Christmas Cleaning!

Yesterday was a massive cleaning day! I sent my kids to my mother in laws for the day, so I could work without interruption. And, would you like to know how much I actually got done? THE KITCHEN! How sad is that! I had so many papers, magazines, drawings, everything imaginable, that I had to sort through. Plus, I had to clean the fridge out and the oven and the food cupboard. It took forever! The most frustrating thing about it is, cleaning the kitchen really is a thankless job. Nobody ever notices that you have cleaned out the oven or fridge, or on top of the cupboards. And, it will be back to the same state in a few days anyway. Oh well, now I just need to find the motivation to do the rest of my house. I intended to do it today, but I keep finding other excuses.
The reason I am cleaning is so that I can put up my Christmas tree and decorations on Sunday. I can't wait! I LOVE Christmas, and even more so now that I have kids! It's like I get to be a kid all over again! Now, if only I could get that excited over the actual Christmas shopping....
