Well, I’m still writing 2008 not 2009. LOL.
On Saturday and Sun a.m., I did some crisis cleaning. I shined my sink and it looks great. And cleaned off my counter tops AND kitchen table. My kitchen looks fabulous, and my LR, DR, and BA are presentable.
Of course, some of what I end up doing is putting junk (e.g., paper/bills/misc stuff to be dealt with) into grocery bags. So now a lot of junk that was in the kitchen is in either the LR or in my study. But I did manage to get through a bunch of it (adding a new toy like a paper shredder didn’t’ hurt!). And my mom is coming on Fri so now the study has to get cleaned up. Dare I move it back into the DR?? I will hopefully continue making bits of progress despite this tendency. I’m sure if I were a housewife it would just seem like a job, but actually as I sit at my desk job, I feel I’d much rather be home doing that stuff. I’m dying to tackle, among other things, my linin closet – currently towels fall out every time I open the door. But as chaotic as it was, when I was crisis cleaning my kitchen, which included removing my Xmas tablecloth and replacing w/ a non-holiday one, I was actually able to locate that one I wanted very quickly…
Right now I’m completely stressed about work because I didn’t get any work done over the weekend (and I intended to). But if I could get my laundry put away that would be a wondrous thing I think. And then maybe something in my guest room (Xmas decorations/ornaments) – make a pile to Craigs List or FreeCycle.
Anyway, I’m going to get some work done now. Glad I stopped and bought dog food on my way in to work.
