Where does the time go?

I don't feel like I've been especially busy this week, but suddenly I look at the calendar and realize it's Thursday already.  What?!

I guess I have been busy, what with putting the house back together after getting new carpet and reorganizing everything.

Do you want to know what a dork I am?

I organized the attic and the crawlspace.  While I was in the attic, I pulled down all of Carmen's clothes and sorted them into two groups - things I absolutely could not part with (since I plan on having more kids some day!), and things I either desperately wanted to give to DI or would be willing to part with if a friend needed baby girl clothes.  On Monday, our friends the Hurds came over (Katie is due on Valentines Day) and Katie went through my piles of clothes and picked out some things she thought she might like.  After she pulled out a few things, I went through the pile and took back the things I decided I wasn't actually ready to part with, and put the rest in a bag for her to pick up some day. :)

On Tuesday, I made some big trips to drop off recycling and donations for DI.  It feels so good to de-junk the house!!  I really hope that someone, somewhere can use our old stuff ... if not, DI can throw it out and I won't feel bad.  It was kind of cool walking in there the other day and seeing my old bookcase for sale.  Someone's going to enjoy putting all of their stuff on it!

I haven't had Sadie, the kindergartner I watch in the mornings, for a few days because she and her mom have been sick.  It was nice to go out and run errands for long periods of time without worrying about having to come back to drop Sadie off at school.

The house is almost completely back together.  I have a few cardboard boxes I need to recycle, some trash to throw out, and many pictures to hang.  I also need to clean the bathrooms, since I haven't done that since ... uh ... I have no idea. @_@  But my floors are clean and my rooms are organized and all of the furniture is in place!  It feels great!!
