JANUARY WAS THE MOST RELAXING MONTH

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

As we enter Feb., I am thinking about the no “to do” lists of Jan. There are no holidays in Jan. No gifts lists, nothing to buy or wrap. No trips to the card store unless your family has birthdays in January. There are no lawns to mow, my roses and other flowering shrubs are cut back to sticks..nothing to do there. Outside chores like painting the porch rockers, planting the window boxes? Too cold and can wait until spring.

I think the only thing I need to remember is filling the bird feeder.

I agree that Jan and Feb and even March for us are some welcomed down time outdoors, but January in particular is a huge month for purging and spring cleaning here.

I ache all over after washing walls, all the curtains, all the bed linens, windows etc. Just finished last night at 3:30 am as I was in the middle of the last leg of it all, and was determined not to stop till it was finished!

I think I will try to make February MY most relaxing month!

You are my mother's kind of woman. She was so immaculate, and I remember many times she would tell me how she was tired because she was washing walls.

Unfortunately, I don't have her standards or her energy. But her standards are always there haunting me. I know sometimes I will look at something that needs cleaning (like the oven) and just say to myself "Mommy would be so disgusted."

Many states have snow and ice issues all winter--not everyone can relax.

January was a stay inside month for me. It was quite cold and with so many reports of the flu, I didn't go out much. February will be the month I try to spend as little as possible. Will use our gift cards from Christmas to buy gas, groceries and dine out.
