OK. Have the coffee and ant-killing out of the way and am ready to start The Plan.

As I was clearing a space in the clutter to sit at the table and have breakfast, I decided I needed to clear the kids’ schoolwork away. And then I decided I should sort it in to piles of art, schoolwork, great art to be scanned to go in the Refrigerator album, and notices and letters that probably could have benefitted from a parent’s attention. For example, the one that asked that we dress the children in weird and wacky clothes. On Feb. 25. *crumple, toss*

And then there is the horror that is my closet. With Gil all moved out I can start rebalancing the contents of the closets, and maybe weed through stuff. Right about then I got all discouraged and thought I’d be better off hiring someone to do a deep clean and purge and organize a new home office because there is no way I will be able to stay on task. Oh, and a sprained wrist and shoulder is a bit of an impediment.

And THEN, an idle chitchat with my buddy revealed that his assistant does this on the side!! We start Saturday! *does Snoopy dance* I cannot wait. My buddy will be the first to admit that he is a hopelessly messy person and she whipped him into shape. Let the whipping begin!

Also? It makes me feel a teeny bit better about going into work at noon today to send a few wires. I promised not to even think about work, but if I know I will be productive over the weekend, I can handle it. Like I handled being there at 8:30 last night doing more of the same. *whistles*

So, my lovelies, thank you very much for your kind comments and encouragement to take it easy. Am hopping in the shower, going to see the doc, going to do a little work and fawn over my administrator’s new baby, and then it’s off shopping!! New desk and file cabinets, here I come.
