Busy girl

Man, I was a busy girl this weekend!  Well, I was for me that is, I am sure there are plenty of other people out there that wouldn't bat an eyelash at the stuff I accomplished, but I don't care.  It felt good to get things done. 

My inner cleaning bug is has finally come to the surface, and I am embracing her with all of my being.  :)  I have never been a neat freak, but while I was pregnant it drove me insane (yes, it was a short trip, ha ha) to have to sit there and just look at clutter and disarray and not really be able to do anything about it.  ...this was the last month and a half while I was on bedrest.  I also watched an episode of that show Hoarders on A&E.  It's very depressing, but like a car wreck, it's hard not to watch.  But that was the time that I made up my mind that I am not live in clutter and be okay with it.  It is a new found sense of accomplishment to get a room or cabinet or drawer cleaned and organized.  It's not that up until this moment I have lived in filth and disorder, but suffice it to say that I have certainly never been accused of keeping my house like a museum.  :)

Of course, it does make it harder when the sweet, sweet man that is my husband doesn't care to do chores (he does mind you, and I am very thankful for what he does, but it generally takes some not-so subtle hints) and he is also a nester.  I am a nester too, but a different sort.  His nesting consists of a focus on about a 5-10 foot circle.  Poor sweet man, I pick on him too much, but what can I say...he picks on me too.  :) Embrace the orneriness!!  Then there are the sweet little lover dogs.  They are a mess to themselves, but that's another post by itself. 

On a happy side note - Evie chirped last night while watching her daddy be silly for her and it scared he half to death.  Kinda like, wow, did I just make that sound???
