Don't get me wrong, I've been hugely productive the past couple of days...just the wrong kind of productive. That kind of productive where you do anything but what you're supposed to do.
Since I dropped Lincoln off on base I have made two elf hats, a lace hat with a flower, a bear hat with no pattern, and finished a square for a blanket I've been working on.
So today I watched the game, watched the Casey Anthony trial, and was texting a bagillion people during my afternoon and swore to myself I wouldn't start another project until I cleaned the house. My reward for myself would be that I get to make this hat tonight after I finished.
So I finally got off the couch after the trial wrapped up for the day and started in the bathroom which is always the first room I clean when I clean b/c it's easy. Anything in there probably belongs there so it just needs to be put up, everything gets wiped down, washed, etc and when you're done it sparkles and shines.
That's where I am right now...After being in the bathroom for so long with so many fumes I needed to escape so here I am, taking a break and coming down off the fume high.
There's a load of towels in the drier, more laundry waiting to go in, dishes soaking in the sink, trash ready to be taken out, and I watered the plants that have been a bit neglected the past week. Next up will possibly be the living room just b/c it's the next easiest and really just needs to be vacuumed and dusted.
Looking forward to cleaning the kitchen b/c after it's clean I get to mess it up again and start working on baked goods for the trip to Texas.
My goal is to leave the house clean so that when Lincoln gets back it's clean and it'll be easier to start packing and getting ready for the big move... as of now the idea is to rent a 14' truck and pack everything up ourselves and make the drive. It saves way too much money for us to do it ourselves that it would be silly to hire movers at this point.
and surely he can rustle up a guy to come help with the heavy stuff,right?
