The Ides of March

March 15th.....the day marked as the Ides of March. It is supposed to be a day of foreboding....however, all I really felt "forewarned" about today was the laundry! I was reminded that if it didn't get done, there wouldn't be any clean clothes to wear to work tomorrow. So another fun day of laundry and getting ready for another week of work. Normally, laundry gets done during the week and on Saturdays, but this week was different....there was more construction going on in our house, so I wasn't able to get to the laundry this week at all. But the mess was worth the wait, because now we have a new bathroom floor to wake up to each morning. Little by little, the whole house has been renovated, added on to, and redecorated in more ways than one. Owning a home is a constant labor of love, and there are many unexpected surprises that we have encountered along the way. I'm just glad the suprises were nothing compared to the surprise Julius Caesar encountered on that fateful Ides of March 2,050 years ago!
