My Final Four

March Madness is giving way to the final showdown in college basketball and this fine spring weekend I will be engaging in my own final four- the final four boxes on my back porch.

Since we moved a year and a half ago, I’ve been rearranging and stepping around the same four boxes of crap on my back porch. It happens whenever you move, inevitably there are boxes filled with miscellanea; items that defy categorization and don’t merit a padded box of their own that, nonetheless, must accompany you where ever you go. Personally, I was surprised my husband and I only had four such boxes to move. But now, since the weather is warmer and the days are longer, it’s time to tackle the junk and go to the final four.

My game plan is just to keep my head down, dig deep and stay focused. With a little help from above I hope that all my hard work pays off, and the back porch gets clean. I’ve got some good experience emptying boxes and I’ll be looking to my husband for help when I don’t know if I should throw something out or not. I just want to thank my mom for teaching me about spring cleaning. This Final Four is for you Mom!
