Just another day in paradise

After taking yesterday off, we slept in till almost noon again.  But this time, we got up and were productive. I got the downstairs while he was supposed to do the upstairs.  He did his side of the room 😆 after a long day of cleaning downstairs,  I went to bed, but had to finish cleaning upstairs. I couldn't even finish cuz it's half past bedtime. 

We borrowed my cousin's carpet shampooer. I love this thing.  I started with vacuuming 3 times, I shampooed the carpets. The whole downstairs! It took about half an hour just to shampoo. 

I then started on the kitchen.  Cleaning the counters, stove, oven, dishes.  I even moved some kitchen appliances, that I almost never use, to the garage. This made more room to put Christie's foreman grill in a cabinet & create so much more counter space! Swept the kitchen about 3 times. Could probably use it again.

I can't help but think of Sarah always cleaning her house with all the animals.  Well, with all our pets & ppl living here, I feel like we have as many animals as Sarah.  It felt good to clean,  but I don't have time every day to clean like that. I have dreams of cleaning like that once a week-  but every day is something different, so the whole house gets cleaned. 

Overall it was a good day.  I even got some meal prepping done.  It's going to be another 11 days before we can go shopping for more food.  I spent a lot of time creating a schedule of when fyi snack during the day.  I also spent a LOT of time planning a workout for the rest of the year.  Let's hope it can all go to plan. 

I meant to donate today, but I wouldn't have gotten done all that was done.  I meant to go to RT today, but I didn't even think about it... not that I even left the house today.  I know we need more money. I just don't know if I could have the schedule I want.  Having tuesday afternoon's off, and one Sunday (if not the whole weekend) a month off, may be just what I need, but how long can I do that?  I only need it to save up for maternity leave. Most of the credit should be paid off by then. And once Bryan finishes school and gets a new job,  we'll be able to pay off collections.

It always works out. And I've got a good plan.  Keep moving forward & sticking to a routine is what will make this work!
Good night, as it's now an hour past bedtime!
