Doing okay today.

I haven't cleaned out the refrigerator because the shower was tempting me to be scrubbed SO, one of the upstairs bathrooms is completely scrubbed down. I have also stripped a bed and read 4 books to Gracie.

Does anyone notice that I'm avoiding my homeschool room??

~dinner? had a thought

So, I see that I need to scrub the kick boards (is that what it is called?) that line the bottom of my cabinets leading to the floor. I am not in the mood. How much should I pay a kid to do this job?

I have typed mush for much several times today. Maybe I should be racing dogs...

Lisa, I think you are avoiding your schoolroom.

Hooray, Heather!

I just got done entering tags for 14 more items--I think that puts me up to 90 total and there's still a bunch to do! Lisa, I am getting stuff ready for the big consignment sale they have here. I am going to be putting in fall and winter stuff from baby-5 yo for boys and then girl stuff from last year, plus things like our swing, exersaucer, etc. There are several communities that have sales, so I am getting the stuff ready for the biggest one and then I will pick up what does not sell, re-tag it, and put it in a smaller one. Anything left after that I will donate. Last time I just put some stuff in the smaller sale and I made $152, which wasn't too bad considering the sale was small, short, and there was a snowstorm!

Me, too, Lisa. Actually, I am sitting in it right now, but I am under a big pile of clothes and I'm escaping to the kitchen next!

I am too by going to get my glasses!!

Then I'll get back to the grindstone.

While I'm out, I'm going to get some stuff out of the house to consignment in my NEW glasses.

They are going to look AMAZING with my denim skort and home made tie dye shirt with the offset spiral (the kind that avoids the start right in the front ahem where you don't want a bullseye!).

~about 20 feet, but it requires moving an area rug, a bench, the recycle bins and a trash can. I *could* throw in the baseboards along the other wall...

Is it a $10 job? If done well?
