Recently....
So I've been busy recently. I didn't mean for it to be so long since I wrote last! At the last minute we got the 2 older kids ready to go on a trip to visit their grandparents in Oregon. Grandma flew down to pick up the children and flew back up with them Monday one week ago. Then hubby left early last Thursday morning for a conference in France so I had to do a lot of laundry and stuff to help him get ready.
Then I had a Pampered Chef show on Saturday. After that there was no major event until another Pampered Chef show I'll be doing this Saturday...so I've had a break to do more things. Monday a friend watched Anna while I went for a bike ride - turned out to be over 16 miles and almost 2 hours long! I got a little burnt! I also ran a bunch of errands. It's SO nice to do shopping at stores and not have to get kids in and out of the carseat!
Today I really got down to business in the house. I got Anna's room almost completely squared away. Everything is off the floor that doesn't need to be there. Her toys are reorganized, clothes all washed and sorted through (things that don't fit will be sold in a consignment sale in a few weeks), her closet is fixed too. The only thing left to do is clean off the top of her dresser. I will do that tomorrow.
Then I moved to our bedroom - last weekend I pulled everything out of the back of the closet I'd been shoving in there to ignore. There was a lot of stuff back there! Some clothes I didn't know where it was, lots of papers - scrapbooks stuff, some mail, some junk - books, movies, etc. I am working my way through that stuff. I hope to finish that tomorrow.
I need to find the time to work on the 2 big kids rooms (it is such a mess and since the kids are gone I need to use this opportunity to make their room look better. I did some on the living room last week. The kitchen and the craft room need a lot of work but I will get to that after I've worked some on the more important areas. Then I've got to try real hard to keep it up!
The bathroom I did so well on 1 month ago is still clean and not cluttered, so maybe I'll be able to keep it up. We'll see.
Anyways, I should try to go to bed soon. Going to get up earlier tomorrow to do some cleaning before Anna wakes up. Hope all is well with y'all!!!

Posted by bbullard I love your post about exercising--this is great, and it is inspiring since I've done nothing in about two weeks.
I never heard back from you on sending you a gift. I can appreciate that you might be a little nervous sending a relative stranger a mailing address. In any case, just know that I appreciate your visits to my blog and I am so happy that our paths have crossed. God bless you, Marie.
