A day on, not a day off!

Well as most of the world knows...today was the MLK holiday. Growing up in Atlanta, the home of Dr. King, we were forever inundated with the call to serve others on this day. Hence the quote, "A day on, not a day off." However, being here in El Paso, I don't know if anyone celebrated the day really. This a huge Hispanic community so I'm thinking (my own opinion) that they are really not concerned about MLK since he was fighting for the injustice against black people.

Anyway, I digress. My day off was pretty good. It was one of those days where I didn't even change out of my pajamas. I don't get those too often but when I do, I take full advantage. Now of course, I had a long list of things in my head that needed to get done. Though we got a 4 day wknd, Friday was spent shopping for house wares and putting them together. Saturday was the post office for over an hour, new member's class and then Cattleman's Restaurant. Sunday, church of course and then fellowship with the Saints. So that left Monday for to get the house ready for the week.

Laundry needed to be put up, boxes to be mailed, more boxes emptied and thrown away, kitchen organized and clean, bathrooms cleaned, etc. My lovely husband, God bless him, decided to wash clothes a couple of weeks ago. 6 or 7 loads he did but he failed to get them from the laundry room to their destination. Love that he tried to help, hate that it didn't go all the way through. I usually wash only on the wknd and only that what I know I can put up. Or if I do have to wash during the week, I try to keep it to 1 load because I don't want things to pile up like they were. But I got the clothes all washed and put up, a couple of boxes cleaned out and thrown away and the kitchen looking decent. I also got boxes that were supposed to go out for Christmas off. Sad, I know. I have really got to work on this procrastination thing. The bathrooms will have to wait. They aren't filthy but from experience, I know they can get their quick. I will overcome. In the meantime, I'm looking for a part-time maid.
