A Young Wife’s Tale

Well, this month was certainly interesting. BEFORE I found out we were moving to New Jersey I did this:

I went through my nightstand and got rid of:

2 piano music books that I never use
1 Benadryl topical stick that expired in 2008
5 pages/scraps that I’d torn out of magazines but never needed. One was on the new standards for alcoholism. It really was interesting how very little you have to drink to be considered an alcoholic. But I don’t know who I thought I was saving it for. David and I don’t drink.
1 spiral notebook on which I’d tried to write a story. It was terrible.

Homemaking Tip for this week:
I don’t know if this helps other women, but I make deals with myself. I’ll find a girly movie I want to watch, and then I can only watch it while I’m ironing. Or I can have a piece of cake after I clean the shower. Sometimes if I’m in the middle of a good book, I’ll read a chapter, clean a bathroom, read a chapter, and vacuum a room.
