"Let's tidy up the nursery!"

Today has been one of those days, plenty to do, yet not a ton got done... funny how that works, huh? I did school the kids today. E is doing good with her phonics, and we worked on art instead of math today, C refused to do his phonics, so we did art and hand-eye coordination instead with little sister RB (not quite two). I did a grocery run and watered the "green house-patio" which really isn't at all a green house, just container growing on the front "porch" and landing area, and part of it has indoor/outdoor carpet so it does feel-ish like it could be an extension of inside the house. Dinner has been had and the bedtime crankies are coming on so bedtime isn't too far off. But there is a strange feeling in the air.. Strangely cool and humid, like a storm is coming even though there isn't one in the forecast. So I'm thinking..

Tonight is a great night to get all the machines running, work on Mt. Washmore, clean the main areas of the house, and get some typing in! Yeah! So My current plan is to:

get the kids to bed
Get the dishwasher running
Start up the washer and drier... ugh.. I hate using so much juice for stuff, but we haven't simplified enough to do without them yet!

while those are running I'll make a quick run through of the house and get things tidy and then turn to some office time.
I'm very excited because tomorrow is Garage day! Who would think cleaning a garage would be something to look forward to?
Maybe I'll be able to get a few files done as well, but we'll see.

But tomorrow for sure should be a good laundry day.. wake up early.... get the washer running, and put my clothesline to great use! Bring it! So maybe tomorrow will be a progress report.. . and soon maybe I can start prepping my fiber-fleece! "Let's do this thing!!!" (from Ratatouille )
