Konmarie: Variations on a Theme

After my chiropractic adjustment this morning, I felt terrific. I was scared that the feeling would go away, so I feverishly went through the rooms and drawers of my house searching for items to throw away. We’re doing a loose interpretation of the Konmarie method over here these days. Forget categories–I am now just aiming for volume. I.e., how many trash bags can I fill today???

And the other labors of the day:

Last night before bed we read Curious George Makes Pancakes. I made "Curious George" pancakes for breakfast, and Lydia seemed excited.

But these flowers turned out alright. Lydia wistfully talked about how many flowers we used to have at the old house, but as we hunted around this morning, we discovered that we had more rose bushes here than we realized.

Lydia wrote a thank-you note to her teacher and insisted on glueing the beads from her broken bracelet to it for decoration. I thought it looked really pretty.

The chiropractor's office gave the girls balloons, and after we came home Mary was so excited she danced around it.
