It’s been a busy Monday here at our house so far. Nothing out of the ordinary, really, but just staying busy around home. I feel like I’m perpetually in “tidy up” mode around here and nothing every gets clean and stays clean, so that adds to the busy factor. But, hey, it’s better to be busy than bored, right? That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.
We’re getting ready for PePaw’s arrival tomorrow. He’ll be leaving Michigan early tomorrow morning and driving all day to get here. It’s about a 13-hour drive. Whew! We are all excited about him coming to spend the week with us. The girls can hardly wait! One of the things I’m working on today is preparing the guest room so he’ll have a nice place to sleep. I have a BAD habit of making our guest room a “collection” room for clothes, photos, etc. So, I have to declutter a bit for him to have the room to himself. It needs to be done anyway, of course, so this visit is just the motivation I’ve been needing.
Today I get to help one last time with driving a Kidz 2 Leaders intern home from work. K2L is the organization that runs the camp we went to a few weeks ago. They help children who have an incarcerated parent (or parents). These kids get to start the program in third grade and K2L is there for them all the way through college, etc. The intern I am picking up today is about to be a senior in high school. She wants to go to college to become a registered nurse and I know she’ll make a great one. I look forward to our visit in the car today.
I know this is a random tidbit to throw in about my day, but I had tomato sandwiches (yes, plural – two of them!) for lunch and they were SOOOOO good!! Oh, I do love a tomato sandwich. I love them on white bread (I use White Wheat) with low-fat mayo. I use fresh tomatoes and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper. Perfectly delicious!! YUM! And, I justified two because they aren’t high in calories or fat either. Gotta love that.
Guess I should get back to cleaning, decluttering and organizing. Wish me luck!
