I love the smell of a clean house! After an insanely crazy week that involved 3 days of working 12-15 hours each day, online classes that are kicking my backside, meetings for my special needs children at their school, the last day of school for the kids until the fall, and our adoption hearing, my house has suffered. Today the kids and I spent a few hours doing some really heavy hitting cleaning. We cleaned all three bathroom and mopped the floors, vacuumed the entire downstairs, decluttered the living room and unearthed my kitchen counters, did umpteen loads of laundry and put it away, and the kids picked up their rooms to “mom standards”. What do we get rewared with for all our hard work? A thunderstorm of epic proportions! We had planned to take the kids swimming at the pool after dinner, but my husband has to stay late for work and now it is raining like crazy. I should just let them go outside and dance in the rain, but with the lightening, I can’t chance it.
Tomorrow we are having my mom and stepdad come for a visit! A rare treat. I love seeing my mom so I am super excited for her to get here. We don’t get to see her all that often and to top it off, my best friend is coming over too. I hope we can get the yard mowed and the patio cleaned off though tomorrow morning so we can enjoy the outdoors. Let’s hope the rain holds off tomorrow evening.
