Busy As A Bee

Once again I've neglected my blog and friends are contacting me wondering where I've been. It's even brought some lurkers to the surface to comment (Hi, Tam! I tried to contact you but you don't have a blog or an email listed on your profile).

I don't know if it's Spring fever or the fact that my hubby's brother and his girlfriend will be here visiting from Fort Worth next weekend, but I've been on a cleaning spree this week. I've been busy as the proverbial bee.

I don't often get the urge to clean and most of the time I can subdue it with cookies or cinnamon rolls, but since I've been trying to eat healthier I guess the urge overtook me. Steamed broccoli is apparently not a good preventative against the cleaning urge.

I've been doing a lot of those things that need to be done but nobody notices but you, if you know what I mean.

Wednesday I did 5 loads of laundry and put them away, and also sewed a robe for a male church friend to wear in our Easter program. Then I promptly left it on the couch as I went out the door headed to church. I also cooked supper amidst other things.

Thursday I cleaned the bathroom. Scrubbed the tub and washed the nonslip mat and the bathmat, and scrubbed the sink. I also swept and mopped the floor and put down clean bath rugs, and scrubbed the *commode. (*Toilet to you non-Southerners.)

I also washed some sheets and some other laundry, cooked supper and had Emmy from about 4:30-7 pm.

Today so far I've taken down the drapes in here in my computer room and hung up new ones, and did some sorting, rearranging and chucked some stuff in the trash. I still need to do quite a bit more of that in here. I'm going to try to get to that sometime in the next several days if I don't manage to fight off this cleaning urge.

I've also cooked supper (Ge*rge F*reman grilled pork steak, speckled butterbeans and the aforementioned steamed broccoli) and had Emmy for several hours until her Daddy picked her up, and cleaned the litter pan for my 2 kitties. Hope that's not too much information for y'all.

As soon as I post this I'm going to sweep and mop my kitchen and utility room floors and while the floor is drying I'll clean off my end tables in the living room and clean the bird cage and give Ed the zebra finch some fresh food and water. Nothing like fresh newspaper to look at before you poop on it I guess.

When I have a little free time or take a break from cleaning I'm either in here reading and commenting on blogs or crocheting. I'm working on another full sized afghan for a friend.

We're forecast to have some bad storms moving in after midnight, so we may be dodging tornadoes later. Texarkana and Arkadelphia already have tornado warnings as I'm typing this. I hope and pray it's not too bad this time.

I'll have Emmy all day Saturday so I don't know how much cleaning I'll accomplish but I'm going to try to get some other things done. I know I still have some bed clothes that need laundering. Lord willing I'll be back to do my Sunday Dinner post on Saturday evening. As of right now I have no idea what I might be cooking. Hopefully inspiration will strike me sometime between now and time to cook and post about it.

Y'all have a great weekend, y'hear?
