  • Accomplishments - Part 2 - The conclusion for today

    Wow, I am really tired at this moment. I got the hall bath all cleaned up and sparkling. I have a few things in there to do, the finishing touches if you will, but I am leaving that for tomorrow. I cleaned the counters, the cabinets, the shower (even wiped the top part of the shower, where there's that little ledge that collects dust), the toilet, around the toilet, the baseboards and the door (both sides). I have done all I can do in there. I mean, I could probably find something else, but I don't really want to do that.

    I swept the hall closet, the hall bathroom and the hall way itself. I also cleaned the air return at the end of the hall and changed out the filter. We've got to get better filters than what is in there now... they are crappy!

    I wiped down everything in the hall way, the smoke detector, the door belly thingy, the walls, the door frames, the doors (they are white... hate white) to the bedrooms and both closets. I also went into Lillie's room and the back bedroom and wiped down the closet doors and the room side of the bedroom doors.

    Right now I am so tired. My ring finger and middle finger on my right hand are completely numb. My shoulders are feeling a bit tight and I am now (since I am still) having Braxton Hicks. I am sure my back is just waiting for me to stand up so it can kick me in the ass! I am not complaining, that would not be right, I have brought any aches and pains on myself at this point. I chose to stop because I didn't think I had much more gas in the tank and figured I was pretty close to over doing it. As much as I want to accomplish everything I possibly can, I don't want to push myself too hard.

    It is almost 5:00 right now and I am considering going to soak in the tub. I know that I have cleaned all I am going to clean and I have been putting things up (cleaning products, etc.) as I go along (thus is my nature), so there's nothing else to really do till Tancy gets home. A soak in a warm tub and then lathered down with lotion might be just what I need... my hands are certainly dry from all the cleaning stuff they've been in today. I should probably also go ahead and take some Tylenol.

    Tancy agreed to bring home dinner tonight. I am so thankful. Not only because the kitchen is spotless and I'd like to keep it as close to spotless as possible, at least till everyone gets here... But also because I just don't have it in me to cook tonight. I knew that much earlier in the day which is why I asked her to bring dinner home. She seemed to already been thinking along those lines.

    While I have been cleaning the house I have managed to keep in touch with Mom via text message. They seem to be enjoying themselves this weekend. I am so glad. They both needed some time away from everything. I love hearing from her, seeing her excitement about something they've seen. I love that she shares that. I can't wait to see her. I wish Dad was coming too.

    Alright kids, the Braxton Hicks are fairly intense... I think I am going to go get in the tub and try to relax a bit, maybe even float my big ass and take some of the pressure off. It'll be nice to just not smell like bleach at this point. I doubt I will be back on to blog before tomorrow. I probably wont have much interesting to report in the morning, though I will share my sleep or lack there of should that be the case. As well as my aches and pains. I got about half my list (maybe a tad more) done today... am really hoping to finish the rest of it tomorrow. Mandy is suppose to come over when Steve leaves, I can probably have half of what's left before she gets here. I don't do too bad for a pretty pregnant chick... I am sure there are those who do more... I am just proud of what I am still capable of accomplishing.

    Sending you all my love!
