Catch-up Post

Our "light" snow on Saturday turned into 6 1/2 inches. It just kept coming, guess that's what I get for bitching about a little snow coming our way! Thankfully it was sunny on Sunday and a lot of it melted. I ended up going to Springfield again last Saturday. Chely and the kids were going and wanted me to ride along. With the snow I didn't want Chely out on the roads by herself with the kids. They bought a different vehicle, and needed to go back to the dealer to finalize some things. Anyway we didn't get left until after noon and I ended up just going to Kurt & Holly's with the kids while Chely did her business. Emily & Patrick love to go to Zoe's and play so they had a blast. We enjoyed supper at Olive Garden and then headed back home. What usually takes about 1 hour 20 minutes took us well over 2 hours. The roads were good in places but not in others, it was hard to tell what was just wet and what was ice or even worse black ice. It was a stressful trip home.

Sunday I did the laundry and cleaned like a mad woman. Although it's not my favorite activity I clean my house all the time (because I have to--can't stand for my house to be dirty/messy--my own little OCD), but for some reason on Sunday I was just in the mood to clean. I usually space the cleaning out over the week and just do the extra jobs on the weekend, but not Sunday, I just kept finding more things to do. So I think I'm going to take tonight off, must of burnt myself out.

You are not the only one who is OCD about cleaning the house. I hate the house to be dirty/messy. I am constantly cleaning.

I'm OCD as well about cleaning as well. Azzie does her best about putting her toys back in the toy chest but there are always little parts of the big toys everywhere. David is a big mess always leaving dirty dishes out and empty soda cans or water bottles out, so I have two "kids" to clean up after ... it never ends. :-(
