So, as I'm standing at my sink washing dishes today, I had a rather deep intrusion into my psyche that I found a little interesting.
You see, I was irritated with myself because I'd left this plate with the crumbs from my cheese & crackers lunch yesterday. Time slipped away from me and I was rallying the troops to get dressed for a dinner party.
As I get further into the dishes I also am quite happy to see that soaking the Cuisinart Sauce Pan with Marshmallowy Goodness inside worked like a charm. I love my cookware!!!
This is in such a stark contrast to almost 10 years ago when I had a friend come clean my house because I had had surgery. I think we almost lost her in my laundry room. Des, I will never forget that!!!
I'm currently in some, hmm...negotiations...with Madison's teacher about some missing work. She asked me to look here at home. I wanted to invite her to my house. There isn't anything that's not organized. I mean, my husband would probably complain that my Tetris skills with my camera/computer drawer is lacking, but seriously, there is no chance that there is anywhere to misplace random homework.
I have one "junk" drawer. It's quite neatly organized.
I'm not sure what happened, but I guess if I'm holding myself to a higher standard, that's a good thing. On that note, I really must be getting back to cleaning up. I still need to fix the bathroom after the whirlwind of 5 people getting ready for family portraits blew through.
I'll leave you with what I told my husband last night. I think it sums up who I am these days perfectly.

It's worth noting here that the temperature has dropped into the 30's & 40's and Max was pretty sure he was walking out of the house in board shorts, a t-shirt & a scarf. That held me up for a little longer than usual.So my own rule of "RINSE IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!" got thrown right out the window and I find myself at my sink scrubbing at some dried baby swiss on the knife. I'm a little bent out of shape with myself.

Another note: Yesterday I made Kris some Crunch Berries Marshmallow Treats.It comes pretty suddenly to me that as much as I complain about Kris' need for perfection, I do find myself more and more with an urge to don an apron and flit about the house whilst I listen to music. Occasionally taking a time out for some Rock Band or Guitar Hero.
