Because I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get things in order for Passover. Of course I probably don't have time to blog, but just needed a quick break, and don't want rumors of the alien abductions to start up again. For the sake of my dear friends who have asked questions:
Betty I'm cleaning all the leaven out of my home (especially my kitchen) in preparation for Passover and the feast of Unleaven Bread. Think Spring Cleaning as cleaning for Passover is where that all started. It means removing everything that has yeast (in anyform) and leaven (baking powder, cream of tartar, etc), everything that might have had yeast, foods that have the potential to attract natural yeast and rise (flours), and any leftovers from all these foods. What does that mean -- cleaning out every cupboard, drawer, pantry, fridge & freezer. Throwing out all the breads, crackers, cookies, pizzas, etc. Washing down everything, etc. Also vacuuming (under cushions of couches, behind the fridge, under the stove, etc.) That's the basics. When I have more time, I'll get more into the teaching. Right now, I have to finish.
Karen We belong to a very large homeschool co-op that meets once a week. I had to sub for teacher in a class called Fairy Tales and Folk Tales. Just picture ten 6 year olds, one story, and a lot of scissors and glue. Not my strength, but it didn't kill me. I have to do it again next week. I love helping the teacher, but I definately prefer High Schoolers.
Nancy If you happen to pass a Starbucks anywhere near the vicinity of my house -- I need a Menopausal Mocha (venti please) --- that's three shots of espresso to keep me moving and hormones fluctuating, but everything else has to be fat-free, sugar-free, and soy-based, no whipped cream either. I'll re-imburse you when you get here.
Okay, there's a spice cupboard and three junk drawers with my name on them waiting in the kitchen. I have to disconnect 17yo Chrysanthemum from her ipod and we're back to cleaning. I'll try to take pics and catch up with you all real soon.
