Today I did not have to go to work because it is Veteran's Day. Grandmomma offered to keep the kids last night so I accepted. This morning I slept until 8am, then I took Lily to preschool at 9, brought Sam back home with me, and then the cleaning frenzy began... I have cleaned all day, stopping only long enough to go pick Lily up from preschool at 1pm. Sam has played in his room and has had a blast because Lily wasn't here to interrupt him. I have washed every stitch of clothing in the house, changed my sheets, washed the bathroom and kitchen rugs. I mopped the entire downstairs, cleaned the bathrooms, vaccumed, & dusted. I cleaned out my closet, took all my summer stuff up to the attic, brought all my winter stuff down & put it in the closet. My house really needed this. My next strategy for keeping it clean is to come up with a weekly schedule where I do one major cleaning chore per day (ie. toilets, tubs, vaccuming, etc.). It is going to be hard because my weeks are so hectic, but with as much other stuff as I fit into my schedule, surely I can manage ONE chore per day. We'll see...
You're probably wondering how I am able to sit down and write this at 3 o'clock...well, I'm glad you asked. My prince is upstairs in his bed asleep & my princess fell out on the couch in her favorite princess outfit (high heels & all). She has been walking around with a Bob the Builder umbrella pretending it is raining for the past hour. It got quiet suddenly and I came through the living room only to find her half on/half off the couch. The umbrella and her baby were laying on the couch beside her. I swear, it's like she just collapsed into some enchanted slumber mid-step and was just lucky the couch was close enough to catch her. So, I decided to make the best of a quiet moment and take a little break.
Did I mention yet about Sam starting basketball? He went to his first practice on Saturday and he loved it. I think it is going to be a great thing for him. I have tried to get him interested in playing sports but he has thus far been happy to stay home and play in the backyard. He brought the singup sheet home and asked to participate totally on his own. I guess this is the best way to do it because I know he is truly interested. I can't wait to see him in his little uniform. By the way, speaking of cuteness, his teeth are coming in now. I have throroughly enjoyed his snaggle-tooth days.
OK, I need to run get a couple of other things done before the crew wakes up.
