Monday monday

This might be one of my favorite weeks of the year!  School ended on Friday, the weekend was spent HAVING FUN ... no homework, housework, worries about school this week!  We spent ALL DAY (well 10 - 6 all day) at the local water park on Saturday in spite of so-so weather, made fabulous ribs for dinner last night - LOW & SLOW was my hubbie's motto all afternoon, a few episodes of Food Network's Food Challange with the kids and everyone tucked in snug as bugs by 9:30.  Comfy, cozy ... just perfect.

AND TODAY?????  All three kids just left me here all by myself while they went on vacation with my parents and I won't see them until FRIDAY!!!  I am the happiest of happy campers right now.  While I will miss them, I have a laundry list of awesome stuff that I am going to do by myself every afternoon.  Why only the afternoons?  Because I am going to house clean every morning.

House clean????  Yup, and I am really looking forward to it ... see I haven't been able to scrub walls, pull furniture to the center of the rooms, vacuum EVERYTHING, and toss clutter since before last June and it is just killing me!!  I am not a clean-freak by any stretch of the imagination, but we have way way way too much clutter that has accumulated over the last year and there is simply no room for anything else.  So, with no kids here to try and hoard stuff, I am cleaning, making everything smell fresh as daisies and turning my radios up really really loud.

Now, if you want to come and join me, help yourselves ... there will be some dancing going on!!
