It is something about the pollen in the air or the birds chirping incessantly. Makes me crazy, insane… I get all sorts of wild ideas.
Things like:
- I should try to become a morning person. Get up early every day and really enjoy the morning.
- It would be nice to take up jogging. Or exercise of some kind. Maybe I could get up early and swim in the mornings.
- Oh, and I should diet. Or eat more vegetables. Or both. And drop those 10 or 15 pounds I’m still carrying from Caroline.
- Maybe I should take up a hobby. Knitting? Or sew some curtains for the house…?
- You know what I’d really like to do? Clean out the garage! That would be awesome.
- Ooh, and sort through my closet. Get rid of stuff I dont wear and organize my clothing and junk.
- And while I’m at it, I should sort through the kid’s toys. And get rid of the junky ones (happy meal toys anybody?) and pack away outgrown ones.
- Oh, and you know what? I’ve always wanted to make jam. Lots of jam…!
- And wash the windows!!
- And clean the baseboards with a toothbrush!

You are scaring me a bit. Step away from the crazy.
Maybe try one of those things so you will you know, maybe do it?
Baseboards with a toothbrush? Friend first take your temp and make sure you aren’t ill. Then? Invest in clorox wipes. Trust me.

I totally get it!
And yes, I have taken a toothbrush to the
baseboards before!
And lately I am totally thinking of learning how to sew curtains (with the sewing machine I don’t own)
and if you want to make jam? Let me know cause I went through that crazy 2 years ago and have all the shit.

A toothbrush? I just use my broom and sweep the dirt/dust of the baseboards and then vacuum it all up. SO much easier, you know, when I actually clean my baseboards!!!
Spring allergies are the devil!

I love the feeling of actually DOING one of these things. Any of them. The other day I took a damp paper towel and cleaned some of the baseboards and I was so impressed by how clean the house looked. HA! Of course, no one else noticed.

I have all the same thoughts…as I sit on my couch! hahaha BUT I did have veggies last night with my dinner. And then I watched Kirstie Alley’s new reality show about her losing weight and I turned to J and said we have to walk NOW! I don’t want to be like her!!!!! LOL So we did.
PS Magic eraser is GREAT for the baseboards and a lot easier than a toothbrush. also good for banisters!! I removed I don’t know how many layers of GRIME from our banister and now it’s white again!!

Don’t use a toothbrush. If you MUST clean baseboards – Magic Eraser.
As for the rest of it? The only other word I recognized in there was jam.
Jam is super easy to make. As soon as the local strawberries start coming in here, I will be up to my elbows in strawberry jam. Yum.
