A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Garage....

So, really I was going to work on the garage last week. Seriously. I haven't quit on you!! But...I had a baby with a double eye infection AND a double ear infection. He didn't sleep for the better part of a week. Yawn. I am still in a haze. So, I felt guilty and decided to mega clean the garage for an hour and a half yesterday! I flung open the door and ushered out the dust and spiders and bad air! It was glorious! I folded up boxes and tied them with string. I gathered items for garage sales into one pile. I swept the floor and moved furniture and did all that fabulous stuff! I even hung up the bird feeder! It was a banner day in the Mills household! Yippee it is spring!

Into ones life a little bug must fall....

I have a cold. I have a nose drippin', eyes waterin', up-all-night coughin' kinda cold. I have not cleaned much in the past week. I pick up balled up tissues about 500 times a day (I am not the only one in the family with this cold) and spray stuff with lysol, but that is about it. My daughter coughed herself awake dozens of times a night this past week and when she wasn't awake, my son was. It was one of those weeks.
Interesting story. My daughter was feeling okay on Tuesday. She hadn't slept much but seemed alright. So we took her to school.... probably not the best idea-but you have to understand-we hadn't slept either. When Greg went to pick her up, he was called into the classroom and handed a note. It read, "I wrote on my face and shirt, I'm sorry. Love Adia". Yup, we should have kept her home. But, the happy face on her shirt was quite cheerful!
Anyways-it is a lovely day! I think I will swing open the garage door and usher the spiders out and into the wild! Then I can continue my journey.

Spiders....ewww.

So, I was cleaning in the garage yesterday, and happily seeing that I was nearing the home stretch! I came across a stack of shoe boxes left from something Greg was doing for work. I decided that I would flatten the boxes and put them in the recycling bin. As I began I saw something black on the box I was holding. It was about the size of a dime. Then, it moved. It was a spider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH. So, I dropped that box, did the eww a spider dance (hard to describe) and moved on to another box. There was a spider on that one too. I looked down and there were two more on boxes waiting for me. I then not-so-calmly dropped the box I was holding and ran out of the garage. I think I should make more Banana bread. Cleaning is stressful.
