In the spirit of 40 degree (albeit WINDY weather), I did a little spring cleaning this day. I was intending to work on the closets to find clothes for the Community Clothing Drive going on this week by the parents and teachers of Head Start.
However, before I could get started, I got caught putting stray books away this morning, realized that I didn't have any more 'book shelf' room and decided to re-arrange the shelves. This lead to the re-organization of Early Readers from Eden's room into Lars' room, and several board books from Lars' room into a basket for Elia. Duplicate books, books that have been hidden for several months because Mom & Dad don't like to read them, and books that didn't fit right went in a pile for donation. This freed up space for newly acquired books and books that haven't been read in eons because they were forgotten or lost on said shelves.
This took all morning (mostly because it's Saturday and these three children suddenly appeared and were needy).
After lunch and a few stray organizing endeavors, I was looking forward to taking the cushions off the couch to vacuum them and find lose change. A fountain coke sounded wonderful. As luck would have it, those three children had found something to do in another room and I could keep all found money. With much excitement, I threw them onto the floor.
I found: One 5 year old sock, one matchbox car, one package of fruit snacks, one blue beaded necklace and several cheerios. Not one penny, nickel, dime or quarter. Nada.
Realizing that my luck had run dry, I called it a day, started supper and decided I really didn't need that coke anyway.
