Teaholic not quite anonymous

The clutter in this house is driving me insane today. I don't know what it is about today, but we normally have a little bit of clutter laying around (besides baby toys) but not too bad. TODAY, it is driving me nuts. I've walked around cleaning up a room at a time, but even then I don't know where to put everything. Of course, then my brain moves into, "If I cleaned out this cabinet or that cabinet, I'd be able to put this in there. Then I'll need to call Goodwill to come get what we don't need." And before I know it I'm overhauling the entire house. I DON'T want to do that (although it does need that). Matt is breathing a sigh of relief, I can hear him. :)

I've made my list. (Uh-oh, Matt's thinking, a list? Never good.) So I have a lot I want to accomplish this weekend around here. I highly doubt it will all get done, but at least some of it can.

At last count, I have 270 teabags. That is not counting the very large canisters of loose tea I have as well. I would say I definitely have enough tea to last me all of 2007 if I drink one cup of tea a day. I may finish early if I drink more than one cup which I do on occasion. So I guess I have my work cut out for me on that resolution! No more buying tea for a year! That's ok though, since I love all the kinds I have now.

I didn't work out this nap cycle because Maddy was making a lot of noise at the beginning of it--lots of sighing and snuggling her teddy bear. There's nothing I can't stand more than being interrupted in the middle of a work out. It really sets a bad tone for the rest of the day. Plus, it doesn't allow me to get a shower. There's nothing I want more after a good work out than a shower! So I will work out her second nap.

She slept very poorly at the beginning of last night. She woke up three times between 8:30 and 11:15. Matt and I stayed up later so we didn't get woken up by it, but she finally did sleep through the night at 11:30ish. She woke up late this morning, 8:30! It was nice to sleep in that long!

Last night I had a very enjoyable time making a beaded elastic band for my 'new' Ipod (Matt's old Ipod). It took me about 25 minutes or so, but it was nice to get away into the bedroom, shut the door and focus on something for a while and just relax. It's cute, I must say. But, I'm not sure I'll be able to use it since this Ipod may have a battery issue as well. We charged it all night last night and this morning it said it was fully charged. So I'm leaving it lay unplugged today without playing music to see if it loses its battery charge. I didn't use it at all for 2 days and it was DEAD on battery. But I'm not sure I completely charged it before that. So we'll see what happens today.

Well, Maddy's up! Gotta run!
