Heading Back to Work!

Here it is Tuesday night and I just finished balancing the checkbook and need to straighten up a bit before heading off to bed.  Took a bunch of stuff over to "Purple Heart" and "Women's Shelter."  I absolutely love de-cluttering my house.  I didn't get as much done over these few days off as I wanted to.  Cleaning and re-organizing takes a lot of hours.  I really want to go through my entire house before the new year sets in so I can clean my house without having to move so much junk around.  The good thing about keeping busy like this is, I DON'T THINK ABOUT FOOD!  Therefore, I don't eat as much either.  Wayne is flying home tomorrow and will be so exhausted after being overseas and traveling so long.  It will be great to have him home again.  I am stressing because I want everything to look so cleaned up and yet, I have dealt with those type of feelings so much, especially when we are about to go on vacation.  I always want to have everything perfect before I leave.  I watched Julie/Julia last night and realized that even in a cluttered small apartment over a pizzeria, Julie was happy inviting friends over to share a nice dinner and by all means her home wasn't perfect.  Why is it that I feel that I need to have everything so perfect in order to entertain?  It drives me insane......I have to work on that!  Wow, I am skipping all over the place with this blog tonight.  Have to head back to work tomorrow and for the next 4 days.  Night! Night!
