    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Please do not shatter my illusions, you live in a flylady utopia where the kids act in concert to your barked orders like a well choreographed family from the Sound of Music, with whistles and everything...:p (was going to put oompa loompas but realised that might have been misconstrued and you are all far too good looking :D)

    Did manage to get most of the list done yesterday before the visitors arrived, will be back with a listy update in a minute before I head off on a couple of HHCs starting at 9am if anyone is game?

    Nice, was hoping for bedroom today - it doesn't need too much but there is packing I need to do in there. Also planning to blitz the kitchen this week anyway and start clearing things out for the move. I took my foot off for a bit as far as packing goes because we had our move date put back and suddenly, we're under 3 weeks to move again so I'm back to having a panic!

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
