If no one else was in the house, I'd be totally down with that! Crank some tunes! Dance & sing with 80s hits while I work. No interruptions like, "Mom, where is my XXXX?" "Did you see that sound card that I laid on the dining room table in March?" "I need the partner to this plaid sock. Like right now!!!"
But no. Long about 3pm I remembered that it's Thursday. The county fair starts this weekend and the talent show portion of it was last night. None of my kids were in it, BUT Ryan had been asked to man the sound booth. He enjoys helping them out when he can. He always liked the fair.
His last year in 4H, he'd entered to be the fair king. They typically only have a queen... But the year before, a young man who he knew had entered and the rules didn't say anything about not letting him enter. So I helped him get his paperwork together and a good senior pic found. But when he went to turn them in, they said that the rules had changed since the previous year. Too many people confused by the king/queen roles...
Oh well. So that July they asked him to be the announcer for the Fair Queen candidates when the fashion show was held, just a week or two before fair time. And to show that they still loved him, the ladies in charge made him a "king" hat! Embellished Burger King hat, and he still has it.
So anyway, since we would be Ryan's ride last night, we attended the talent show, enjoyed ice cream sundaes and chased Leon around as he waved and "talked" with just about everyone there. It was fun.
I took the opportunity to get some housework done this morning and may do a little more deep cleaning over lunch. Got a lot of things that need to go elsewhere.
Yeah... can just get rid of things currently...

That's a fun story to tell Leon one day. I'm having my deep cleaning day today while Ethan goes to a friend's house and Donnie works. Love those days when it's just me and the house. Here's to getting rid of things.
Cleaning, my favorite nightmare. But I learned years ago, you can't organize clutter. I think creative people (like programmers, like me)and people who sew, like me)have a tendency toward too much stuff and clutter. This makes it hard to keep anything organized and clean so we scatter and shove and never really get to the bottom. I just started to throw things away and give away. But don't give away Leon, I know he never makes any messes.
Granddaughter goes back to her mother on Monday. To keep myself from missing her, I plan to do my deep cleaning on Tuesday, unless hubby comes up with a better plan to keep my mind off of her :o(
Cleaning - GAH! We just got back from a road trip and I'm still unpacking lots of crap we didn't need to pack. Then onto house cleaning this week. The fun never ends ;-) Love that sweet pic of Ryan and Leon :-)
Deep cleaning-you wild woman!
