Filling the Cracks of Winter Time
I seem to have caught a case of the winter blues. They have crept in, making the pre-preschool-out-the-door shuffle more of an ordeal than usual. They appear at the end of the witching hour, about 4:45 PM, when I'm about to blow my top if my kids don't stop running around and hollering. It doesn't help that the sun hardly shines here in the winter. But, I'm trying to be proactive. Projects make happy. A clean house makes me happy. So, this week I've: cleaned my oven + stove....
...sewn a baby quilt out of fabric scraps for a first-time-expectant friend...
...and am getting ready for this Little Girl's 3rd birthday tomorrow. I've also thoroughly vacuummed the first floor (including underneath bookshelves and furniture), and cleaned out my fridge and freezer. What I found in numbers:
1 bear scout manual (tucked in the recesses of our couch)
5 bottles of mustard (in the fridge, including 1 dijon!)
2 bottles of ketchup
2 huge bottles chocolate syrup
lots and lots of toys and little doo-dads
Oh, and I vacummed out our heating vents in the front room and toy room. That about sums it up. For now...

Sarah--
It's good to know I'm not the only one ready to blow my top in the evening. My kids were running around and screaming all evening...I thought I was going to lose it.
Can I please please (please please) be you when I grow up. I love everything about you.
I need to clean my stove top, but I feel like I do it all the time. Cleaning=Happy here, too. I love that Lucy has a mustache in that picture, so cute:)
