Saw another blog that is kind of artsy/dramatic that was just numbering the lent days with all small letters, so I thought, "Well, I'm cool like that too, right?", so here it is....edgy number titles...
Thought about renumbering all previous lent days, but that would be perfectionism and I am trying not to go there.
Today...actually last night Big Girl Buffalo got that kind of glassy boiled eye look. She has whatever it is that is going around...with a fever.
This morning Big Brother Buffalo (going with that, since he would faint if he thought I was calling him "big boy..." he's way too big for that.) was kind of pouting about having to go to school (pouting...that is not a big person word...maybe "acting sullen") and when I took his temp, he too, was over the century mark. So everyone is home and everyone is worse now than they were this morning. Ahhhh motherhood.:-)
So I worked on (finished) the laundry bathroom, cleaned a couple of drawers in the kitchen, started on the storage area...and that is where the feeling of overwhelm-ness began. It is mostly a room of decorations...which is funny because lots of times there isn't time to put them up. Snowmen are still on my mantel. And big party stuff...like big 25 cup coffee pots, electric roasting pans for keeping food warm, chafing dishes, Christmas party decor...
Sooo....do I get rid of a bunch of decorations? Do I really want to "go there" at this stage of the game? If I start that kind of cleaning (picking through), I may spend the rest of my lent time there. OH...and there are all of our pre-digital photo photos...which need desperately to be put into albums...BIG boxes of that stuff...
Everywhere else I had really been getting rid of lots of stuff...in here I was at a standstill, wondering what to do, move, etc.
That may be all I get done today in the cleaning/purging/organizing area. Not what I would have hoped for....but it was OK, I think.
Mr. Buffalo and I got caught up to Mark 6 last night...so we are back on track.
One thing I am trying to remember here is that I don't have to see how this is all going to turn out. I just need to do my part every day.
Thanks for visiting...
