And That’s….the Truth

Finally after two bitterly cold weeks, it looks like things are warming up! Right now it looks like the temperatures will warm up past the freezing mark all week. This is excellent news. Yes, we are supposed to get a little bit of snow. But, if I had my choice (which normally I don’t), I would take the snow over the cold any day. So hopefully the weatherman is accurate and we will be a little bit warmer in our little corner of the world for a while.

So… how was every one’s weekend? Mine was pretty quiet which is fine with me. I did have to work Saturday and Sunday, but only until 2:00 pm. I spent the rest of the weekend just chilling. I didn’t even hardly go on the Internet or check my e-mails all weekend. So you can just imagine what I was faced with this morning. Yup, tons and tons of e-mails. Most of them were just spam e-mails like solicitations for diet supplements but I still had to go through them all in case there was anything important in them. Well, the weekend is gone, so here we go again. I think I may do the same thing next weekend and just chill. I’ll deal with the tons of e-mails Monday morning.

Have I mentioned lately how badly I HATE winter?? Well if not, here we go. I HATE WINTER!! For the past three days we have had some seriously cold weather and it’s really starting to get old now. This morning it is currently minus 13 with a windchill of minus 22. That’s cold!! It’s so cold outside that I absolutely dread having to go back out there again. I wish I could just stay in my nice warm house for the rest of the day. But I can’t. I have to make one more bus run. But after that, you can just bet that I won’t be stepping outside again today.

How was your weekend?? Mine was pretty quiet and uneventful. But, I’m not complaining. Saturday and Sunday I had to work so by the time I got home I was pretty wiped and really didn’t want to do anything anyway. But after a good night’s sleep last night, I am raring to go. So I will be doing a lot of computer work today and trying to get one more room in my house clean. Other than that, I have no real plans today. I need to send a reply back to my nephew concerning his graduation announcements, but other than that nothing real pressing. Hopefully the rest of the week will go like the weekend did. Stress free.

Yay! The vacations are over. My husband is back to work and the two younger kids are back in school. This means a little piece and quite time for me. It is so quiet in here that I can actually get some things done. Yesterday I had a very productive day. I was able to get most of my Internet stuff done and was also able to clean up most of the house, which included dusting the blinds and cleaning out my home office. I am seriously amazed at how much more I can get done when I don’t have the family underfoot. So, for a little while at least I have lots of time to myself and should be able to get quite a bit done.

Now with the holidays dead and gone, we have started to get back into our normal daily routines. This morning my husband went back to work and on Wednesday both kids will be back in school. So this means that I need to get back to my routines as well. When the kids are back in school and not under foot any longer I plan on getting this house back in order. The first thing I plan on doing is going through the bathroom closets and shelves and start throwing out everything I haven’t used in the past year. Yes, this includes any hair vitamins or other vitamins that have passed their expiry date. Normally this amount of housework doesn’t please me, but this time it does. Only for the fact that it means that if I’m doing all this extra housework, that means that the kids are back in school. Yay!!

Well now that Christmas is almost over, the real fun will begin. That means I need to take down the tree, put all the gifts away and get my living room back in order. I want to do this like I want to look up cheap auto insurance on the Internet. Not!! But, since no one else in my home is going to do it, I really need to get started. I always like to have everything done by New Year’s Eve. So I really need to get a move on it. I really wish I had a cleaning fairy at my disposal. Then this job would go a lot more quickly.
