So where have I been?
I went to the office last Wednesday. Left around 2 as a gift from the managers. Which kind of stunk because it was the last day I will probably go to the office for awhile..more on that in a minute.
Thanksgiving day we spent lunch at Mom’s and then went home for naps and then dinner at Scott’s grandmother’s. It was all pretty relaxing, no drama to report.
Mom kept the girls Thursday night so instead of getting up before the crack of dawn to shop Friday morning, we decided to sleep in. Very nice. The rest of Friday was spent getting the tree up. Friday night we went to Sake for MIL’s birthday and came home and watched Match Point–not good.
Friday night Emma stayed with MIL so I got up Saturday and cleaned almost the whole day. Very nice to get a bunch of it done. Saturday night was spent watching Over the Hedge–it was ok, kids weren’t impressed much.
Sunday was a very full day at church. The choir sang at a funeral and also started practice early for the cantata at 4. So I really was at church all day long.
And today…oh today. Today Scott started work back today. He goes in 7-3 every. day. Ugh, I’ve always claimed I couldn’t work from home without the help of Scott 2-3 days a week and I hope I prove myself wrong for at least a couple of weeks. This morning went fine and I’m not stressed at all. But of course it took some preparing last night. Got their bags and outfits ready. And I’ve had to prepare myself for having to cart the kids back and forth 3 times a week myself. I do have to admit it’s nice having a quiet house though. No complaining about clothes in the floor (not that there are any right now) or empty cups on tables (only 1) or having to answer computer questions or listening to loud cell phone conversations. Yes, there are some perks. But I’m sure it will get old fast.
I did so much cleaning this weekend, it’s unbelievable. Really. I did my regular cleaning–floors, dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, laundry, dishes. I’m always LUCKY to get that done. But this weekend, I cleaned out our hall closet, tupperware cabinet (yes, we HAD a LOT of tupperware), another kitchen cabinet and also finally went through all the crap on our kitchen counter–you know that counter/table that catches all the crap that comes into the house for future sorting. Yeah, well, I did all that sorting. I keep looking at my clean counter and then look at my clean cabinets underneath and smile thinking that those are clean too :).
I just caught myself dancing to a song on this show. Yikes.
