Monday Monday...
I am in such a Monday mood today.
Something I learned this weekend and my one piece of advice to you today: Don't entertain on a Sunday evening. Especially if it involves little kids, millions of dishes, dirty little fingers on furniture and toys strewn across the lawn. And piles of laundry and cleaning up the next day.
No, I sound like a real grouch and it wasn't awful like I'm making sound. Lilia had so much fun with her cousins, especially the part where she got drenched, head to foot, in the fountain in our front yard. Luckily the weather this weekend was beautiful, 23 degrees and sunny, so she dried off quite quickly...
I know I am going to having to get over my neat-freakness very soon, what with having a walking, talking, messing toddler in our home. But is it really strictly necessary to live in a chaotic mess just because you have kids? Or do you have to dedicate the majority of your day to tidying up after the tornado? I suspect this perfectionist, 'a place for everything and everything in its place' tendency of mine is something I will look back and cringe about. But for now, I like neat, dammit.
In more interesting news, we are planning to have our house painted in two weeks time, something I've been dying to do since we moved in two years ago. A mini garden renovation is also in the very early planning stages, which will involve digging some new flower beds and filling in some old ones to try extend our lawn, which we are also going to replace with some that's hopefully a bit more lush and, well, green.
It's almost like I can feel the whisper of spring around the corner...
