~New Year Resolutions: Week One~

    Well, week one of 2012 is almost over and I have completed one, of however many weeks there are in a year, of my new year resolutions.  Mission Organization.  Actually it's just one step in the process, but a HUGE one and a very important one to me. 
    I showed you my family binder here and it has not left my side this entire week.  I spent a day last weekend, filling in some of the freebie forms that I had printed out, including the daily to do's.  I only put chores on the days and then I have a daily to do that I fill out every evening with places I need to go, things I need to get, what's for supper and what I need to do for the following day.  It's a great form where I can gather all of my information into one place and I actually leave my binder open on the table all day long so I can check things off my list.  I love making those check marks.
 
So my cleaning schedule that I have created consists of this:

Monday:  Clean hardwood floors

                 Clean master bath

                 Vacuum upstairs

Tuesday:  Dust upstairs

                 Clean kids bath

                 Vacuum Main level

Wednesday:  Clean half bath

                      Dust Main level

                      Vacuum downstairs

Thursday:  Dust downstairs

                  Clean downstairs bath

                  Wash bedding

                          Week 1 and 3- master and E's

                          Week 2 and 4- boys

Friday:  Grocery shopping (yes, that is considered a chore in my world)

              Wash windows

                           Week 1- upstairs

                           Week 2 - main level

                           Week 3- downstairs

                            Week 4- off

Saturday and Sunday have been left open to have fun with the family or do other projects that don't need to be done weekly.  I also do laundry and dishes every day.  OH... and sweep my hardwood floors.  I hate crumbs.

I just finished my chores for today,  my daily to do has everything checked off and I am ready to relax and enjoy an "at home date night" with my husband. 
This is just a beginning draft of my chores.  I know that there is a possibility that I will have to add something, move something, take a day off... and I am OK with that.  Having a guide will hopefully keep me motivated and help me not to forget things.  There were a couple of times today that I thought I could just skip something.  The basement bath wasn't bad, the windows could wait for another time, but I kept going and pushing myself and the reward of a clean house (it was clean until the kids came home from school;)  is well worth the work and effort.

So.... I'm curious.  Do you have a cleaning schedule?  How long have you had it and have you kept up with it?  Am I missing something on my list?  I would love to hear your responses!!!
