You wouldn't think that cleaning house would provide opportunities for creativity, but you would be wrong, apparently. Yesterday Papa Bear had a minor (and highly justified) freak-out because our apartment was (was? is) a complete sty. Apparently my daily "wash dishes, do laundry" routine isn't enough to keep the place livable -which makes sense because it doesn't allow for, say, garbage or bathrooms or compost or clutter or...you get the idea.

Anyway, he started cleaning and I freaked out a bit at him and then we talked and I got motivated. And when Little Bear was napping in my lap I took a notebook and started drawing up Grand Organizational Plans. It was fun, motivating, and -I think- creative. All good things. Now, the problem with Grand Organizational Plans is that they have to be put into action, and did you ever notice how things get waaaaay messier before they get cleaner? Welcome to this week. Possibly longer than this week because I have a 5-month old to deal with too...a 5-month old only-napping-on-Mummy-er.

Ah well, no one said creativity was easy.

Gotta cut this short -Little Bear is awake and wondering why I'm ignoring him.
