I wonder if Hubby helped me as much as he did because he got me with an April Fool's prank. I was making the cake for Ben's birthday and went to get the water I needed for the recipe. When I turned on the faucet, the water sprayed out of the sprayer and not the faucet, soaking my shirt. My dear husband had placed a rubber band around the sprayer as a joke. He really got me! So I chased him with the spray bottle we use to keep the cats off the table and got him soaked! Payback!
I have:
- deep cleaned the upstairs bathroom
- straightened up our bedroom and made our bed
- had the kids clean their rooms (while not perfect, they look so much better and these will get decluttered this month as I think their rooms are going to be my project this month)
- did 3 loads of laundry (only have one more to go and it will be all done!)
- wiped down the walls going up the stairs
- Hubby dusted and straighten the living room
- Hubby deep cleaned the dining room table and chairs
- He also cleaned the outside of the curio cabinet
- I finished the mudroom today (swept it and mopped it)
- I wiped down the outside of the cabinets and appliances in the kitchen (also straightened up the magnets on the refrigerator)
- I cleaned the countertops, the flour and sugar containers (as I had used what was left in them to make Ben's cake), and the inside and outside of the microwave
- I swept and mopped the kitchen
- deep cleaned the downstairs bathroom, including sweeping and mopping
- made and decorated Ben's birthday cake for tomorrow
- made frozen pizza, breadsticks and cut up strawberries for the kiddos dinner (will make wings for hubby later when he gets home from work)
- cleaned out leftovers in the fridge and straightened the fridge.
The only thing I still need to do tonight is mop the dining room and the living room. I also need to fold the last loads of clothes and put them away.
So, I am pleased with what I got accomplished today! The house looks and feels so much better and I feel better it.
Hope everyone has had a great Saturday!
Wow! You did a lot. At least you had some help so it did not all fall on you.
ReplyDeleteYes I was very thankful that Bill helped out!
DeleteGO RACHEL! That is a LOT to accomplish in a week nevermind ONE DAY! I hope you feel more relaxed/less stressed after all you were able to do. (By the way, I know you said you were in an exercise slump but think about the calories you burned with all that cleaning!)
ReplyDeleteBen's cake looks amazing! Wish we lived closer because I would hire you to do my cake baking! =)
That is true about the calories. I will say that I slept much better that night. :)
