Cleaning...and other things

How much have I accomplished? Welll...not enough.

I got up pretty early today. I worked on picking up a bit in the living room, but we were lacking in some essentials, so I made a list of things we needed to purchase. Hubby did not appreciate his early wake up call today, either.

We went out for breakfast and then hit the stores. I got all of my cleaning supplies. We purchased Christmas presents for my dad and my nephews. We bought food for our dinner. Then we went to lunch and came home.

My first order of business was to get all of the clothes folded that we had taken to the laundromat to get clean and dried. Hubby wants to do the bookshelves in the dining room first, and the laundry baskets were on the floor in the way. That done, Lusie's son came over to take our Christmas decorations down out of the attic and take down any boxes or things that can be discarded. He helped take some things to the dumpster and was on his way. I cleaned out all of my stuff off of one of the bookshelves and made three piles. One pile into the trash, one pile to take to school and another pile of ...oh geez, I want to keep this. I need to work on making that last pile smaller.

Included in the last pile are things like, my son's medical records from when he was younger, my daughter's pictures she drew while I was in Europe that my mom helped her with. My passport and the birth certificates. A poem with my son's handprints as a baby. My sketchbooks.

OK, some of it is important, and other things I just need to scan into the computer and then discard.

We ate dinner....Alaskan King Crab legs and marinated rib-eye steaks (oh, yeah...there are some perks to being kid-free). Now I'm going to work on some lesson plans and then get up super early tomorrow to begin again. There really aren't enough hours in the day and I'm playing hooky for a little while tomorrow to get my nails done with Lus.

Have a great evening!!!
