Is it time for me to start commenting on how fast the month is going by? It's really freaking me out a bit. More than a bit, honestly. I have a list of projects I wanted to get done during the winter because as soon as the nice weather hits, I only want to be out in the yard, talking to my plants and all of the critters. I hope that Tif is doing ok. (Tif is a big toad that hangs out on my patio. I named them Tif which is short for Toad Friend.)
As for the projects, like cleaning out the linen closet- hmmm, yeah, I haven't touched it.
I love the new steam cleaner, it's nice and light and doesn't leave the carpets soaking wet. I vacuumed really well and dusted the BR first. I was amazed at how much dog hair it lifted out even after the careful vacuuming. My BR carpet is from when we first moved in, 27 years ago at the end of the month. It's pretty ragged but looks so much better today than it did before.
Not much going on today- although I just wrote on my To-Do list to clean out the linen closet. I have to strip my bed today so it's a good day to do that. I usually strip the bed, wash, dry, and remake the bed all on the same day, thus ignoring the need to dig through the closet for new sheets.
Cait is going to look at another house after dinner tonight. I'm a little concerned that she is stressing herself out more than she needs to at this point. (Wonder where she gets that from? ) We had a long talk about finances and how I was not a good role model when it comes to being emotionally reactive to financial difficulty. Hoo boy, I was very reactive when the kids were small- and middle- and now LOL They heard me say a million times, "if it is not on sale, or I don't have coupons, I am not getting it." Or how they would ask for money to go somewhere with their friends and I would either yell or cry. Both, usually I am seeing her react the same way when she talks about paying for the wedding and thinking about buying a house. I don't; know how to help her with that. It never gets easier as a mom, does it? SMH.
Other than working on the linen closet, I don't have much happening here, I have a LO to upload and one to finish. I have to finalize the shopping order, but first I have to figure out WTH I am going to cook for dinners. You all know how much I ***LOVE*** that.
Have a fab time! Hope that there is some of this in your day:
