Here I am, back from New York and it's the last day of February. Time is certainly flying this year - or is it just me?
We arrived back yesterday morning and after tidying away some of our luggage, we took a nap for a couple of hours because I know that if we don't do it then we just don't make it till the evening. One of the hardest things ever is getting out of bed at that moment but I know that I have to do it. Later in the evening we went to bed at around 9 pm and even though I woke up a couple of times during the night (hubby too) we both managed to get a decent night's sleep which - with a bit of luck - will mean that we are through the jet lag thing already.
We had a fabulous time in NY (let's face it, it's hard not to have a great time in NY) and time went WAY too quickly.
Today I have major tidying, laundry etc to get done.
Also I HAVE to make an extensive grocery list both for 'normal' groceries and for the baby shower on Saturday.
Fiori will be moving out in 4 weeks and boy - if she gets the chance i.e. when we are not here - she can make a huge mess but now with her impending move, she has empty boxes and stuff for her new house stashed literally everywhere. She was a bit peeved yesterday when I said that it is all very fine but there will be around 25 people in this house on Saturday - around 20 of them for the first time - and I want this house to be ***** and span by then.
As is normal in her case, she said not to sweat it and everything will be tidy by the time everyone is here.
Now that is the difference between her and me. I want it done NOW!!! She thinks that a few minutes before everyone arrives is soon enough (it doesn't matter that her empty boxes are blocking our doorway and that her new Ikea stuff are on the table I will be using LOL.)
Anyhoo, I will be moving her stuff into her room today - hope she likes where I put it LOL because if she doesn't then it's her problem. But I want to get started on getting this house organized and since she is at work the entire day, this is my chance to get it done without her breathing down my neck.
Oh my, I am being very OCD this morning.
So a very busy day for me. Better get started while I still have the energy.
Have a great day!!
