Raising Hands

My Spring cleaning efforts have branched out from just disinfecting every surface. One thing leads to another and now there's talk about a garage sale. Taking up precious space on my pantry floor is a collection of vases I have picked up over the years. Two in particular have been packed up and relocated with us three times! They are not expensive or pretty but were decorations from our wedding. I don't even like them. So I have decided they need to go. I snapped a picture, cut the ribbons off, washed them up and put them in the yard sale box. I need to do more of this letting go. It feels good. I'm never going to be a minimalist. I kind of love knick knacks. But there's a feeling of weight being lifted when we get to a place where we can just let go.

Today's forecast calls for full sun and 75 degrees and not a moment too soon. The windows in this house will be opened and I intend to banish ALL THE GERMS! We have all recovered. I've gone through almost every room, cleaned it, then wiped everything down with a bleach solution (Yeah, I said bleach. Deal with it.) Nothing like a little Norovirus to get the Spring cleaning going:-) Have a great week!

I have entered week three of taking care of someone with stomach flu:-( I am sure that Jacob is our outbreak monkey and this virus is nasty. I thought it was over last week but Stephen succumbed after church on Sunday and William went down today, and Bella seems to be going through round two this afternoon (poor baby) I am the only one who remains healthy. I have recipes to share and other fun things I'd like to blog but I am buried under piles of laundry and my need to disinfect the house (again). Pray for us. That is all:-/ Edit: Friday, April 5. I spoke too soon. Mom down.........
