Housework
I have a lot of housework to finish up. However, let’s face it: I have a lot of housework to even begin, nevermind the finish part.
Christmas is rapidly approaching. Have you noticed? Anyhow, to decorate, I’ve done barely more than get all the boxes out of the attic. Sure, both girls have their trees up in their rooms and decorated. Although, Alex’s isn’t lighting anymore which means removing all the trimmings and putting on new lights. Eventually. Oh, I have the lights. That isn’t the problem.
We haven’t gone and gotten our tree yet. That would be tomorrow. I really hope we get somewhat cooperative weather as it is the ONLY day we can go do it. I have at least cleared out the space in the middle room where the tree goes.
On Wednesday, I finally added a hanging sleeve to the Santa is Coming! Advent quilt that I made last year (and finished it the day after Christmas). Yesterday, I went and got the dowel rod to put through the hanging sleeve and hung it above my desk. I decided I really like it there. It fits the space really well, being just the right size. I guess that means I’ll have to make more for different months or seasons or something.
Today is all about the cleaning and organizing just so that I can decorate.
Tomorrow is about getting the tree (and hoping it isn’t wet)….yes, we go walking around a tree farm with a hand saw in hand…at least we get a hay ride out of it. Oh! and a photo op with Santa, if we want! We did this last year and had the best time and had the best real tree we’ve ever EVER had. Ever!
Sunday, Ray’s folks are coming over to visit (and it’s Ray’s birthday) AND Phoebe has been invited to her first ever “invited by a friend” birthday party. She will be going, it IS her first and she is SO excited.
Right now, I need to get cleaning….

Busy, busy Mom.
I have the same problem. I have Christmas stuff all over the house, half open boxes, stuff half put up, basically a mess EVERY WHERE.
So, instead of dealing with it I’m ahhhh, surfing the net.
Blush.
Ahh, I hate cleaning too. Such a chore, especially with a toddler around! Less than half an hour after vacuuming and mopping, a trail of cookie crumbs will litter the floor again. Tell me, why should I clean?? ;)
