Operation Christmas dismantle

I am finally getting around to taking down the Christmas decorations.  Andrew always prefers I wait until the 6th anyway, so he was happy they were up all weekend.  I don't mind that they've been up either, but I'm ready to get the house back to "normal".

Normal?  I am not sure that I even have a clue what that might be anymore!  As I knew would happen, I am having a difficult time putting the house "back together" because frankly, it had only been "together" for about two weeks (two difficult weeks!) before we decorated for Christmas.  I am taking things out of the tubs to put them back and thinking to myself, "Hm, I wonder where I had this?"  The good news is that I have no deadline and it will be finished when it is finished.

Not helping either is the temperature.  Currently weather.com says that we are at -5 degrees with a windchill of -29.  Pretty darn cold out there.  This wouldn't be an issue, except the tubs where we store our Christmas decorations are in the DETACHED garage.  I had to laugh at my husband this morning, who reminded me that if I did feel the need to go in and out to that garage that I should put a coat on.  That man definitely knows who he married...not a big fan of wearing coats!
