Done for the day (3:00) – Wooped!
I am trying to remember where I left off and what I’ve done since my last post.
- I swept the back bedroom, moved all the furniture. Don’t fuss, it’s all light.. and again, all moves easily on the wood floor.
- I dusted the furniture in there and moved a few things around. In the process I pulled down the curtains. I will have to get Tancy to help me get them back up. Something about putting my hands up over my head just isn’t working for me presently. My arms go weak and I feel like I can’t breathe… go figure!
- I got the step stool out from the pantry and got up in the top of the closet to arrange the spare blankets. I also moved the stuff in the bottom of the closet around. I needed to make room for our guests clothes.
- I took the stool into our bedroom and straightened the top of our closet while I was at it. I took down some of the stuffed animals we had and brought them into Lillie’s room.
- I picked the dog bed up out of the hall (where I had put it to sweep our bedroom) and put it back in its place. Then I swept the hallway and Lillie’s room and the rest of the hallway.
- I went back into the back bedroom and made the bed.
- I also wiped down the walls were there were marks from I have no idea what since it is only a guest bed room that is almost never used.
- I moved the paint cans out of Lillie’s room (the big ones, I wont move the little ones until everyone puts their touch on her room). And straightened up.
- Lastly I made our bed. Very anticlimactic I know!
I thought about sweeping the living room floor… that’s the only floor I haven’t swept in all this work, but I just don’t have it in me. It also happens to be the room that needs it the absolute most…. but I can’t do what I can’t do. I considered it for a long time before making that decision though. See, if I sweep, I can dust (which isn’t very strenuous and I really want to get done). But, chances are, if I sweep I am past done for the day. Basically, I am done. I’ve hit my wall. Thankfully I am smart enough to know that I have done enough for the day.
Mandy just called. She’s on her way. I explained to her that I am done… an eight hour day of cleaning is enough. She still intends to come by and work on whatever is left on my list. I told her not to worry about it, what is left I can do on Tuesday. But she insists. I told her that I feel bad about sitting on my ass while she works, that’s a pet peeve of mine… but, again, she insists that she really wants to help.. So! So be it.
Tancy has tomorrow off and we hope to sleep in some. Then we’ll get up and get a few things done around here that I need her to do. She’s been great about helping out and doing what I need her to do. She doesn’t even fuss much. Haha!
On a really positive note, the puppies have been inside all day. I was worried about this, the rain sucks (although, honestly I am glad to see it… means I don’t have to water everything this evening) for cleaning house, it means the pups have to stay inside. Normally, when they are inside all day they get rambunctious and get into trouble. Today, however, they have been on their best behavior. They laid on their bed while I worked in our bath room. They laid on their bed while I worked in our bed room. They laid on their bed in the hallway when I moved it. When I haven’t been in the back of the house, they have laid on the couch. They have been exceptional. However, they probably wont sleep tonight… they’ve slept all day today.
I really have got to get back to posting about things other than cleaning house and doctors appointment. Unfortunately I am thinking, as a Mom, this is my future. LOL! Oh well, I don’t even know how is reading my posts anymore. I am sure, before long, I will have a bitch of some sort! Haha!
Later taters. Have a great rest of your Sunday and enjoy your Holiday!
