Don’t you just hate it when your boss asks you to come in early to finish up a project that “has” to be done by the next day at a certain time, only to find out that you won’t be working on that project. Then you end up cleaning shop instead because there is nothing important that needs to be done. Well that happened to my hunny today and he is not happy. They are actually already done for the day and he is on his way home as we speak. So now he get’s shorted hours that he would have had a full day because it would have been closer to quitting time and they would’t have left. Ugh!
Cleaning done
I have spent most of the day cleaning up after the holiday celebration. I even took down the Christmas tree a bit early. I just wanted it all done and out of the way this year. Usually I leave it up until after the new year, but not this time. I had the kids all help me and we got it done lickity split. It certainly made it much easier and I was able to pack everything away much more carefully then normal. Last year the kids were already back in school and when I took it down, I just tossed it in the boxes and had done with it. I promised myself that I would not do that this year and managed to keep my promise to myself. Woo Hoo! That makes me a very happy person. Hope everyone has a great day!
Cleaning today
I have been scouring the house today. I just finished with the bathrooms, which were in desperate need of a good cleaning. I have been so busy, that I have let a few things slide and have to make up for it today. That is no biggie though, I just want it done before Christmas vacation hits and the kids are home all day every day. Keeping up with it after that is going to be challenging enough, what with the holidays and such. Tomorrow I am going to get a bunch of the Christmas shopping done when my check comes in. After that, I will have to wait until next week to get the last minute stuff. At least I was able to pick up all of the stocking stuffers today. I really don’t think I need anything else for those. Honestly, I cannot wait for the Holiday’s to be over. I am impatiently waiting for the new year to begin. I hope that it will be better then this one has, because this one was not very good for anyone that I know.
Time to clean the carpets
The time has come to do some carpet cleaning. It has been a long while since I have had this done and the carpets are looking ragged. Kids have a tendency to track in everything under the sun and spill everything they hold in their hands. Mine are no different. I try to keep them from doing this with certain rules about removing muddy shoes or no carrying food into other rooms, but we all know how well that works. Pretty much not at all. I am considering cleaning them more often.
My carpets are not that old. I had them put in when I bought this house five years ago and they should last a long time. Keeping them cleaned will help with that. I am also going to have to be firmer with the kids about taking drinks into the living room. I have such a weak spot when it comes to them. I wonder if I should have to couches done as well? That might be a good idea, as they are a couple of spots on them from spills. Although those were not from the kids. Those happened when an outdoor BBQ got rained on and everyone had to move inside. Oh well, I will decide later on that.
Cleaning and laundry today
So I am cleaning the house and doing laundry today. I most of it already done and only a little more to go. Basically, just two loads of laundry to finish drying and fold to put away. I do have to vacuum my bedroom, but I am not in a big hurry for that. I can always do that tomorrow, so I will have something to do. Honestly, my kids are pretty clean around the house, and clean their own rooms. So I am pretty much good to go. I love my life.
The joys of school
I love it when the kids are back in school and the house is so quiet during the day. Blessed peace with only whatever music I decide to play. I can get so much more done when the kids are at school. On today’s cleaning menu is total fall cleaning. This includes the windows, walls and door frames to remove all finger, hand and face prints. Yes I said face prints…On the windows…all of them. lol
Busy busy busy
Today was such a busy day. After getting the children off to school, I had to get one of the boys prescriptions filled and then go to his school so he could take one of the pills. Then I came home and began the laundry and house work that had built up over the last few days. Swept and mopped the floors, cleaned the kitchen, dusted etc… Fortunately tomorrow will not be nearly as busy.
