It's amazing to me how much stuff slips through the cracks during the school year. Today, I vacuumed, steam cleaned, washed all my bedding down to the mattress and sunned the feather mattress, threw out enough junk and old mail to half fill a giant trash bag (this may be the week the trash men lynch me), rearranged my living room, put slip covers back on my couches, swapped out a small bookcase for a much larger one, and renewed two magazine subscriptions that had lapsed.
The sad part is that I'm only about halfway done with all the things I need to take care of urgently. Before I can get to the things that can wait but need to be done (like my closet. oh my god. my closet....), I have to get the house to a place where I wouldn't be ashamed if somebody came into it. I probably have one more day of heavy cleaning before it will come to that point. Then I'll just be sorting through the piles I try so HARD not to make during the school year but that always seem to accumulate on the flat surfaces anyway.
At some point, I have to stop and do a lot of reading for Turkey. Hey, you know what? This is feeling a LOT like the school year, after all. (sigh) Well, I have a pile of clean sheets I need to get out of the dryer so I can reassemble my bed.
