to find stuff we really like, not just "so-so" meals. So a lot of this blog will be perfecting these freezer recipes, finding exactly what works and what doesn't. My cousin (R) and I are doing it together, kind of (she works full time, plus is a single mom, so can't always get over here.) But we did about three hours of shopping last Saturday, and then I cooked all Saturday and Sunday.
Today the house looks so much better, I spent the last two hours cleaning:
-Kitchen is totally clean, including all the non-perishable ingredients I'd set on the counter in anticipation of using them, but never got to those recipes.
-Laundry is DONE
-Dishes are DONE
-House is mostly tidy, still have to work on that one
-My second-least-favorite chore (cat litter) is DONE
-All trash bins in the house are empty
I've had a headache the last few days so I'm not going as gung ho as I'd like to...it's so nice to have the luxury of sitting for a bit, then doing something productive. It's hot and I'm uncomfortable. I need to vacuum. But actually the bathrooms need to be done more than vacuuming. I hate doing bathrooms because the cleaning spray upsets my allergies so much!
Really, I hate all chores for different reasons. I'm starting not to mind the kitchen so much though!
Today's plan:
1. Finish tidying upstairs & down (10 minutes)
2. Go out to dinner with Pamela (from my old work)
3. Clean at least the downstairs bathroom
4. Wash the blankets
5. Watch Heroes
Wow that's a lot for having a headache! Way to go on the freezer cooking, I've always thought about it but have never done it...plus we do not have a big enough freezer! Cool that you can do it with someone you, i think that would make it much more fun. Have you tried just using vinegar and water to clean your bathroom? That's what I use and it does as good as a job as any chemical and much greener/cheaper. Just thought it might help with your allergies :). You do have to get used to the smell, but it goes away when it dries.
