Take Two, Skip a Few, Now We Are Six (Day Six That Is)

The weekend blissfully enfolded me into family busy-ness and cozy time and before I knew it days four and five had slipped right by me. I had every intention of writing every day, but found myself immersed in being with TR and the kids and somehow blogging took back seat.

So I have been kind of productive, my house does need to be vacuumed and dusted (I recently read a National Geographic article on mites and I am horrified of what my house looks like, microscopically) I still need to put the drying rack and Thomas' sweaters away. The couch needs a good plumping, but besides that things are in reasonable order.

Yesterday I tackled the book portion of my tidying endeavour and I discovered two major things; the first is that the majority of books in the house don't belong to me, and the second is that all the books I have are sentimental. I kept any book from my childhood and a few stories that I might not read regularly, but comfort me to have around (yes, it's Moomintroll and oddly enough Thorton W. Burgess, I love his stories!), all the books by or illustrated by Dorothy P. Lathrop ( I found one inscribed to my Great-Great Grandfather) things like that. Books that were moved out were the Tarzan books I had, series that I had from younger days that I will never read again and are readily available at the library. I packed up two boxes of books (with TR's help) and they are ready to take to the book sellers to offer for resale. Anything that is rejected goes to the Salvation Army.

That's all for now...hopefully I will have more tidying reports soon! Goodnight?
