Our neighbor came in clutch on Tuesday with that great last day of spring break idea, inviting us to go swimming with them at a nearby place where they are members.  Needless to say Avery loved getting to swim, especially with one of the neighbor friends that she plays with often.

The rest of the week went fast. I ended up only taking 1.5 hours off earlier this week once everything totaled up for the week, so I'm going to need to take more time off before the end of June.  I wish I thought I could plan ahead and somehow pick a day I will be motivated.  Today was one of those days.  When I took a small lunch break I started pulling things from one of the kitchen cabinets.  Clutter just builds to the point of insanity for me.  Add a little here, add a little there.  Eventually the cabinet is embarrassing and you can't find anything.

After work I started putting things back into that cabinet and throwing away some things that were past date or likely to not get eaten.  I wanted to rearrange a bit, moving some things to the lower shelf so Avery can reach them.  This spurred me to pull two more shelves from another cabinet and then that spread to the one lower cabinet where I had previously set up some snacks that Avery could get out for herself.

While I now have three cabinets that are cleared out and tidy I also have a couple of bags of things to go back to the basement shelves -- the basement is a whole other level of chaos that needs some attention.  Heck how many other spaces here need that level of attention, who am I kidding?
