Quiet House, Busy M.O.M.

The majority of my family is gone and the kids that are still here were away from the house with friends or quietly in their rooms today. This is what I’ve been waiting for, to be able to tackle this house. I’ve scratched the surface of tasks that need to be done and there’s PLENTY more waiting for me over the next few days. There’s lots of clearing out to do. We live in a small space, which means there’s not much room for clutter. When clothes are grown out of, they need to be packed up and sent to cousins and when books aren’t being used, they need to be donated. This is the chore that’s waiting for me in every room of this house.

I’m grateful for this time! I was home, full-time, for the vast majority of 16 years. When I went to work last Fall, many household tasks got put on the back burner. I’m hoping to catch up!

Maddi turned 14 today! She had summer school, helped with chores and then was picked up and treated to some birthday pampering by a friend. When they headed over to the friend’s house, she was surprised to find out that a party was waiting for her. What a great birthday! What great friends! I hope this is the beginning of a great year!

Now, this tired M.O.M. needs to talk about my morning at Kraze Boot Camps and hit the sack.

Good night~
