I was "forced" to stay in my bedroom friday, while we were snowed in, and the kids made me PROMISE not to come out. :knitting:with a bit of trepidation I did knit the day away.
When we did get up to go to a school potluck dinner, they showed me the livingroom (AKA family storage area)
:inlove:the floor was cleared, baskets of c r a p had been sorted and put away, old school work put away or recycled, the floor (yes the FLOOR) swept
it was incredible:woot:
then yesterday my daughter told me she had to go help her friend while I went to a CPR class. I had set it up for her sister and she to go to my sisters house. I told her as soon as her friend got home she could go over, and could be home alone until then, but she had to text me when she left the house (or her friend came over)
she is my reliable kid, so it was cool;)
when I came home she had the BIGGEST smile on her face,:) and told me she had to make a 'Presentation'
so I was led into my house (was it my house?) and I saw the livingroom not just cleaned but, the furniture done like a designer layout in a magazine.:inlove:
Dining room table is on an angle, chairs around, pictures on the walls, hope chest placed nicely, crappy old coffee table downstairs in storage, :happydance:
The tree was put up saturday after the FIRST cleaning event, but I could have my grandmother over now, it looks THAT good
:cheering::yay:
Thank You Tasha!!!!!!!!!!!!:woohoo::thumbsup::woohoo:
