I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I hope you got to spend some time with your families. Did you get over zealous and work on any challenges you didn't quite finish? I know I did. I didn't complete all of them, but I did work on some of them some more, and I made sure to spend plenty of time with my family. We spent a lot of time playing games (like Life, etc).
I got so busy this morning. I have had very little sleep again (I know I need to work on that), and so I went straight into what I needed to do. I got to working on our challenge today and realized that I hadn't posted our challenge, so that you can play along. In fact, I didn't get any blog posts or crafting done this weekend. I spent too much time playing with the kids. Oh well! I was in a ton of pain and didn't feel up to doing much else, plus I know that there will be a time where my kids won't want to spend any time with me. So, it all worked out.
Anyway, back to today's challenge, we are cleaning off end tables. End tables, are another one of those catchalls in the house. People sitting by them set things down, people walking by them sets things down, and no one hardly ever remembers to move it to where it belongs unless of course they are looking for it.
One end table, in my house in particular, got so bad that finally I just put a bowl there. Things get placed in it all the time and I try to get it cleaned out and put away regularly. That doesn't help all the papers that gets tossed on it, or books, or anything else, but all the little things are kind of contained. Well it has been a couple months since I cleaned that bowl out, and all of my end tables look to be buried under a mountain of junk mail, graded school papers, books, and little trinkets. So, it is time to get those cleaned off and resituated.
If you are one of those people, like me, who need to have lotion on hand at all times, as well as tissues (always need those with little people), get yourself a cute little basket or container to place those items in so they don't get lost and buried everytime someone places something else on the end table. Plus, you don't have to spend any money. You can shop your house. The bowl I leave on one of the end tables is just a regular breakfast bowl in a solid color. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to be practical and functional.
I can't wait to hear how you did with this challenge today!
