Dishevelment

I am just ridiculously excited that I accomplished two things today
that I have been meaning to do for
… “like years“.
I created master chore lists for both
Bathroom Cleaning
and
Kitchen Cleaning.
Really, Nettie, I said to myself, this isn’t that difficult.
The procrastination finally got to an embarrassing point,
and I sat down and finished them both in a flash.
Printed out,
and in a plastic sleeve,
they are a breeze to use, either in a binder,
or hang on the side of the fridge:

Oh the happiness and joy that awaits my little cleaning angels!! 😀
Without a doubt, the happiness is mine.
I thrive on lists…
why I avoided making these I can’t begin to say,
but — moving right along, it’s a new day.

Now, the next step will be to make a list just for shelves…

Oh!
— time out —
whoever can guess what this sign on our freezer says
wins a free hat.
(Anyone who lives in this house is ineligible for this prize.)
(Jeff you are also ineligible for this prize.)

Ok,
— time in —

And finally, there really only needs to be a short list for
this perennial mess:

PUT.
THEM.
AWAY!!!

I do not think I will go around the office and take a photo of every desk, although… I could.  Suffice it to say, each desk needs a list.
Dining Room, Pantry, Living Room, Laundry Room, each Bedroom…
…. ………………..
I shall not be discouraged at the thought,
but shall soldier on in the long and grand tradition of womanly virtue in which I stand as a mother,
toward the freedom from clutter that I
know
have faith
is our destiny.

UPDATE:

We have a prize winner.
I have been contacted via email by an interested party
by the initials of CSM.
He has correctly identified the Elvish word
in the above sign on our freezer
as reading:

“Lembas.”

Lembas is what my family calls my bread,
and that freezer is where we keep
both baked and ready to bake
bread.
