Soo, today marks the week that is spring break here. The kids are all off school this week, then Jordan is the only one to go back. For the mean time though, we are in full force Spring Cleaning mode. I dropped off 6 big boxes of stuff today at the Salvation Army ... we cleaned out the house over the weekend, and yesterday went and bought a new microwave to hang over the stove since our old one just croaked. I love throwing away old junk too, so the garbage is full this week as well. For some odd reason it feels good to "unload" all this stuff !! Wonder why that is ?!
Anywhoooodle, I have my homeschool meeting this evening, but tommorrow I will be spending the day scrubbing the floors and disenfecting the house. As soon as I get a nice, warm day, I hope to open the windows and shampoo all the carpets REALLLLLLLLY well. The cat has had a few accidents while sick and that is just NASTY ... And of course it doesn't help that we were all sick too, so the house is just filled of FUNK. ..... Or atleast that it the way it seems to me, anyway.
I did elect Adam to dig out all of the old caulk around our shower though. Lately when I shower, looking at the caulk .. IS JUST S.C.A.R.Y. - - - - - - The shower seems to be growing hair or fuzzies of mold and it is soooo sick and discusting. It must be re- done. The white caulk even when scrubbed with bleach, is still grey ... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww !
Hmmm, after that I think I will clean out the cars. Not that they are gross, I am a clean person, but my kids aren't as clean as I am. :O) I think the Cherrios exploded ... Hhmmmmmmmmmmm, and washing the windows appearantly needs to be on the list too.
Speaking of the cars, when we went to drop those boxes off earlier, Gracie fell asleep by the time we got back to the house, Now am I the only one who will drive around for an hour hoping thier child will stay asleep or contemplate leaving them in the van ??? I did drive around for a bit, but ultimately went home and she got woken up. Sometimes the quiet from her is so nice ! :O) She can be quite the little terrorizer !
Ahhh, next week we start our schooling here and what I call "de-programming" ... that should be fun ! Hopefully the text books / Lifepac we ordered from Alpha Omega will arrive, that would be so nice !
Well, it is almost 5 pm, so I am off to tiddy up a little, plan Adam's birthday dinner out and then get ready for my meeting. Hope ya'll have a great evening !
TAMMIE
It may take a while to deprogram, but you'll get there. We use Lifepac too for some of our coursework. I love the self-study pace they provide.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your meeting tonight! I am sure you will. It can also be a bit overwhelming, but you'll do fine sorting it all out. It takes a while to get your school running smoothly, but once the routine is there...it is wonderful!
Hope you have a good time at the meeting. I hate spring cleaning. Might be easier if we just move. lol Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteI need to clean out some stuff too. I just with I wasn't so distracted by all the other stuff going on! LOL
ReplyDeleteGah, Spring cleaning...not looking forward to it!!! But I do gotta rid my house of some clutter!!!
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing some Spring Cleaning the last few days also. Cleaned out both storage sheds..condensed down alot of stuff and threw out alot (from the move). You're right!...it feels good to get some of this stuff cleaned out. More room! And our garbage is full too. Both cans..plus boxes, etc., etc...the curb is full. At least Garbage Pick-up is today. Well good luck with the "de-programming"!..Hehe!..I'm sure you'll do fine. Have a good day girl! And Happy Cleaning!..lol (P.S. Did u get to see the Race??...Whoohooooooo!!!)
ReplyDeleteFunny about the driving Gracie around in the car. When David was a baby we would take him for rides to get him to go to sleep & then of course the minute we got back he would wake up. GAH!!! lol
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your meeting & good luck with the home schooling.
Spring cleaning is in the air although mine is more from moving but I'm in a throw stuff out mood too.
Oh I haven't started my spring cleaning but should!! I have been taking advantage of Ally not having to work this week and not having to go any where so sleeping in a little bit! Which doesn't happen often. Sounds like you have a lot planned to do too! Cleaning, cleaning cleaning! I hope your week has been good so far! Where did it go anyway?? Hugs
