Time: 3:29 AM
Reason for still being up: Cleaning my house for the last 5 or so hours
Explanation: For the past few weeks, I've had a massive pile of laundry on my bed that I've literally been sleeping under. They're all clean, just not put away. Since my husband is now sleeping on the couch (I mean loveseat) because our mattress hurts his back too bad, it hasn't been such a big deal that I can't actually see my bed anymore. I don't care. But tonight I decided enough was enough and to finally do something about it.
Why, you ask?
Because my good friend Rachel is coming over tomorrow to babysit my children and I am embarrassed at what a mess my house is. (It was mostly clean on Friday, I swear, but weekends are no bueno for keeping my house clean, ever.) During my late night cleaning, the following adventures happened to me, and I made a few discoveries:
Killed 4 spiders. 1 mystery bug.
Got bit by a bug on my ankle. Proceeded to bleed for about 10 minutes. I never bleed!
Had the shite scared out of me when the sprinklers came on right outside my window. I was literally shaking.
Then I got scared by chris when he got up to go pee. I walked around the corner & almost ran into him.
Put laundry away. Found "lost" items of clothing.
Boxed up some old clothes that don't fit the kids anymore. Cried a little.
Heard noah talk in his sleep.
Found noahs bouncy ball.
Witnessed bostyn move around every possible square inch of her crib, including on top of her one of her dolls. She randomly sucked on 3 different pacifiers she had lying around her crib. Every time I walked in to the room, she had a different colored pacifier in her mouth! Cute thing is that she doesn't even open her eyes, she just searches with her hands for the nearest one, then sticks it in her mouth, sometimes backwards.
Finally unpacked from my trip to rock springs 1 week ago.
After putting away most of the laundry, I ran out of hangers. The kids had enough hangers, but since they share a closet, they're all pretty jam packed in there. They might end up wearing the same clothes over & over again just because I can't get any new ones out of the closet!
I got all of my laundry put away except for the clothes I was wearing, no hangers left over. Put all the laundry away that I could of chris's, need at least 15 more hangers. Will go to Target this week to get more. Or I will just make Chris get rid of some of his clothes. That sounds better.
I would like to thank Rachel for not only agreeing to watch the kids on short notice, but unknowingly making me scrub my house clean. Only things I didnt get done: vaccuming (kind of hard to do when everyone is asleep), the remaining dishes that didn't fit in the dishwasher and cleaning Frenchie's litter box. I think its time to potty train the cat so I don't have to clean up after her anymore. Despite those few things, I would like to hear Chris repeat the words "you don't do ANYTHING except watch tv & play on the computer" to me. Love you too babe! (Sarcasm)
Time is now 3:58 AM. Good night!
