Just for today (I hope)

I've got lots on my plate today. Oh yeah, I started a new medicine for my Diabetes (recently diagnosed and it sucks!) this week, so I have not been feeling great. Not that I feel any better today, but things have to be done around here! It's all piling up and I think that I've lost a kid or two in the mess. Yikes!
Here goes with my Thursday Thirteen:
1. Do our laundry (2 loads of darks, 2 loads of colors, and one load of whites).
2. Put chicken in the crockpot for dinner.
3. Get showered.
4. And dressed in something other than jammies.
5. Read from Harry Potter to Meghan and Rachel (it's a new thing I am starting-it might be put off until tomorrow).
6. Watch Mansfield Park that I recorded from Sunday when it was on PBS.
7. Maybe get a nap when Sidney and Jonathan go down for theirs...if I can get the bigger kids to cooperate too, that is.
8. Vacuum the living room so that Sidney can't find anything to put into her mouth from off the floor.
9. Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
10. Read everyone's blog. Don't feel bad if I don't comment on yours- it's likely that I won't get to it.
11. Color with Jonathan and Jenny.
12. Snuggle with Sidney.
13. Watch LOST!!!!!

What's in your cleaning bucket?

I cleaned a bathroom today. Yah, I know. WOOHOO! Go me! Whatever. I still have 2 more to go, plus laundry, plus vacuuming (which Mike and the kids will probably do if I wait long enough), plus sweep and mop the kitchen, etc etc etc.

You get my point.

Cleaning the bathroom, however, got me thinking. ( Scary, right? :D )
....And I thought about the products I was using to clean and it occured to me that a few of them I can NOT live without. It just is not the same without them. That is why I stock up on them and try, try, try not to run out of them.

Problem is I couldn't think of thirteen household products that I can't live without. And it's Thursday Thirteen folks! I can't just have a couple! So I have three. That's right, three. And your job is to leave a comment with the household thingies that you can't live without and together I am sure we will come up with 13. Go us! Hee hee

Without further ado:
1. Magic Eraser. I DON'T care that there is this email going around with pictures of a little boys face and hands that were "burned" by the chemicals in the eraser. I have used these things for years with not problems and I scrub like crazy, as do my kids. AND.... these suckers get ANYTHING off of ANYTHING! BUt hey, they are magic right?

2. Kirkland ('cuz I shop at Costco) cleaning wipes. LOVE these things. I use them to wipe down any surface and just like that...it is clean! Hooray!

3. Windex. What better invention is there than this? Oh don't spoil my fun by telling me that there is a better one. Just let me think that windex is the shiznizzle of cleaning products and let me be happy. And to clarify, I am not talking about Western Family brand glass cleaner. OH NO! Only brand name WINDEX for me.

So, there are my three. What are yours? Let me know!!!!
