Don’t you just love the first day back after a holiday weekend?
Doesn’t the short week feel longer than ever?
Why is that?
I don’t know if I told you, but my house cleaning sister broke her arm a few months back. I’ve been working a lot for her. She has a part time girl who has been working closer to full time, kind of. She calls off pretty much every Monday. Of course she called off today. 2 of us did 4 houses. We got home a little after 4. Not bad – but I’m tired!
The house got trashed over the weekend. Youngest boy had a party Saturday night. Which meant not much sleep. When I got up, there was a body on the couch, another one on a recliner, cans and bottles and cups all over the house… Youngest son was face down on the couch in the family room with his feet o
n the floor.
Bob must have heard me. He got up and started looking around. I just said, “have fun with that” and went back to bed for a couple of hours. Then I got up and went to my daughter’s house. I wasn’t dealing with it.
We had a really nice day. You know its always going to be active. After a nice lunch, we went shopping for a dress for her. Mission accomplished!
Then they took me to a place called Waterfall Glen –
Isn’t that cool? You can walk across it. There were a lot of people in the water down stream. There are all kinds of trails. Very cool place. I’m looking forward to going back there. Hopefully with a full night’s sleep next time.
Then she made us a nice dinner. Then we walked the dog. There is this cool fountain near their apartment where he proposed to her –
I could feel the crash coming. She made a big travel mug of coffee for me and I set out for the hour drive home.
Monday, I didn’t do much of anything.
I didn’t stress about the house. Bob had cleaned up the cans and bottles and did the dishes. I did sweep the laminate floors. I have my rituals – I clean up the kitchen and wipe down the bathroom every night. The rest will get done on its regular day. The house really does stay pretty clean without a lot of effort. (Here’s how…)
Now all we have to do is make it through the rest of the week…
