I really haven't disappeared. We had a busy weekend and today was a snow day so I took advantage of knocking off some of the items on my to do list. I've got a way to go before I can breathe easy.
About that snow day... Even at the hint of snow or ice, Northwest Arkansas shuts down. Granted we have lots of hills and since we don't get a lot of wicked weather we don't have the city crews to get everything ready. Steven still made it to his orthodontist appointment. At least he didn't have to miss any school for it! Who knows what the weather will bring overnight. We may get another snow day tomorrow. Hope not!
So I realized when I was half way through some of my cleaning, that I may be cleaning up inside the house, but I'm transferring a lot of it to the garage. Irony of that is I don't clean the garage. I'm just passing the buck, or junk. Better than having stuff sit in my dining room or the hall. I thought Steven was going to have a fit when I asked him to move some of the stuff. It was a snow day! Kids don't do anything resembling work on a snow day! What was I thinking?
Ever notice that there is always at least one item you forget to put away with the Christmas decorations? I've been walking by a Silent Night plaque for over a week without realizing that it was a Christmas decoration! In years past I've left out stockings, Christmas tins, or anything I put in an unusual location. Sigh!
So I hope to make great strides into getting my house in order by the end of next week. Then I can move on to the things that aren't necessities! It seems that sometimes all we accomplish is the maintenance and rarely get to the deep cleaning out.
