Cleaning and More Cleaning.

Boy I feel wiped out today LOL. I think it's the combination of getting the house sorted and cleaned (still working on that LOL) and it being warm out. Today we did grocery shopping but I finished cleaning and sorting through the play room. The boy's did all their stuff yesterday but I had to sort through my stuff today. Wasn't as much as the boy's but it was still a task LOL.

Oh and yes for those who asked about watching the boy's clean and telling them what they missed LOL!! I was also telling them how to go about getting things sorted so putting it away would be easier. I think they just see the mess and feel overwhelmed so I was telling them to do one section at a time and one toy group at a time. Like their Lego's they have different kinds and I showed them how to sort what goes to what and it made it a lot easier for them. I don't think they really understood that before.

From all the cleaning and from doing my exercising everyday I feel so sore. My whole body feels like one sore muscle LOL. I still have more to clean but I am taking it one day at a time so I don't over due myself (all though with how my muscles feel maybe I have over done it a little LOL).

Tomorrow I think I am going to start in the living room and bathroom (our bathroom is very small so it won't take much to do :) ). Mostly I just need to sort the 2 small bookcases I have, my desk (the tops have become catch-alls ugh) and dust really well LOL. Then Sunday I might take a break and maybe Monday (if I don't decide to do it Sunday) I will start in the kitchen. Ugh I don't really want to do the kitchen LOL. It's just so hard to keep that room clean because it's also where our front door is. You all have seen pics of the gravel driveway we share with our neighbors so it gets really dusty in the hot weather and really muddy when it rains. So all that comes right in the door. So keeping the floor clean is a challenge (even with everyone taking their shoes off before coming in). Add to that all the dust that comes in when we have the door open because we don't have air conditioning (we have a window unit in our room that cools both our room and the boy's room but a window unit won't work in the living room and kitchen area). All that just to say I really don't want to do the kitchen LOL. I will eventually though. Let's just see how long it stays clean. Any bets? LOL J/K. I hope everyone is having a good day!

Today I went to the Laundromat to do laundry. I went to Big Lots after I loaded the washing machines (it's within walking distance) and looked for some Sharpies for hubby but there wasn't any there. So I had to stop off at Meijer after I finished laundry and pick some up for him. Who knew that could be such a hassle lol.

After I got home hubby was outside taking a part a wheel chair ramp. See our old neighbors next door had a child that used a wheel chair so they built a ramp in our part of the yard (we agreed of course :D) so she could get on the bus. Well the moved out a few months back but left the ramp. So I helped hubby tear it down (it already had a hole in it so it really did need to come down). I even used the power drill to take some screws out LOL. Harlow said hmm I've never seen you use a power tool before that's sexy LOL!! Let me tell you though taking that thing down was hard work. My muscles are sore from doing it. I guess that was my work out for today LOL. That's ok though I didn't mind helping anyway. To be honest I would rather do that kind of work than house work any day LOL. Yes I know I am odd LOL. You have to remember I have always been a tomboy at heart LOL. I hope everyone had a great day!!

Yesterday and NANO

Don't have pictures uploaded to my computer yet so I can't post any pics as of yet. I will get them uploaded tomorrow. We left for the MOMS Club Halloween party at 10:15 a.m. It was early but I wanted to see if they needed help setting anything else up. They set most of it up the night before so I didn't have to do anything. I would have helped them the night before but with only having one car and my hubby having to work afternoons just wasn't possible. Hubby took off work yesterday so we could take the boy's Trick or Treating so I did help to clean up after the party. Boy did that tire me out. We moved tables, a chair that was used for picture taking and of course cleaned up the mess that was left behind. So in total I was there for about four hours. We didn't get home from the party till after two p.m. Then we left for Trick or Treating at five p.m. and it started at five-thirty p.m. We didn't get home till just after seven. The boy's had taken a nap between all that but I didn't and I probably should have LOL. I went to bed at just after ten p.m. Almost as soon as I hit the pillow I was out.
This morning though I was so sore. Not even from walking all that we did because my let muscles aren't even sore. It was all from cleaning up at the party. My stomach feels like I have done 100 push-ups and my left arm is more sore than my right arm for some reason. Funny seeing how I am right handed LOL. It's probably more sore since I don't use it as often as my right. Needless to say I haven't done much except clean the kitchen today LOL. At least I got some sleep I really needed it LOL.
I am doing the Nano novel writing again this year www.nanowrimo.org. I am going to try to write at 50,000 word novel before the end of the month. You start from Nov. 1 to the end of Nov. Granted it might not be all that good but hey it's starts the process right? I did it last year but didn't get to 50,000 words. I hope to this year. So I posted a meter to hopefully keep me on track. Last year I just got side track with life LOL. Hopefully this year will be better. It's really fun just trying to think of stuff at the top of your head to write about. I'll try to keep it updated. Today was the first day and so far as you can see I have about 2,124 words. I actually did a little more after I put it up but that's ok. This will hopefully give me a head start. Wish me luck LOL.
