A day off? For a mom? HELL NO! Are you out of your mind!

Yesterday I moped the foyer floor and the kitchen floor, after I had swept. I also unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, cleaned off the counters and the stove. Did 3 loads of laundry, folded it and vacuumed the floors.

If I did all that yesterday do you think it would be soooo horrible to take a light day today? Abby had dance and after that we just hung out. I let the kids play outside for a bit since it was the first nice day in a long while. And I read a book. Yup, God freaking forbid I read a book, but I did.

Why is that so wrong???? Why does Josh have to harp on me like I never do anything? I know I used to slack of a lot with house hold stuff, and I'm still not the best. But I think lately I've been doing pretty damn good. So what's wrong with taking a day off? I had off from work tonight so it was like a vacation day.

Anyway, sorry to have been gone forever then come back just to rant. And Josh I know you read this from time to time, and I'm sorry, I am not mad at you now since you dropped your attitude but I still had to rant about earlier. Love ya!

How do you clean?

I never really gave this much thought until Josh brought it to my attention today. Let me give you the facts, I HATE TO CLEAN! But sometimes I get in the mood and spend all day cleaning.

Now this happened today and I thought I did this great job since I was at it all day. That is until that night when Josh says "did you actually clean outside of anything?" I didn't' know what the heck he was talking about.

He pointed out that I cleaned the inside of the stove, the sink, loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, a load or two of laundry, the kids closet & dresser, and my bookshelves (go here to see the pretty organized shelves of mine!). All of which you can't really see. I didn't touch a vacuum, broom, dust mop, anything like this.

I think it is so funny that I didn't' even notice this fact till he pointed it out today. It's so true though. If we set aside a cleaning day Josh will clean like two rooms to my organizing one drawer. lol.

So my question to you today is .... is it only me? How do you clean?
