Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, I was going to clean my
house today! It’s not that it was filthy
per se. I just had this intense desire
to scrub everything down. I wanted to
dust all the baseboards and wood trim. I
wanted to polish the floors. I wanted to
clean out all of the dressers and closets of summer clothes and restock with
fall clothes. I wanted everything to be
extremely clean and organized.
I probably have an illness.
But this was the one thing on my "must do" list while on vacation.
The weather could not have been better for some house
cleaning. It was raining this morning
and overcast all day, but the temperatures were still warm. I was able to open up some windows, blast
some music and work, work, work.
I’m happy with the way my body feels after a good scrubbing! I’m happy with the way my house looks and
smells! I’m happy with being able to
open up dresser drawers and closets again without them overflowing! I’m happy with the selection of clothes the kids
have for the fall! Cleaning makes me
happy!
And what makes me even happier is that I got all of this accomplished
before 2pm. I inadvertently scheduled my
vacation during the same week I had scheduled the kids dentist appointments,
which I guess worked out pretty well for my employer. I also assume that it takes a special kind of
stupid to not only be excited about spending a day of vacation cleaning but to
also take four kids to the dentist during vacation.
Their appointments went well.
Grace and Eva have good teeth but Alex and Layla are much more susceptible
to cavities. Although neither one of
them require fillings, they do need to take extra special care of their teeth. The parenting schedule had them with their
dad tonight, so after their appointments, I dropped them off there.
Randomly this afternoon, I got message from a friend that lives in
North Carolina. They happened to be
working in St. Louis this week. So, since
this opportunity doesn’t come along that often, I met up with them tonight for a
few drinks. It was a lot of fun and I
really enjoyed catching up with them!
Another great vacation day in the books!
