Cleaning

So, I spent the entire day yesterday cleaning the house pretty much from top to bottom because Mikes mom is coming down tomorrow to stay the week with us. Mike thinks this is totally ridiculous (the house cleaning part) but after 20 some odd years of it being drilled into you that your house must be perfect when company comes, I just can't get away from it.

Unfortunately, life goes on and the house is dirty yet again today. I just hate cleaning. It is a never ending job that you only get to enjoy for a few hours, or minutes depending on if you have children. I did demand that last night we go out since I had just spend the better part of two hours cleaning the kitchen. We ventured out to Fatz and it was pretty good, although I ate way too much, cheese fries, bread and popcorn shrimp.

Today was a pretty lazy day. I did some ironing, made up the bed, went to Big Lots and got some snack things for Michael and came home and played with Michael in the yard a bit. it was supposed to rain to day but it turned out to be beautiful after the much needed rain we got for the past three days.

We have a really busy week this week. I hate weeks like this but it just can't be avoided sometimes. I am taking Michael to have his Halloween costume pictures redone because they ripped the negatives. That is on Monday at 10:40. Then I am meeting SB for lunch. Tuesday is school for Michael and work for me. Wed I am taking Michael to the dentist for the first time. A lady in our church has just started her own pediatric dentistry and so we are going there. Then Wed night we have church. Thursday we are going on a trip to the pumpkin patch and apple farm at Nivens apple farm. Ashley has arranged the trip and I think there will be about 20 of us going. It should be fun. Friday I don't think we have anything.

The reason I hate these weeks so bad is that I usually don't make it to the gym like I would like during these times and since we just joined a new gym, I feel guilty about it. Hopefully after this week, things will be normal schedule for a while and I can get back into the swing of a normal routine. I want to get in a regular schedule of going to classes at the gym but I haven't had time to really sit down and look at what is offered and when I can go etc.

So, next week will be pretty busy, I may not get any updates out there but I will try.
