"Uh oh"

So the baby is trying to talk.  She's not too interested in signing, but she's really trying to talk to us.  "Uh oh" is her favorite.  Her version sometimes sounds like "uh uh" and sometimes it's a sound that changes from high to low in intonation.  But it's cute.

Today I woke up with a headache, feeling tired and unmotivated.  And a little sad.  Once I got through WiiFit I was feeling a little better.  Then an ibuprofen and a cup of coffee made the day even brighter.  I decided to have a "catch-up" day.  There are some loose ends in school that I wanted to get through, so we did a little of that, and we'll do a little more after tea time.  That was it for school today.  I spent the extra time trying to catch up on cleaning.  Our weekend was busy so there was a lot left undone.  Right now I'm going through a pile of papers and mail, trying to put it all away somewhere.  That's probably one of my least favorite chores, but it is nice to have all the little piles gone from the surfaces of my living room.  

Tomorrow my goal is to get through the huge pile of stuff in the baby's room.  I recently went through the kids toys and told them to each fill a basket of the stuff they wanted to keep, and the rest was to be put away somewhere.  Unfortunately the somewhere ended up being the baby's room, since I've been afraid of the attic since the dead squirrel thing.  But we finally took care of the squirrel (woo hoo!) and now only need to bleach the floor up there.  In the meantime, another animal has moved in.  We can hear it at night.  Apparently the moth balls didn't deter him, as the landlord said.  And on top of it, I just read that the fumes from moth balls are pretty poisonous especially for children, and our house has smelled strongly of moth balls for a couple of weeks.  It's not as bad now.  I'm glad I had the windows open a lot.  But to get back to the point, tomorrow I need to figure out which of the toys to keep and put upstairs, and which to toss/donate.  I'll let you know how it goes!
