Not so bad!

Our change in plans is actually turning out to be enjoyable for me. I woke up at 9:00 with energy and excited to clean the house. I'm much more motivated to do that when there aren't very hairy dogs waiting to come back in to track hair and mud all over the house. I love my dogs, but I do not love the constant battle to keep the house clean.

I now have a clean refrigerator and an newly organized office. The office organization started last night when I decided to move my trash can into a drawer. Avery is always pulling the tissues out of the trash can and pulling them apart, so I decided it was finally time to find some place other than the top of my desk to put the trash can. While cleaning my office, I found a Cheerio in the shredder (which is always unplugged) and cracker bits all over the wall. In fact, odd things are popping up all over the place. Dishrags in drawers with pots and pan, boxes that should be empty contain an odd variety of toys, and a paper bag with my camera case in it.

I'm doing pretty good, but still a bit stir crazy. In light of that, I think you can understand why I'd post pictures like my trash can for your viewing pleasure. If you want to see a description of the picture, you can mouse over the 'notes.' I know you, too, are quite bored if you choose to do this. :)
