- That a double stroller really doesn’t fit very well, if at all, in a Honda Accord. And it barely fits in a Toyota Camry. And they call them “family sedans”. Ha.
- That curtains that have to be ironed before they are hung up are of the devil. The devil, I tell you.
- That my house may not have curtains. (See above point.)
- Just kidding, I’ll totally have window treatments, but you bet they’ll be permanent press!
- I can’t wait to have a house!
- All this cleaning and organizing has not made me leery of having my own place, instead it has made me more ready to be doing this for myself.
- I’m eager to try using green cleaning products.
- I have a very different cleaning/organizing style than my mom, and that causes some cleaning clashes.
- That I’m going to (strive to) take on the cleaning in my own house in a much different way than what I grew up with. I mentioned as much to my mom last night, who actually started laughing at me. HA!
- That I miss cooking on a regular basis. And that I enjoy planning multiple meals at once, versus this one meal here and there I’ve got going on now.
- While going through all sorts of old papers and notes, I found two handwritten notes from my maternal grandmother (who I was very close to, and who died 13 years ago) to my paternal grandmother (who I am also close to, and is still living). Everything from the handwriting to her sense of humor, and just the fact that she took the time to write those notes made me think all the more that she is the kind of woman that I want to be like. And so there I sat, all alone in the house, in my room, that doesn’t really feel like mine anymore, sunlight streaming in, surrounded by old school papers, a stack of papers for the recycling bin that was terrificly tall, struggling not to cry.
Well, it’s time to finish tackling the last few cleaning projects of the day, as well as finish up figuring what on earth I’m cooking for a nice dinner tonight.
