Hanna blew through last night & into the morning. The rain stopped around 11am & the final count was 4inches. A few limbs in the yard & that is all! Looks like Ike has headed for the Gulf so maybe we'll get through this season safe!
The rain kept us in this morning so I did a little cleaning. You all know I have cleaning issues! The Poole kids all have our OCD quirks, thanks Dad! My biggest is cleaning....a great disorder to have, but clutter makes me nervous & it isn't always a good thing! This morning I tackled the hardwoods. Our house is 1/2 hardwood floors, I fell in love with them when I walked into the door last summer, but they aren't always the most fun to clean! They get mopped often, Swiffer WetJet at least weekly (who doesn't love the Swiffer?!), but they need that deep Murphury's Oil clean from time to time & it was time. Seth hid out in the office to watch tv & I put some elbow grease in & got them done. They look good & smell great! A productive Saturday morning!
Mom is healing from her surgery & doing some organizing at the house while she is recovering. Love my mom, but my clean freak genes didn't come from her- she is our clutterbug! She found lots of old family items last week: pictures, keepsakes, & this old newspaper clipping. I had forgotten all about it! Pretty neat shot. Mom & I got a good laugh out of the pigtails. I was a pain when it came to my hair as a kid. That OCD again! I always took it down & redid it after she left the room, so in about 1st grade she gave up & made me do it myself so we'd all be happy! I pulled it back sooooo tight! Old memories always make you smile! To be young & carefree! Thanks for putting up with me mom!! =)
sounds like you will need to scrap some of those photos :D - glad you survived hanna - and any time you have extra "built up" anxiety you can come over here and help do my hardwood floors/windows/ or anything else :D .... p.s the kids think that picture is too cute
