Fall Clearing

I have worked my patootie off this week. It was time to clear out lots of stuff and I started in the kid's room.  I was sick of the stuff.  They just had way too much and only played with a quarter of it.  It was making it hard for them to clean and making it stressful for me to keep after them on it. So my heart softened and I realized it was just too much for them.  The results were so wonderful I kept going.  Finished all the rooms but the hallway closet and the office. It's B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.  Ahhhh....

So the weirdest thing happened while doing all that.  I would work from the time I woke up till the time I went to bed late at night.  I was exhausted.  My legs would be killing me.  I would lay in bed waiting for sleep and it wouldn't come. My husband said "I thought you were tired".  I was!  I guess my body just was in work mode. It took me 3 hours to wind down and go to sleep.  It happened to me again last night. I didn't stop working till almost midnight and I couldn't actually fall asleep till 4am.  It was really frustrating. It's not like I slept in at all.  I even got up this morning feeling great with only little sleep.  Don't know what's up with that.

My daughter asked if she could help me because she said she wanted to be like Cinderella.  I told her she was dressed too nice and to go get dressed in her "rags".  Heh heh.

P.S. While I was writing this my husband came in and told me he caught my daughter Ivy in the bathroom putting deodorant under my one year old's arms and putting gel in his hair.  Soooo cute.
