Tidbits

I should be better about posting, but when my house looks the way that it does, taking time for something like a blog seems a luxury I should do without. We spent much of the weekend sorting through and trying on spring/summer clothes, and replacing the winter clothes currently in the drawers. The winter clothes also have to be sorted by what might fit again next year, along with what to do with those that won't. I currently have tubs and boxes of clothing pretty much everywhere, and the house wasn't all that clean to begin with! With temps in the mid 80's over the last weekend, putting it off wasn't an option! We also needed to get screens in windows and I should start some spring cleaning...eventually. Yesterday I realized that the garbage disposal has a hole in and water shoots out if we run the disposal or dishwasher. So I've been hand washing lots of dishes (we can use the water in the sink as long as the bucket is under the disposal) but I don't seem to be able to catch up on that either. I also insisted on hanging laundry out on the line over the weekend. The drying racks were completely ineffective because of the 30 mph winds we had going through. So I had to use our rather short clothes line, and just keep checking so that I could replace a dry item with a new wet one. And with lots of the flu last week, we had plenty of laundry to be done! We are gone pretty much every evening with the kids having ball practice. Last night all three had practice, along with one having team pictures. Tonight my husband has his grad class, and two kids have team pictures. Wednesday brings my husband having a meeting, one kid at ballet, one at guitar lessons, and one at ball practice. Thursday my husband has conferences, and we have a ball practice. Friday we can relax, then Saturday is opening day, so there is a parade and three ball games. As much as I would prefer that my house be all picked up and sparkling clean, I just refuse to allow myself to stress about it!
