The Vacation Continues

Aug 6th, 2009By: Comments 0

I’m not sitting on a beach. I haven’t read a book. My “vacation” has still been enjoyable. Why? I went to bed with most of my house clean. The kitchen was spotless. The playroom is organized. There are only a few toys in the living room*. The kids’ room is clean. The dog is even clean. I did it all, and I don’t feel stressed because I spent time doing it when I should be sleeping. I didn’t do it thinking that I have to work afterwards. I have no deadlines. I have no meetings.

I have found at least one taker for all the kids clothes and toys that I have stacked in my workout/photography room. I’d like to workout again, so these need to go soon. I think that I’ll just end up donating the rest somewhere.

I have also:

  • Made progress on the file server cleanup.
  • Tried a new recipe–a zucchini curry soup
  • Received a bagel lesson
  • Schedule yet another repair person to this time actually fix the dishwasher. I don’t want to go through the five weeks and three trip repair time we did with our washing machine

I still need to:

  • Finishing the abandoned paint jobs
  • Start the kids’ bathroom paint job
  • Yard work
  • Clean the carpets. All of them.

I’m going to fix the kids breakfast, take Jay to daycare and head to KC with Ada.

*There are a few small toys that James threw behind the fireplace screen. I didn’t feel like detaching it to get them out.
