Steady Sunday


Tick tock tick tock, must stay busy.

Some of you are done shopping, some are just beginning, but today I'd hoped to toss out some ideas that strike a balance between slowing things down a bit in preparation for what is sure to be a slammin' week, and feeling the satisfaction of getting some things done, both of a household nature as well as holiday.

Once you slide off facebook and outta that chair, assuming you've had your morning drip or guzzle), and SOME FOOD, consider:

-Keep your washing machine humming.

-Load the dishwasher, keep all dishes moving towards the sink to soak, wipe down counters, appliances and floors.

-Have your kids pick their things up and take everything to their room.

-Vacuum all carpeted flooring.

-Pour some more coffee, distract the wee ones, and set a wrapping goal. Whether it be stocking stuffers, the few things you really don't want to risk being discovered, big things, little things, the goddamned gigantic Tonka truck Debe insists I have wrap, whatever it is, just start wrapping. Wrap for at least an hour, then stash all your supplies...unless you hit a groove and find yourself wrapping on.

-Some dusting and de-cluttering ought to round out this, not slow, but moderate, Sunday.

-Bear in mind the imminent influx of retail madness in the form of boxes and shreds, in five short days, and just clear, clear, clear as much as possible.

-Enjoy some music, enjoy some eats, enjoy some kids, and TGI(not)F!
