Patch O' Dirt Farm

1) I washed all my floors. You have no idea how badly they needed it unless you, too, stick to patches of blue kids' toothpaste whenever you go into the bathroom...

2) I have about a third of the kitchen cleaning done. On one side of the kitchen, all the cabinets have been cleaned out, vacuumed, wiped and emptied of things I don't use and pre-millenium food items...I figure another 5 days (working about 2 hours a day), to finish the kitchen, including cleaning the oven and cook top and emptying and cleaning the fridge and freezer. Then it's on to the pantry...

3) I've continued to put meals on the table and resort to cereal for breakfast only once or twice a week.

4) I invited my mother to dinner. I love having her over, but I dread asking her because I don't want to make her feel obligated to come. She's of a nervous disposition (much like her own mother and my sister), and I always fear that my gang is too much for her nerves. They all want her attention and can be quite overwhelming. Anyway, she gladly accepted, and I have promised the kids that good behavior will receive its just rewards, as will poor behavior...
