Daily Yuck list

From reading several other blogs about housework, I noticed a similar theme, they all had a daily to do list. Nony at A Slob Comes Clean calls them her non-negotiables. Shell at Tangled Zen has a cute to do list. So I decided I would come up with my own list. Unfortunately the things on my daily list often make me go YUCK! Either because it is a task that is truly yucky or it is something that I just don't want to do even though I have to. So here it is my daily YUCKS!

1. Clean the litter box- a truly yucky job, but if not kept up on the yuck multiplies...... quickly
2. Dishes- a chore that seems never ending and if let go can turn into some truly yucky stuff
3. Laundry- at least 1 load a day although more often than not, I have to do more. I do limit myself to only doing as many loads as I know I will wash, dry, fold, and put away to cut down on the opening the washer lid and getting a whiff of a very yucky smell.
4. Dog duty- I love my dog but he only respects my husband which makes everything I do for him a task. (Like today when he ran out of his Kennel on me and I had to chase him around the neighborhood in my socks)
5. Floors- although I enjoy my new vacuum, I don't like picking up all the stuff before I can vacuum.
6. Pool care- We have one of those vinyl pools and I have found that if you do not go in daily and maintain it it turns to Pea Soup very quickly. This weekend I had to go into the Pea Soup pool and clean the sides and floor and have vowed to make sure to keep up on this everyday so I never have to do that again.

  1. I like your idea of a Yuck list...I have a lot of the same tasks - kitty litter, dog poo, dishes and you're right - they are Yuck!!

    Good luck with your daily list.
