Which I've had a lot of lately! Laundry is still behind but gradually getting done. I've been baking pies and bread, making soap, sewing, and celebrating the girl's birthdays (including YD's BFF who is our third daughter. She lives across the street and comes to our house both before and after school. Their birthdays are 6 days apart). I've made two batches of apple butter, one of which got canned today. The house has slowly been emptying of unwanted and unneeded stuff which went either to the trash or to the church rummage sale. And all of this is on top of the fact that The Husband has been sick yet again so I've been carting the kids everywhere by myself. We even went to an afterschool "Health and Wellness Fair" at the Middle School in between shopping and choir practice last week. If I can figure out how to get the pictures out of The Boy's new camera (Kodak 2MP - $10 at the Salvation Army store - and it works!) I'll post the photo of him posing with Larry Holmes who was there signing autographs.
The current big project is the bedroom. I love having a huge bedroom but the walls have been closing in as the crap has accumulated. I gathered a black trash bag full of trash and have been organizing my gigantic pile of magazines (yes, I do regularly look back through them) which was interspersed with books and papers and was scattered about the room. It is now contained on a shelf and in a basket until I can get (make) magazine holders for them. There's barely a dent in the room as a whole but progress is being made ("baby steps...baby steps...")
Break's over - back to the pile

How is the bedroom coming along? We did that one weekend. It was no fun...now to just keep the crap out....Remember when you were little (maybe you never did this, and "little" might have been middle school) and you had to have your room cleaned before you could play and a friend would say "I will go help you clean your room and then you can help me clean mine" and then you had to beg and beg Mom to allow it and for some reason it actually got done in amazing record setting time, and it looked good, only because your friend inspired you to do it right the first time? Want to come help me clean my room and then I will help you clean yours??????
