Saturday Morning

                   Today I have a bit of a cold.

                         When I was young I would watch The Brady Bunch, Family Affair, The Partridge Family and even the much older black and white shows. Whenever someone got the slightest sniffle...into bed they went.

                  Into BED....They stayed in Bed and someone else brought them soup and tea and crackers.....


                        Wheres my stinkin' soup?? Why am I the only one awake and every one else is sleeping on this freezing Saturday Morning? I should be snoozing too!!!UGH


There, I've had my rant....time to get to work.

                          I look around and there is so much to do. I am in no way going to be able to clean this mess all in one day. It didn't take just one day to get it this way...So it's not going to take one day to clean and organize.

And Here's the problem with shouting ( to no one in particular) ...

                                 "TODAY I'M CLEANING THIS WHOLE HOUSE!!!"

                                   You can have the best intentions and wake up feeling the strength of a super hero, but an hour in you're going to feel like crapola and look around at the additional mess you have created while "cleaning" and throw in the towel. DONE

Not to mention if you re a mom...there are kids to feed, and (if they're a bit older) places to go...a lot of places to go!

And if you are an older mom you might also be caring for an elderly parent too.

OK OK, breathe. We can do this,

                                                        but first.....coffee...and maybe a bit of poundcake


Have I told you I'm a bit of a procrastinator?....
