this spring fever better hurry up and leave me I tell ya! I may actually loose weight I've been cleaning so much. I tackled the kitchen today. Oh vey! Scrubbed walls, changed curtains, cleaned windows, the whole 9 yards, PLUS supper is in the oven cooking away. Oh and I mopped everything except the school room and bedrooms. Can I please quit now and sew? Tomorrow I want to make bread, and covers for our lamps at the bed, and take off the trash, clean the bedroom......just a few things. If I DON'T loose weight then i think we just have to accept that I'm gonna be fluffy the rest of my life!

CloverPatch 03-07-2011 02:32 PM

You need to send me some of your energy! Inlaws coming in 2 days, my house is a wreck.

dutchie 03-07-2011 02:33 PM

I'm in shape too! Round IS a shape, yanno! LOL - congrats on a clean and shiny kitchen. Food always tastes better when cooked in a clean kitchen.

If you don't lose weight, then you can come to my house and do what you just did to yours...:)

It's always cleaning time come spring, can't open windows though, tooo much tree pollen, everything is budding out overnight it seems. had allergies for 10 days, no fun and no energy either.

SuziC 03-07-2011 03:22 PM

I envy you. This cabin fever is depressing the ____out of me!
I am sick of the cold and the snow. I NEED sunshine and warm temps. Sorry, just venting

Oh my! Mine are not short notice. I knew there were coming, there are going to be here so I can have my knee surgery. But they never like to say WHEN they'll show up. So I found out last night, they are on the way and will be here no later than Wednesday, possibly tomorrow. Ofcourse I won't know if its tomorrow till they knock on the door :roll: Lots of cleaning tomorrow!

I am so with you! We woke up to snow showers this morning. Nothing stuck, but just seeing it and being SO COLD reminded me it's still winter :( I so want to open the windows and air out the house.

bkb 03-07-2011 03:53 PM

will you guys call animal control on me if I kill the dust gorillas in my house?

scowlkat 03-07-2011 04:15 PM

Please, please, please don't pass that cleaning bug on to me! So far I have resisted it at every turn. I love my little dust bunnies - they love to watch me sew!

Hope2quilt 03-07-2011 04:16 PM

I am a lot happier fluffy than I was skinny. :)

This is exactly how I feel about spring cleaning!

ginnie6 03-08-2011 04:24 AM

and grrr! work my backside off yesterday, get up and go to make my coffee this morning, just knowing I'm walking into a nice clean kitchen and what do I find? DIRTY DISHES everywhere! Seems oldest dd decided to cook for the week and left her mess for me. I swear that kitchen door is getting a lock on it. Once I go to bed they are outta luck getting there. Did I mention i might start going to bed at 8 pm too :-)

frauhahn 03-08-2011 05:02 AM

I think I need to catch a little of that spring fever. . .

jeannie t 03-08-2011 06:43 AM

It seems like I'm always either spring cleaning or fall cleaning .our home is on the market so I have to keep it tidy and clean Ugh!!!! I am tired of feeling like I'm living in a fish bowl we don't get much notice before a house showing ,

mhansen6 03-08-2011 07:52 AM

I am Fluffy too, but my doctor told me to loose the fluff or my high blood pressure will go through the roof.

jad1044 03-08-2011 08:08 AM

Me too! I can't wait for spring! I want to know the last chance of frost is past, and the houseplants go OUT! and I will clean, clean, clean - windows, curtains, walls - you name it - it gets it! I sure got a lot done already with just being irked by something not looking right - so dug into it to make it right! Long ways to go till it is all done - including the closets; and get DH to try on clothes - me too - what fits, stays, what does not, goes... We have way too much clutter - those days of "maybe I'll grow into it" - is GONE!!! :-D

Abby'smom 03-08-2011 08:27 AM

what inspiration -- I need to clean, dust and Abby hair (how can a shorthaired labby shed so much and still have so much left?) and organize -- but I would rather read QB and do quilty things

I need to go take a nap from reading all you have done. I wish I had your energy. And if you stay fluffy, at least the house is in great shape.

julie 03-08-2011 09:33 AM

I am so ready to start my spring cleaning, but I've been working 6-7 days a week, 9-10 hour days. It's all I can do to get up in the morning! Grrr!

Have you put a St Joseph statue in the front yard yet? It will bring you luck in selling the house. Bury him upside down facing the street. There is supposed to be a paryer you say, but I do not know it and never used it, but did sell 2 houses with this method. Good luck.

Lv2sew2011 03-08-2011 09:45 AM

Could use some of that energy too! With the pain med, I just don't have anything at all, and my house needs a good cleaning, yesterday I did clean up my sewing mess and the kitchen and dinning area after all thats where my mess is...LOL

PATTIESPEARL 03-08-2011 10:12 AM

Oh, Ginny6, I have the other type of spring fever, would you send me some of your kind? I might be able to do something then!!

Ramona Byrd 03-08-2011 10:27 AM

Do you do house calls? My place sure needs some of that work done, but my sewing machine is calling me..hum..humm. hummm

donnalynett 03-08-2011 10:53 AM

I always try to force myself to clean "something" once a day before I sit down to sew.....I don't feel quite as guilty that way!

decky 03-08-2011 11:32 AM

I think I'm the dough boys sister. When your done cleaning your place how about coming to mine and doing the same thing

Sandra-P 03-08-2011 05:35 PM

Ginnie, you are so funny. We fluffy gals are alright!

grmamrtha1 03-08-2011 06:41 PM

If I send you the air fare and my address, would you come clean my house, bake bread here, and make supper too?
