Holiday Cleanup

How do you clean up after the holidays?  For us, it is a tad more interesting.  Madison’s birthday was yesterday (she turned 5!), so we always have the quick cleanup that needs to be done from the time we get back from visiting Wisconsin and her birthday party.  I usually get about a week if we are lucky.  Since we have the basement now, Bill let me keep up the Christmasy decorations, but we did pull down the Christmas tree.  I need as much room as we can get, and this is pretty much the only way I was going to get it.  I figure everybody will hang out downstairs for her party just like they did for Christmas Eve.  The sad thing is that we are the only one on the block who still has their outdoor lights up.  Now, we don’t leave them up till June or anything, but it seems that it is kinda odd that on 8th of January that everyone has packed up everything already.  Now, I’ve slacked this week, and I have to get all my cleaning done tomorrow with the kids underfoot.  This should be interesting.  My sister is arriving tomorrow, so its not quite the end of the world if she’s the only one who sees my non-clean house.

How do you clean up?  Do you have a set plan?  Do you just do a little bit each day?

Annoying Calls

When your phone number is one number off from the cab company, you get a lot of annoying calls (especially on New Years Eve).  I just got one now at 11:30 at night.  However, what annoys me more is the telemarketers that call.  It gets to the point that you pay for caller id just to get their number.  However, the annoying telemarketers have gotten smart, and a lot of the time it the number is the only thing that shows up.  You never know if you should answer the call or not!  That is why I like sites like AnnoyingCalls.com, because you can enter the number in and see if anyone is having a problem with that number.  You can also put the number on the site with your complaint about them.  If you have problems with telemarketers, you should definitely check this out.

When bloggers meet

I finally got the pictures off my camera, and I have to show you all this picture. This is what happens when bloggers meet with their kids. This is Elizabeth from Table4Five with all the kids. Of course, there was no way to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time, so I had to settle with one person. With this many little ones running around, I am so glad I don’t have any glass sinks! Amazingly, nothing got broken and everyone had a good time, so we are going to have to plan on doing this again soon!
