I had hoped that today would be a wonderful day of doing many things that simply need done.  You know the things I'm talking about, cleaning the cupboards, around the edges of the room with the vacuum, cleaning the ceiling fan, dusting in the china hutch - those kind of things.  I was ambitious and had a list a mile long.  Today was cleaning with a smile. 

Well, sometimes the best laid plans lay in ruin.  Such is today, so far, I'm not throwing in the towel totally yet.  It is 10:30 a.m. and we are just sitting down to our lovely breakfast.  By the time we clean up this mess it will be 11 or 11:30.  Then Jubilee will need to nap and just a half hour later Hosanna and Beth will need to be put down for some rest.  This is not turning out the way I planned!
