Slow blogging from me ahead, until my wits return or my household gets brought to order, whichever comes first.
\nI am order-challenged, mostly because I am a little too fond of procrastination. I have been trying to get organized and stay that way<\/b>. So far, the front hall, living room, and family room are all conquered territory, though the price of victory is eternal vigilance. My husband laughs at me for relentlessly working to keep the toys picked up in the family room, but I figure it’s easier to clean up little messes than big ones, and easier to identify and find missing parts right away — like that stupid triangle striker<\/b>, for example. I ended up begging First Act<\/a> for a replacement, which they very kindly sent at no charge. It arrived on Wednesday, and on Saturday morning I discovered it was missing again<\/i>! It was really disgraceful how frustrated I got over this. I am happy to report I found it that afternoon (under a bed) and immediately attached it to the triangle using ribbon and clear nail polish. Enough is enough.
\nThe kitchen is largely under control except for this one little corner that is rapidly accumulating clutter (books, coupons, and clippings.)
\nNext project: getting Hambet’s outgrown toys and clothes packed away.
\nThis whole project has gained some urgency — this week I found out my mom is coming to visit next month! So of course I want to have the place in tip-top shape, even though I know she’s going to be leaving her white gloves at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
