Just a more calm serene time of yr.

With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over. I just think I would like to be a bear and hibernate for two months. The dust bunnies they can play among themselves. They can wait until spring. If I feel I need to purge and I am a little too tired to do it. I just watch the show Hoarders and then I get up and really start throwing stuff out. I’m retired so I can take my time.  I like the comfort food of the winter months when Spring comes I can not fit in my jeans. So then I have to go on a diet. When March arrives the clocks change. Time to get ready for the garden and lose that weight so I can bend over. Then comes Christmas in July with QVC. Then in October QVC is knocking at the door with gifts and presents that we all can’t live without. So the cycle starts all over again. I’m tired just reading this.      

                                        Happy New Year everyone!!

@Carmie  My husband helped with housework especially when we were having company.  He would clean the bathrooms, mop, vacuum.  He always was the window washer too.  He also kept up the cars and washed them.  I was lucky.

Thanks for the laugh. My husband would no more clean , wash, spray, shake a rug, wash a window then I would change a tire.

I see the men nowdays taking care of their babies in the stores, changing diapers, feeding, etc.  I saw a man in walmart one day buying feminine products for whomever. I thought "do men do that nowdays"?

Generational, is what I think it is.  

Thanks for the laugh, though.

Maybe. But more likely not.   Lots of men my age share duties etc.  But this is nothing new to me.  MY father helped a lot.  And he was frequently sent to the store for feminine products.

Just different type of men. Never said I was married to a prince LOL

His Father never cleaned up after self either, so, it was learned.

Mine doesn't think it's a mens job to do housework, etc.

He always earned the bread and I was expected to bake it I guess.

I can see me hiring a girl in the future if I could find one that I could trust.

Don't look at January/February as dark and cold...if it were sunny and warm the last thing we would want to do is clean out closets and organize. We have had the Winter Solstice on December 21st so each day now we are gaining daylight on our way to summer.

But, in truth, a lot of people are affected by SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder.  I love a lot of things about winter but after awhile, the lack of light gets to me, too.

March stinks too.

Hi @faeriemoon

 You sound like me, March is kind of the last straw, I really start getting antsy.  Are you familiar with Seasonal Affective Disorder?

LOVE January and February!  Beautiful sweaters, coats and scarves not to mention leather boots.  Bright jewel tones.

Hot chocolate and snow.

Spagetti, homemade soups, or roasts with vegetables.

@Noel7 I am.  I have always confused it with Peesed Off Faerie Disorder.
