Birthdays
I live to plan and throw birthday parties for my children. I'll admit it----I'm a birthday planner addict. Little girl J, who will be 3, February 10th has decided that she doesn't want a party. What's a mom to do? I had begun planning months ago. I guess it will be just cake with the family. My mother thinks this is great. I am already having withdrawal---but, alas, R's birthday is just one month later. Don't dissappoint me, little guy!

Menu Planning Revisited
How did I do? Well, I actually stuck to the menu, but changed the days. We didn't have the steaks, but I will add this to next week's menu (will post tomorrow). I have finished in the kitchen, but have had an aha moment: Cleaning house is like squeezing into too small jeans-as you pull them up the fat just gets shoved to another part of the body. As my kitchen became decluttered, the rest of the house felt the overflow. I did, however, throw out a bunch of stuff! Garbage man will hate me come Tuesday!

Getting it done....
or at least trying! My focus for today is the kitchen. I actually started yesterday. I've got the food cabinets cleaned and organized and now I am working on the dreaded catch-all cabinets-tupperware, baking items, small appliances, etc. It's amazing the amount of cookie cutters we have. I should have posted before pics, but the camera is on the blinks. Break over-I need to return to my work and I will get it done (keep repeating in my mind!).
