The rest of my day was incredibly productive as well! I am so excited and proud of myself. For those of you who don't know me, and even those of you who might, I think tonight was the first time since we moved into the house 3 years ago that I have cleaned like I have. I mean, never, ever before has my house been clean like this...I still have to vaccuum and sweep/mop the kitchen but everything else is done.
I scrubbed the toliets and shower and bath tub and sinks.
I dusted EVERYTHING in the entire house (even the vents and fans and lights and everything)
I sorted all the clothes and socks (this took forever)
I took down ALL of my crosses and hung them in different areas. I hung several new pictures and rearranged most of the old ones. I am ready for my NEW (Christmas present just getting here) family Portrait that will come home with Jeff.
**I went to Hobby Lobby and got new frames for some SWEET pictures that we had taken of the kids over Thanksgiving...that was fun
The house smells good!
I went to the mall tonight too and I found a great sale at Dillards! I got 6 pairs of shoes (one for me, 2 for Jackson and 2 for Creighton , and a present for a baby) for only $65.22. The brands were Merrell, Stride Rite, Converse, Timberland, Kenneth Cole, and Michelle D (I have no idea what Michelle D was but my shoes were originally 70 and I got them for 17)! That was incredibly exciting!
I spent some time with one of my small group girls and that was awesome...we just chatted while she worked (at the mall)...it was good!
I talked to an old camper (Hi, Lauren) for awhile while I was eating dinner and that was great talking with her!
Today was a great day...I am thoroughly exhausted though and I never did take a nap. I purposely didn't have caffiene though today so I hope I sleep well tonight. The kids and my sweet hubby will be home tomorrow and I want to be ready for them! I have to work the nursery tomorrow during second service and since its past 1a I will probably not be making it to first service...oh well...
Ladies (and gents?) this weekend has been fabulous! I can't explain what it has done for my soul, my spirit, my life. It was so rewarding and I even worked really hard at the same time. I love being productive and achieving goals and making lists and getting them completed...I hardly ever do that on my own with the kids/Jeff at home. I hope I will take this energy and be able to do some of this when they return and make it a habit...(seriously some of my "dust bunnies" had legs and were hopping away)....
I learned a bit about myself this weekend and that is always nice too! Relfection time is so good. I didn't read at all, which I thought I was going to but that's okay. I did some studying of scripture and some prayin' and that was nice. I didn't sleep nearly as much as I thought I would...imagine that?!
Going to bed, cause I can tell I am tired...ramble ramble
I can totally relate!!! I love making lists, completing them, and feeling that sense of accomplishment. I did the same thing this weekend...cleaned a ton - in a very short time because I still had my little one here - so it was during nap. But it felt so good to walk around the house smelling the lemon-scent from mopping the kitchen floor. I'm glad you got a break and were able to accomplish what you wanted - that is very refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE when my house is clean. Too bad it is very seldom all clean at the same time. Usually the bathrooms get cleaned one day, the by the time I get around to dusting they are dirty, then once I vacuum things are dusty again and so on and so on. And my ceiling fan and vents have never been dusted since we have lived here and my, my I don't even want to look at them!
