Anybody up for the cleaning game?

Because I'm not but I need to be.  My OB says my daughter will likely be born before Friday and my house is a disaster!  My throat hurts, my head feels like it's floating, but my 2 year old is sleeping and I've just got to get this done!

Here's my list...

kitchen (almost done already):

   sink

   floors

   unload dishwasher

   wash a few dishes by hand

   eat lunch (I HATE eating and if I don't put it on here I won't do it)

living room:

   dust

   floors

   fold laundry

   put away clothes

   general pickup

   take stuff out to sheds

playroom:

   general pickup

   floor

bathroom:

   laundry

   tub/shower

   sink

   toilet

   floors

kid's bedroom:

   general pickup

   floors

   wash bedding

   put away some winter clothes (it's been 70 all week and I'm out of space in DS' drawers!)

my bedroom:

   general pickup

   floors

   dust

   wash bedding

whole house:

   trash


Feel free to add your lists and/or pictures.  Clean for 30 minutes and then come back and tell us what you have accomplished!

I wish I could get off this couch and clean, but I was up all night throwing up so my butt isn't moving. I am debating eating ramen noodles right now, but I am pretty scared to do that.

Start whenever and just report back when you're done :)  I just finished my first round.  At lunch, cleaned the tub/shower and sink/mirror in the bathroom.

 Well I'm sick with a bad respiratory thingie, but my DH has been cleaning, does that count?  LOL I wish I could clean.  I feel like it just doesn't get done right if I don't do it myself.

I'm the same way as well.  I won't even clean without kicking hubby outside because he accuses me of going overboard and being too frantic.  His version of cleaning is shoving everything into whatever holes they fit into so I'll find dirty laundry shoved between furniture and walls!
