Time to Clean

Today I had this uncontrollable urge to go thru the basket of magazines. I have a large basket on the piano to stash my magazines in. The plan was to have them in one place so I could read them when I got the urge. The truth is I hardly ever get the urge to read a magazine at home. So they've been stacking up. There were probably close to 100 in there. And I don't subscribe to many magazines so they've been there awhile.

I kept the "Country" magazines and the "Taste of Home" but got rid of all the others older than this year. Except for the "National Geographics." I thought maybe if I put them on the bookshelf, the kids would read them. Then I thought again and decided they really would not ever read them but I couldn't just throw them away so I put them in the donate box instead. Hopefully, someone will enjoy them.

I Give Up

I give up. I quit. I admit defeat. I cry "Uncle!" already.

Ugh. None of my children will use the top sheet on their beds. I wash sheets and always put the top one on and make the bed all nice and pretty and the top sheet always ends up on the floor or squashed between the bed and the wall. My Type A personality is completely offended by this.

However, upon further review, I have decided this battle is not worth fighting. So, today, after I washed the sheets, I put the bottom sheets on the beds, and just folded the top sheets and put them away.

Another plus is now when I wash the kids' sheets, I will save an hour since I will only have to do one load instead of two. Yay!
