Everyone is doing so well!!! Congratulations!!! And to those of you who haven't started yet, forgive yourself. It is really freeing. SMILE. I am actually wanting to clean and organize again. Must mean spring is coming. Grin.
We had 5 wonderful days with married daughter and family last week, returning home on Sunday. Grandbabies are wonderful fun. 2 year old gs wanted to show "Papa" the baby elephants, so got to spend most of the day at the zoo on Thursday. We started at the elephants and ended at the elephants. He is so funny. Melted Gramma's heart when I handed him a small book and small box of conversation hearts on Sunday as an early Valentine's Day present. He spontaneously said, "Thank you, Gramma!!" He has my vote for any office he wants to run for. LOL. Got to go clothes shopping for my transistion clothes. Was able to purchase for $125 a fleece jacket, and shirt, black pants, jeans and denim skirt, and 4 blouses. GRIN. And a duffle bag with free back pack for $10!!! I have wanted a simple backpack so we can carry a lunch when we walk in the woods. Even found a few used books: 2 for me, one for youngest daughter, and one for grandkids. And my splurge was a beautiful blue and white heart shaped bowl I have on my dining room table with blue candles. Looks so nice. Think that is helping me want to make progress around here. We also got $125 worth of groceries at Costco. SMILE. Got my new clothes all washed and put away, and food put away Sunday night. Puttered and got things in better shape around here, too. Daughter who had moved in with us had said that I had her permission to publicly flog her if she didn't get the dining room decluttered with her stuff that had been there since she moved in over a month ago!!!!! We surprised her by coming home at 1 pm. She had done a little bit. I let her know how disappointed I was by telling her just that, in a calm cool voice (a major step in the right direction for me). And she had a reprieve because her dad and I were going to take a nap and so she could do it now. She said but she didn't want to disturb our nap. I let her know it was perfectly fine. She got the hint, and when we got up a half hour later it was transformed!!!!!!!!!! Man that feels good. Had to work Monday and Tuesday and will again Thursday and Friday. So planned to get dishes caught up and tv room reclaimed. Got dishes almost done. Living room vacuumed and picked up. Started down the stairs to vacuum as I went, and vacuum decided to go on the fritz!!!!!! GRRRRRR. Have the tv room almost done. We have an insurance guy coming and I know he will want to see the wood stove down here. Daughter did a valiant attempt to reclaim it for me yesterday. So not to bad of a job today. Just want to vacuum soooo bad. Going to go back out and finish with the cleaning minus the vacuuming. May call my sil and ask to borrow her old one for awhile. Have been calling the vacuum repair shop all morning and no answer, so don't know what to thing about that. Just got through to him. Will run $50!!!!! UGH! It has been cranky for awhile, just hate to have to do it right now. Well, hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and wise. Take care all.
