I had about a thousand things to do on Sunday – one was to clean the house. Not deep cleaning.  instead just dusting and vacuuming which does involve picking up stuff and putting things away (often the lion’s share of cleaning).

I only finished one coffee table – cleaned and dusted!  I started on the buffet next to the stairs and stopped… there’s a chance I might have said a little wirty-dord in the process.  Why? Because every time I tried to put something away – endless undone pieces of projects – someone would fuss.  “Why did you put that in a drawer? It’s out of sight so I won’t remember to do it.”

It was put in the drawer to get out of sight!  Woe is the tail chasing!

I gave up.  The floor was picked up, but not vacuumed. One table was dusted.  And the buffet and other table tops in the living room remain cluttered.

The husband left to get our cooking ingredients just one hour before company was due.  I needed mayo for the deviled eggs and some soft cheese for my macaroni. The last minute rushing always elevates my stress!

Watching my friend’s little boy climb my tree – and having a tree designed just for climbing – made it all worthwhile, though. And so went my weekend… how was yours?
