January 2010

The holidays are over, the dried out Christmas tree lays haphazardly in the falling snow beside the back door, the house is cluttered with toys, the dishes are piling up, the mail is overflowing from the mailbox...

School has started again and I guess it is time to put my house back in order. They canceled school yesterday for -14 degree weather. Yikes! Today there is an early out. I wonder if I will get time to clean and declutter my house!!

I love sharing the holidays with my children and have a lot of fun with them while they are here...but they have caught cabin fever. They can't go outside, or don't want to, because it's so cold. They are tired of playing with each other because that is all they have done for the last few days! They fight, and yell and scream and start hitting and kicking. I strongly dislike wrestle time, as it causes harm to others. So, I was so hoping for school to start....and yet...I want to sleep-in some more!!

We will see what the next couple of days brings. It is supposed to be even colder. Yeesh! I wish my kids liked to read! TJ does but the others don't very much. I need to find a way to change that.

So, on to the decluttering of my home. I only have about an hour before they come home. I better get busy!!
