The holidays are over.
The kids have gone back to school.
My husband has gone back to work.
Extended family has returned to whence they came (with sighs of relief,
I think). I am left here amidst
the wreckage that once was our home. Knowing that it may take hours to return the
house to its previous splendor, I began the ritual of post-holiday cleaning
with vigour.
First, I polished
off all of the left over christmas chocolate.
After that was complete, I cleaned out the cookie jar and
then washed those cookies down with a glass of eggnog (and Bacardi).
With the tree down, and the vacuuming complete, any presents
left unattended were re-wrapped and hidden for next year!
Once the counters gleamed, the floors shone and the dishes
were all put away, there was one last task to do. I drained the left
over wine bottles.
Now I fink I go van the clean. (hiccup)
