I did something!
I've been struggling with February. I don't like it. The last couple of years we've gone some place warm over March break, so it's helped me get through Feb. I get a to-do list going, of things I want to accomplish before leaving. But this year we have no such plans. I am trying to get Greg excited about, or at least interested in, some home improvement activities. I've been meeting with Rachel again, and the last two weeks have been furniture painting. Bill even sanded outside in the freezing cold so I wouldn't have to. I love Bill and Rachel!
The regular housework has been hard for me to overcome, conquer and otherwise maintain. But this week has been better. The upstairs does NOT look like a tornado hit, although the family room DOES look like a preschool that hasn't been cleaned in months. For the first part of the week I struggled to do much other than shiver. But yesterday I got some stuff done. Primarily I washed all of the bedding. And I mean all - except Ellie's comforter which is being done this morning. All of the mattress covers, any pillow covers, sheets, cases, comforters, blankets. You name it, it got done. For FIVE beds. I felt very productive yesterday. Plus I got my clean laundry folded - a huge job, because I can never seem to stay caught up with that. Today I am still doing the regular laundry - got behind on that over the past couple of weeks. I'm sure the washer and dryer will be going non-stop well into tomorrow. Serves me right for sulking in February.
Late this afternoon we may be headed to Bathurst. Our snowmobile - recently purchased, used - had an issue, and the warranty was up on Tuesday. But we got it to them on Saturday in Moncton. They shipped it to Bathurst for the repairs. We don't know yet if it will be finished. But if it is, because we have company tomorrow, we'll have to go for it tonight. Greg gets off early tonight. Still, that means we'll be home around 1 am, I estimate. Some people would think we're nuts - why not just stay home with the kids and let hubby do the trip. But we like road trips, even the kids. We have a dvd player in the Durango, and they do well. And Greg and I like each other, so we want to spend time together. Besides, kids sleep in cars. I think it will be tiring, but fun.
