First off: It's Spread the Word to End the Word day. Read more here.
What started out yesterday as just going in to putty the middle boy's room (how many freaking thumb tack holes can one kid have? About a floppity-jillion), soon turned into spring cleaning his whole room. Closet cleaned out and clothes sorted for keep, rags, or donations. Everything dusted to within an inch of it's life. Furniture moved and swept under. Yeesh. Ewww. Ick. I didn't think it was that bad until I started moving things around and found: a glass behind his dresser ( I can't believe it hadn't broken!), half of a pop-tart under his desk (which the dog promptly ate out of the sweep pile) (did I men
tion ewwww?), and a book about bunnies circa 6 years old (
I know I've cleaned in the last 6 years, lol, where the heck did THAT come from??).
When it was all cleaned and reasonably shiny, I did finally get to puttying the holes. The walls are now more putty than wall. I got done just in
time to run out, clean the kitchen and do homework with the kids before starting dinner. Whew!
Last night's dinner was a new Chicken Parmesan recipe:
Under that tasty marinara and drizzle of garlic-cream sauce is a tasty chicken cutlet.
It was oh-so good! Best part was, this recipe only took about 20 minutes! No kidding! I will have this, the cod and hushpuppies recipes up sometime today.
On today's schedule: run to the store to pick up contact solution and peanut butter, color my gray roots (pesky varmints!), start patching the walls in our tiny entry way.
On the menu for today: Mustard Chicken and Veggie Salad
There is also a new journal prompt up today! Make sure to let me know if you create a blog post using one of the prompt statements (or create an art journal page or anything else!). I will link your post to the prompt so that others can visit and see what you created.
And make sure you tune in tomorrow, as I have a special review to share! You won't want to miss this one!

LOL!!! That's why I will NOT clean my daughters room until she moves out permanently. And, then, I will probably park a garbage dumpster under the window and just fling everything out, that way.
LOL! We did a huge clean each summer when our son went off to camp, and then again when he went off to college. Somehow, every time he comes home - even for a few minutes - the room once again looks like a tornado hit it. Drinking glasses behind the bed, antique banana peels under the bookshelf, clothes all over the floor. He's a marvel :)
Room cleaning is always a fun thing. I'm scared to even go in my sister's room, so I can't imagine trying to clean it.
That chicken looks good! Only 20 minutes? Sounds like the perfect dinner for a busy day.
Holy yummy on a plate. THAT looked delish!!!
Thanks so much for visiting me on my SITS day....making the rounds. Wish me luck.
