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?

It is terrible here in Illinois. This is what my house looks like this morning:
We broke our back door trying to open it this morning. My house is a sheet of ice. We have about 4 inches of snow. On top of that, we have freezing rain, so it is definitely an interesting combination we have going on out there. We watched the traffic report starting quite early this morning, and at this point, Bill isn’t even going to try and go to work. The bad thing is that he left his laptop at work, so he’s trying to do what he can from his cell phone. It actually was hailing and snowing at the same time this morning if you can believe it. We are hoping to take the kids out a tad later and maybe build a snowman. However, the snow is more like ice chunks, so I don’t know how easy that is going to be.

Which is why I haven’t been posting here too often. This last week has been a long and trying week for us. Nothing major has went wrong — just a ton of little things. I took last weekend off, and I just never got back into the swing of things. The highlights of my week — Will getting diagnosed again with impetigo and we got new cable, satellite, and phone service. I’ve got a ton of catching up to do, so I’ll be posting a tad later with the other events.

I swear that my kids never quit eating. Now, by looking at Madison, you would never guess that. By looking at Will, you probably would. As a mom, it is hard to decide what to give your kids as a snack. I know that I don’t want them eating chips. Right now, my kids are cereal snack freaks. They can easily finishing off a big box of cereal in less than a week due to eating it for breakfast and then snacking on it the rest of the day. I try and pick nonsugary cereals as much as I can (though when daddy goes grocery shopping, he lets Madison pick a box of her own choice which usually is a tad more sugary than I would like). Madison loves vegetable too, so you would think this would be easy. However, the normal things you would find in a veggie tray is off limits for Will (per his doctor). I can’t feed Madison something I can’t give Will. So, in my house, our snacks tend to include cereal, fruit cups, and goldfish crackers. What kind of snacks do you buy for your kids?

I realize that title isn’t the greatest English. However, in the past couple of days, I have found myself semiaddicted to Facebook. Now, I still don’t understand it, or why I should be using it. I don’t get all those applications. That being said I ran into a bunch of people I went to high school with. It started with one of them friending me. I then started looking for other people I graduated with. It was weird, cool, and a tad freaky all at the same time. I actually had a couple of conversations with some of my old classmates too. I’ll even admit that it kinda makes me want to go to my next class reunion (shh don’t tell anyone). It’s nice to look at the pictures and see that we all have aged, gained some weight, and have some of the cutest kids ever!
Am I the only one who has gotten caught in this time suck? Why do you use Facebook?
