Well, today has been a very productive day around here. It all started with a cup of coffee. It sounded good today since I had chocolate caramel creamer to use. (Eh, with the creamer though. Nothing too special.)
Then I started thinking about how we don't have anything going on today for the first time in a while. So I impromptu offered to host a playgroup this morning. I only asked about 1 hour before it was to start so I didn't have any takers. However, the perfectionist side of me kicked in and I started to clean--not a lot. I just quick vacc'd, swept the floors and wiped down the powder room. Well, then that lead to me dusting the living room which led to me dusting the dining room/storage room. That lead to me putting away stuff in Maddy's room, cleaning her bathroom (even the baseboards) and dusting her room. Then I cleaned our bathroom, too. I spent time today cleaning little things I very seldomly clean but need to be cleaned. Maddy enjoyed her time in the other rooms she's not normally in and I was able to get things done.
During her nap I wrote a letter I've been meaning to write and cleaned the spare bedroom's window. I can't even start to tell you how nasty it was inside and out. I guess the stuff they sprayed on the walls missed their destination a bit when they were painting and it was glued onto the windows. Not to mention, it was a storage room before then so we never cleaned it. Plus, it faces our garden so when it downpours it gets splashed with dirt. It was GROSS. I did clean the TV, front door and kitchen window where Maddy likes to stick her hands.
However, she only slept for 45 minutes!!! Man, I was on a roll and I will be honest I was quite frustrated when she woke up. I was frustrated because not only did she only sleep for 45 minutes, I hadn't even sat down for a minute to myself yet since I was on such a roll cleaning. I did just lay her down about 15 minutes ago and I ran outside to the mailbox and washed the outside of the spare window. Now she's up again calling for me. SHEESH. I guess it's going to be a long afternoon!
Yesterday we did go to Lowes and the grocery store and it was nice to get out a bit. It's so cold and wet today although not raining yet. I just don't want to take her out. Plus, we don't need a whole lot of anything so there's no real reason to go.
Well, I better go get the munchkin up.
Tea of the day: Just coffee.
WO of the day: 30 minutes elliptical, yesterday and today.
