I have been a little over zealous about cleaning the house the last couple days. After painting Middle's room, I realized the rest of the house looked like a homeless camp. Though I wasn't ambitious enough to get more painting done (will do that Fri while Husband is at mooooreeeee basketball games...), I did make a HUGE effort to wipe down each and every surface with some lemon scented Spic and Span. I washed down walls, all the kitchen cabinets, appliances, doors, the kids. You name it, I think it came in contact with some Spic and Span.
And I have to say, it looks pretty darn good. And I should not wait 8 years to wipe down the kitchen cabinets. Gross.
There is some vacuuming left to do tomorrow (darn you fuzzy black dog!) and I will probably do some laundry, though I am hoping to get that done tonight. I am really excited for tomorrow, more than usual as it is supposed to be GORGEOUS here in Central OH. We cleaned off the front porch today so there should be some good times of sitting, drinking and watching the kids. Or just sitting and drinking, the kids can take care of themselves!!
My mom would be so proud to know I even put place mats on the table. This is monumental in our house as we use the kitchen table as a homework space and a place for the Sunday paper to sit until it is Trash Day.
I am most looking forward to seeing my Brother and his family. They are doing some really great things with their careers and I can't wait to hear about it. It is really fun when people you love take risks and are successful. Small business America, that's where it's at.
Of course I am excited about the food, too!! We are pretty simple when it comes to everything, but even corn seems to taste better on Thanksgiving. Turkey on the charcoal grill: forget about it. To die for!
It will all be over too quickly for me and then the reality of basketball tournaments and painting will invade my life once more. Poo.
But for one glorious day, I will be so Thankful that all I have to think about is good food and family. And hopefully lots of leftovers!!
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!! Oh yeah, and GO BUCKS!!
