Yucky!

One of the things I was looking forward to after my return from Lebanon was the chance to dive into all the clutter and mess in my house. Moving back from overseas meant there was lots to do as we merged stuff brought back with us with the stuff already here. Add to that 2 extra kids and lots of fun activities and you just don't have much time to get it all done. Beyond keeping things around generally clean and healthy for us, not much cleaning up was going on.

Now I'm back and ready to dig in. Only one problem. I've picked up some kind of bug and feel yucky. Argh! NOT what I needed. I'm alone today. No one to entertain or get in the way. I can just work to my little heart's delight. I felt worse yesterday. I'm feeling a bit better today and did get laundry done and clean out the dog's pen. That alone could make a person sick. I'm not feeling as dizzy or queasy so maybe I can still salvage part of the day and tackle one of the smaller jobs waiting for me.

Maybe after I fold my laundry and I'm waiting for something to simmer on the stove for the kids I can read some of my housekeeping/decluttering books for some inspiration and start writing out a plan. If I don't I'll just end up wasting more time than I actually use effectively.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel up to tuning my iPod to Issues, Etc. (gotta love Wi-Fi) and digging in.
