Weekend!!

I thought this weekend would never come!!

We had a very long week. Performance Reviews were due at work and I have been busting my ass to get them done, on top of numerous other things to do. I love my job, I really do, but man alive, I didn't think I'd have this much work to do. Everyone from other areas emails me the questions, errors, reports, etc. Hello - there are three others that you could share these emails with- why do they all come to me??

However I do have this slight compulsion and once they've been sent to me, I don't dare forward them to anyone else to do for fear they won't be completed and I'll look like the idiot.

So - my "to do" list is a mile long and I hope to tackle it tomorrow. (Yes- I work AGAIN on a Saturday!!)

The girls and I both had a stomach bug this week. Blech. The only thing worse than being sick, is being sick, the girls being sick and Allan being out of town. *groan*

Alas, it's Friday night. I didn't work today so I hosted a playdate and had a great time. It has been too long!! Once I get back to my evenings at work I will get back to hosting weekly playdates on Thursday mornings. So come one- come all!

I have been cleaning like mad. I don't know why everyone gets worked up with "Spring Cleaning", to me the "Fall Cleaning" is much more important.

a) Soon it will be cold outside, the house will be shut up, no more windows being open, no more fresh air being let in. It's time to get this house spotless before we're all caged in here like animals LOL!

b) We'll spend a lot more time indoors come winter so we need the room to do it. I am clearing out one of the storage rooms to make Madison her own private play area. She really needs some "me space".

c) It's the new school year. Allan starts school (his LAST year I might add!) Madison starts school (her FIRST year!!.) It's a new fiscal year at work (so much to do, so many new things I want to implement). So many clean slates and time to start fresh. I need an organized home to do it in!!!

So - today I cleaned upstairs and started the laundry. When I say laundry I mean all of the towels, bedding, etc. It's ALL getting cleaned. Tomorrow I will finish the laundry and pack Madison's bag for her trip to Granny's cottage. Sunday I will clean and vaccuum the basement and then all next week will be the *drum roll please* cleaning out the playrooms. SO much easier to do when Madison is out of town and won't declare every broken McDonald's toy as being "her absolute favourite-most important-won't ever put it down-I've been looking for this for years- toy in the world"!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
