Merry Christmas!

Our family had a Merry Christmas. The turkey dinner turned out well and the gifts were delightful. The day went quickly. Today after the dishes have been done and put away, I see that the kitchen floor needs to be done again. Someone spilled something. It's necessary to dust and vacuum. We clean before company comes and again after they leave. It's a labor of love. We do all of this before the next holiday comes in a week, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I bought a Real Simple Cleaning book to assist me in cleaning problems as they arise. In that book I have found a great way to wash up the coffee drops which were left on the laminate floor. There are other great ideas in that book as well. In three weeks I will have someone come again to help me clean. Until then it's all up to me. Sometimes I feel like Cinderella.
