Basketball Season Starts
I didn’t get as much done as I wanted over the long weekend, since I had a killer migraine that started on Thursday and lasted until Tuesday afternoon. Still, I did get the boys room, the kitchen and laundry room, and the bathrooms completely clean (as in, pulling out the furniture and dusting / vacuuming behind […]
