I got a lot accomplished today! Joe took the boys this morning out to his parents house, while he changed the oil in my car. While I had the house to myself, I cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned.
I did three loads of laundry, cleaned both bathrooms, mopped both bathrooms, mopped the kitchen floor, cleaned the kitchen, and dusted upstairs. All of this in less than three hours! It is amazing what you can accomplish without two little monkeys (a.k.a. Ryan and Cole) underfoot.
I was bummed though that I didn’t get the upstairs vacuumed; I was just turning on the vacuum when Joe and the boys came home, and the boys were tired, and needed their naps. Then I made myself think of everything that I did get done, and felt pretty good. I can finish vacuuming tomorrow.
Tonight I had girls night out at a Mexican restaurant. It was really nice to have a kid-free dinner and catch up with some of my friends that I haven’t seen for a while.
I wasn’t planning on being home for the boys’ bedtime, but when I arrived home, they were just going off to sleep. Cole was out like a light, so I snuggled with Ryan. He asked me if I had missed him, and told me he loved me so much, and Dad made him the best dinner ever.
Of course I asked him what this wonderful dinner consisted of, and he told me, cheese, tortillas, carrots that were cut up, and strawberries. Guess I don’t need to make him his own gourmet pizza anymore- evidently Dad has the culinary touch.
