TGISaturday
I'm SO glad it's the weekend! Things at work have been SO chaotic and stressful. It's everything I can do to get through the week lately.
I've had no headache since my last post. I still have some swelling in my left temple; and we still don't know why. I'm going to take some time off mid-month and head down to the gulf for a few days. When I return that Monday, I'll see a neurologist. Maybe he can determine what's going on?
In the interim, I'm trying to do a better job at managing my home. The house has gotten completely out of control. I don't know where in the heck all this STUFF comes from. I think we have elves who think they are doing me a favor by creating more stuff and duplicating other things during the night. With school back in full gear, we're all on the run, giving those little elves even more opportunity to create havoc in the house.
I started cleaning out last week and stacking boxes in the living room to go to a yard sale and/or the thrift store. That plan didn't go over well with DH, who feels the living room should remain clean at all times since it's the main room of the house. I, on the other hand, feel that the LR is the most central area of the house and the most efficient to collect and stack while cleaning. I've TRIED explaining to DH that he CAN ignore it for a week or so until I can get it all finished; afterall, it's just ONE room. He made it 3 days before he announced "I can't stand it anymore!" and started moving everything around again. My boxes are again all over the house; and I'm ready to strangle him!
Neither of us like the house cluttered or messy. But on the other hand, our cleaning syles are very different. These two facts can create some substantial tension during such busy, hectic times. Although much better now than during the first few years of our marriage, we still can't seem to "come together" on this topic. I wonder if there are any therapists out there who specialize at cleaning counseling? We may need it sometime! *LOL*
In the evenings, while the girls are doing homework and settling in for the night, I've been working on a scrapped Faithbook for my grandson. You can check out the pages I've finished thus far by right-clicking the title on this post, and opening a new window.
