Zoe’s Journal

The LotR and I haven’t really cleaned our house in at least a month. This morning, I woke to clothes over the hamper, clothes on the floor, clothes on the dresser, clothes all over the shelves in the closet, clothes in suitcase, dirty dishes piled up in the kitchen, stacks of mail about to fall over, inability to see my desk surface, piles of bags and shoes in the entryway, dirty disgusting bathrooms, empty refrigerator, cat hair strewn all along the shower floor, etc… you name it, I’ll bet it needs cleaned.

First thing in the morning, we threw in the first load of laundry and cleaned the kitchen. I rearranged a couple of kitchen cabinets to make space for some new Pyrex dishes. Then we went to Target, where I bought a couple of new candles to burn and make the place smell fresher and some storage bins for summer clothes and halloween costumes so that we can store them in the outbuilding. Then we went to the grocery store and spent over $200 on food (told you, the fridge was empty!).

When we got back, the LotR took a nap while I put put the food away, baked banana bread, and cleaned the kitchen again. Then I sat down to print out my lessons for the two new classes I’m taking this fall. And I just finished going through my clothes and putting away the summer ones, separating and packing the Halloween costumes and packing them away…

Still to do? My desk, for one, since I’m looking at it. More laundry, cleaning of bathrooms and showers, going through the mail (it’s all the LotR’s), cooking dinner, cleaning bedroom, dusting shelves and vacuuming/swiffering the floors. And emptying the dishwasher. And stapling all my lessons together. Oh, and picking up the living room and taking out the trash.

Yay.
