Nikia and I had a great day of shopping together yesterday, but today is all work and no play. We are starting to do a little spring cleaning. Yuck! But, I know it's got to be done and how refreshing the house will be once it's finished. I've had a big list of stuff that needs to be done for every room in the house but I've just kept putting it off. Well, I can't slack off any more because now that the weather is getting nicer I don't want to be stuck inside doing house work. I need to get out and clean up the yard too but I've decided I'm not letting myself until I do the house stuff first. Which isn't easy since I'm not much of an enthusiastic Miss Suzy Homemaker.

I may cheat a little and let the kids start without me on the stuff outside. After the snow melts down it always amazes me what is left. The leaves drive me crazy because I know we bagged our yard three times last fall. Believe me, I remember, we have a huge yard. The branches and sticks I can understand with all the heavy ice and snow, but then there's the garbage bag caught in the tree and some of the stuff the dog dragged into the yard over the last few months, and some of the stuff the dog dropped in the yard - if you know what I mean.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go..... Have a great weekend everyone. I hope it's full of sunshine and family fun.
