Today was tackle-the-house day. Since my back is better I would feel extremely guilty if I wasn't doing something productive with my time. Sitting on the couch/laying on the floor just doesn't cut it on the productive scale. Yes, I craft (embroider, cross stitch, crochet, sew, scrapbook, knit, etc etc etc), but one can only do so much of those when you aren't able to move your head in any direction whatsoever.
Okay, back to my day's activities. Today, I tackled the dishes. I swear I heard my kitchen sink take a deep breath when it was finally able to smell the fresh air. Then when I cleaned it and flushed out the disposal, I am almost positive I heard my disposal say something along the lines of "Hallelujah" but I can't be certain.
I swept (but didn't mop) my kitchen floor. After the sweeping activity, my back was giving me a bit of complaining, so I figured I shouldn't push it. I did decide to move on to the desk which has been growing paper stacks. It's weird how completely messy my house gets...especially because I, as an individual, am insanely organized. We're talking...sock drawer organized kind of person. I need to know where everything is. Yes, I know this is ultimately stupid in the grand scheme of things, but it's who I am.
Here I sit, having spent the majority of my day cleaning, organizing, and cooking (starting to get back to normal around here! lol!), and yet my house looks like I have done almost nothing at all!! Is it that I have four children and two dog syndrome? Or have I somehow acquired shadows that filthify everything in sight when I am not looking? It seriously perplexes me how a rug I just vacuumed can become dirty again so quickly.
Can you believe Easter is this Sunday? Wow. Sort of popped up on me quickly. Well, back to life. The kids are done bathing. We are going to snuggle up and watch a kid movie. Blessings!
