I agree with Hilary! So good to see a happier face.;) Enjoy your days off work, even if they are very busy, it is still a different kind of activity. xo
Stevie ~ when my sister was home more, she had a group of friends. They would gather at each other's house and clean like crazy. They'd all work together and have fun and laugh. I'd love to be there helping you. I'm sure that between the two of us, we'd cook up some fun while we were doing what needed done. (heh! Poetry...)
Glad to see that things are improving! Ah, the dreaded to-do list. Good luck with getting everything done! I would love to help if I did not live sooooooo far away! denise
Sorry, steviewren, my "to do" list numbers about twenty things since I was away so long in GA, trying to help my mom. But I'll be working right along with you! Let's see who finishes first!
We could always get Ratty to gather his little furry friends to help out. Ha.ha. Remember a bubble bath is needed after a to do list is finished. A little you time. Thank you for all your kind comments that you've left me and Ms.Kaydie. You always make me smile.

Who Said It First?
The phrase"a little birdie told me so" may find it's origins in this Bible verse. "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say" (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The earliest form of the saying was included in John Heywood's collection of proverbs (1546). In 1583, Brian Melbancke wrote in 'Philotimus'" 'I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.' In 1711, in 'Letter to Stella,' Jonathan Swift came close to the current version: 'I heard a little bird say so.'
There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, "It is just as I feared! - Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard!

Being home is usually better for me no matter what mood I'm in. LOL!! I'm such a home-body..
Here's to a better day..
If at the top of your list is some art time. This is what I need right now. ;) Even doing that Uber list will make you feel so productive.
I like that look of contentment on your face! Enjoy your day, my friend!
Have a wonderful 4 day weekend!
