A snow day of happiness!

First off, thank you to everyone for commenting on my last post, thankfully those feelings only lasted for a day, and everything is right in the world.

I got up today as I normally do (too late of course) and hopped into the shower…when I got out I noticed a txt from a school friend that said “school is closed today…” At first I didn’t believe it, but when I saw our school’s name on the closing list on TV I jumped for joy! (figuratively). Since I had already showered there was no point moping around – it was about 8 a.m. by this point. I have ALL Day to finally clean, organize and do laundry. An ENTIRE day! I am kind of OCD and anal when it comes to organization and cleanliness. However these past few months I have slacked immensely. With school, babysitting (only one hr. a week) and Mutual I am lucky if I bring the clean clothes basket upstairs! Not today!!! It’s not even 1 and so far I have:
*Scrubbed the bathrooms
*Dusted the whole house
*Sorted out the laundry
*Organized the bills and thrown away all junk mail
*Changed the sheets on our beds
*Vacuumed
*Gathered up the garbage
*Made the shopping list and other errands list
*Took out some pork chops to thaw for dinner
*Put the dishes away

I had to write this out, b/c this hasn’t happened all at once in a very long time, so I want to have a record of it! These are very simple and ordinary things, but it has lifted my spirits today!

Clutter affects all aspects of my life. When my room is cluttered I can’t sleep well. When everything is strewn about I can’t think straight. When I can’t remember if I paid a bill or if anything is due…I get nervous. Having these in order, I feel like I can be myself again. Stress free if you will. I always use the excuse “I just don’t have time” when in reality I may have the time but, 8 p.m. isn’t the best time to clean the house! Ahhhhh, today is a great day! Cold and snowy weather may be not the most ideal weather…but it sure brightened my spirits today!
