Jan. 3-16 Christmas Recovery Weeks

[SparkleNana]

Doodlebug - we are glad that you ARE part of this -- and please keep posting!! Everybody -- PLEASE keep posting! We really do keep each other going! Enthusiasm is contagious!

OK -- I am slipping into the LIVING ROOM! Christmas is not PERFECTLY DONE! But -- it is done - GOOD ENOUGH! I work on Christmas all year anyway.... certainly on Rudy Day every month. So I don't want to have everything Christmas too far away!

Well -- you know that dh put together the new IKEA dresser in the living room yesterday. So the room is a shambles! Plus.... the enormous carcass of the old TV is still sitting in the living room from last Sunday. Our plan is to pull the rug -- with the old TV on it -- to the front door -- and OUTSIDE. Dh called and our trash collectors will take it as part of a "special trash pickup". I'm glad dh called them -- I didn't think they would take electronics.

So... I am slipping into our NEXT 2-week section.

AND -- the reward is -- that the First Wednesday Women's Wine Night will be at my house in early February! So -- the reward will be ----- hopefully ----- no last minute panic! Or - is that too much to ask?

Well I have had 3 days of real life, so now I need to try to kick it in the butt to finish my upstairs. I loved the days with family and friends but I feel my motivation slipping! Can't have that, so need to come on site daily for a boost. glad everyone is trying to stay motivated too. Was hoping for a long dreary winter to keep up with my cleaning, but as of this morning we have no snow, so am starting to hear the outside calling... am hoping for a few more storms...

I got everything done on the first week list. Yay!!! I can't believe I did it. I didn't stress over falling behind, I just did what I could each day and I did better than Ithought I would. Thanks again to MHH and all the help from this family.
