Post Christmas Blues? Try an Early Spring Cleaning.

"Whadda mean I wasn't supposed to open it to get the squeaky out??"

This pretty much represents our Christmas. 
Toys opened beyond the basic paper.  Polyester guts strewn all over the floor. 

Mr. Kato Kitty got the munchies when he was stoned on cat nip.  Of course, I figured that it would be a good way to go considering he's a well-aged kitty cat.

My children, the old one (46) and the young one (10) argued, fought, and worked together playing the new Wii games. 

I 'tested' my new Keurig coffee system and drank more coffee in two days than any normal person has a need, while downloading books on my new Kindle.

The 'raindeeer' was just because.

My daughter figured out how to use paint on the computer--by herself--mind you, and created these works of art. 

  

For Daddy



For Mom

For Santa



Personally, I love and hate this post-Christmas season.  The house is a mess with stuff strewn everywhere--and this isn't counting the critter guts that Maggie left all over the house.  Dust gathers on every available surface.

But this is also a good time of year to clean out the house, remove the unused items and donate them. This is when I do my 'spring cleaning'. 

It's a mental spring cleaning along with the physical one.  Remove all the bad or non-productive stuff from the previous year and start the new year bright and fresh with a clean slate.

Instead of post-Christmas letdown think of this time of year as a pre-New Year readjustment to your life.

Peace out!  And can someone lend me a hand to pick up some Panda guts?
