I still have time???? 3700 of 4800

When it is all said and done I will have to say and do it all over again... hmm. That is the truth about housework.



So I sit here with 13 hours to go on my project, but I realize now that my schedule was off. I don't really have 13 hours left, I have zero. With church in the a.m. and an all church lunch after that, I don't have time to get anymore cleaning done.

I would be depressed except I got so much accomplished that I am thrilled! I still have the two kids' rooms left and the hall cabinets, but I will get them done in the next few days. I got a great jump start on my Spring Cleaning, and since today is the official first day of Spring I am just on time.

The biggest surprise was that it snowed all day today. So we got a fire going in the fireplace, the kids had hot chocolate, and I made coffee and added hot chocolate to it for myself. The bundled brood were in and out of the house all day, playing in the last cold weather of the season with heavy coats and the mittens that Gramps made for them before he died. Over all it was a good day. And I am five, no six, maybe even seven steps closer to "Better Homes and Gardens" than I was 37 hours ago.

So as I sit here with my feet up next to the roaring fire I am amazed at myself. Not because I got the monumental done, but that I was willing to stop doing the monumental and actually live and love and laugh, and feed the kids from time to time, while I was doing it. That is a huge step for me.
