seahorse,  with the yoga. I wanted to start doing some type of yoga or pilates, but I can't keep up with all the new habits I am trying to add!  ta-da: Took a break and went to the local greenhouse for their poinsettia show.    They give away free popcorn and hotdogs with homemade sauerkraut and relish. Yummy... and 15,000 poinsettias on display. When I got home I did some more tidying up. Found some hairballs that the cat hacked up. She has been sleeping on my pile of quilting fabric, which is not good since she is a long-haired dark haired cat, and some of my fabric is now coated with a layer of dark cat hair. (She doesn't sleep in the bed I made for her. unfortunately.) to-do: More tidying up Prepare food for this week's work meals. Check on chickens, food water, collect egg. (Yes, EGG, singular...I only have one hen that has been laying) A coworker wants to buy my old sewing machine from me. It needs to be tidied up, and I need to collect all the attachments, etc.

done: -3/4 filled trash can w stuff from the garage -cleared rug in living area -vacuumed rug Todo: -empty vacuum. -continue sorting crafty items -finish filling trash can, and take to the street I looked for a new vacuum on Amazon, but decided to stay with this one. It does very well on low nap rugs, even though it's hard to work on the deeper carpet. |

Ta-da's: Did more tidying up in the kitchen/dining area. Threw an old fleece robe that belonged to my daughter 20 years ago over the area where the cat has been choosing to sleep, and last I looked, it appears that the cat is sleeping on it. That will be easy to clean at least. Worked on more cabinet doors and hardware. I have figured out what I still need to purchase to finish the job. (the pulls/handles come in 3 different sizes, and then there is a matching knob and initially I wasn't sure which size handle would look best where. Did food prep for work over the next few days. Showered, wiped down shower walls, and then got ready for bed. to-do: Go to sleep...  |

All of those got turned into ta-das but I lay my littles down for a nap after lunch and accidentally fell asleep. And it threw the rest of my day off. 🤦 Todays TA-DAs so far Washed and dried bedding Fixed breakfast for littles Packed lunches for littles Got 3 littles off to school Ate breakfast Read a devotional Listened to Christmas Music and Drank a Caramel Apple Cider.  Remake bed Clear table from breakfast Get dressed Get baby little dressed and hair fixed
