Productive Monday

Since it is Spring Break I have a couple of goals for this week.
1. Is to get some work done around the house and declutter things.
2. To get some scrapbooking time and relaxing time in.

So today I was able to clean up a little in the kitchen and then sorted through about 4 boxes of clothes from the basement. This resulted in 2 large 33 gallon garbage bags of outgrown clothes for Salvation Army a huge stack of clothes for Kristen and one box full of clothes that she will grow into yet. Of course still more to do.
Also managed to rearrange Kristen's room to make it a tad easier for her to get into the room and open her closet. Her room is so small that there really isn't much you can do with it.

I also spent some time working on my puzzle swaps and finished group 1 and got 1/2 way through group 2's. Plan to finish the rest tomorrow afternoon and then put it in the mail.

I have promised the girls that if they help really well in the morning they can have the afternoon and evening to play.

Another day off

Okay, I am home again, but this time it isn't because of a snow day. Kristen came home from school last night not feeling well. My kids don't get sick to often, but when they do watch out. We went to the dr. this morning and found out that not only does she have the flu that is going around, but also and ear, nose, and throat infection, and bronchitis. Since she is all grown up at the age of 8 she thought for sure she would be given pills to take, but no, she still gets to have the liquid medicine with a syringe. At least she takes it better than she used to. When she was little it took Kurt, Sarah, and myself to get medicine into her. You know Kristen is not feeling well when all she wants to do is lay around and when the fashion plate doesn't want to get dressed in the morning. She was actually quite happy to go to the Doctors in her P.J.s Must be sick. While there I also had the dr. check out my toe again. Thankfully the infection hasn't spread to the bone, like he thought. I am also on a powerful antibiotic and have to go back again in about 2 1/2 weeks.
