My Spring Break

Oh my gracious. I have cleaned and organized like a MAD WOMAN this week!

I started to write out all the things I’ve been doing this week, but that just made even more tired! In short, I’ve cleaned and/or organized just about everything in this house, and made plans for cleaning and/or organizing the few things that have escaped my grasp this week. I declared war on dust, donated bags and bags of stuff we don’t need, and even made my houseplants happy. (I even bought them a couple of new friends!)

I accomplished most of my overly-ambitious to-do list, and then some.

But the most notable thing about my week has been that Ken and Lindsey were gone on a mission trip to Dominican Republic, and Kathryn has been with her dad and his family for spring break. This is the first time EVER that I’ve gone more than a day without talking to Ken.

Thankfully, I did have Lacy the WonderDog to keep me company — but she’s not the best conversationalist. Besides, she was too busy watching bunnies nibble clover in the yard.

Ken and Lindsey should be home any time now, and Kathryn is coming back tonight.

I really enjoy some alone time, but this has been entirely. too. much.

    i knew something was up when you said “hmm, what else to organize?” on twitter hehe 🙂

    glad you had such a productive break. it’s nice to reset, but don’t worry, the busy chaos is never far away… i feel the same, i love alone time, but not too much.

    happy weekend to you and yours!

    Wow! You’ve had the kind of spring break I probably should have had. I’m sure you feel MUCH better now with all those projects accomplished. I always do, at least when I actually *do* them. 🙂

    Oh, my goodness! A whole week at home? Alone? That sounds heavenly to me! When you were first talking about your to-do list that sounded like way more than I’d want to tackle in a week. I missed the part about not having people at home to undo your hard work right behind you.

    Oh, the things I could accomplish at home alone for a week. Wow!

    Like you, though, I’d sure be glad when it was time for my people to come home again. Enjoy your time with your family this weekend!

    When I saw your tweet today about getting so much done I figured I should swing by – I was expecting before and after shots and everything (???).

    It sounds like you had jus the perfect amount of you time – and dust bunny time – and that’s good. And you know what? My return tweet to you about being a whirlwind of miracles is being retweeted everywhere – funny.

    God Bless you and all yours Jamie.

    Did they go with Compassion? Our students went to DR last week with them…. That would be a coincidence… 🙂

    I don’t think I would have any idea what to do with myself if I had a week totally alone. Last year I had an hour alone, and I wasn’t sure what to do with myself 🙂
