When I got home, I did not want to do anything. Shea woke up from his nap, and I didn't even really feel like feeding him or watching him. I really wanted a nap. But God is so gracious and gave me an adorably cute baby (just like all moms!) so he won me over from grumpiness in the end. And then when he was laughing hysterically trying to walk, he fell and hit the rocking chair and now has a fat lip. Maybe you can see it in this picture:
So after that, he went down for a nap. My chance to take a nap too!! right?? wrong! I decided to get some sewing done. The entire time I was telling myself I should be taking a nap, but sewing is therapeutic for me, so I think it was ok. Here's a sneak-peek of what I made (I'm saving the full reveal for a post on my blog):
After that, I got a random burst of energy and got the following things done (mostly motivated by taking a bath at the end of the day):
- went to WAL*MART and got cleaning supplies to scour the bathroom (Angela, you inspired me), and Tupperware/lunch bag for Shea to use when he starts Daycare next week (yikes!)
- Came home and fed Shea
- finished 2 1/2 loads of laundry (second load is in the dryer right now)
- Drank some tea
- Cleaned the Master Bathroom
- took a bath (this only happened because you girls were all talking about taking baths, and it sounded so GOOD! And it was!)
- Drank some more tea
- Cuddled with my husband (while drinking MORE tea)
so in regards to cleaning bathrooms...Do any of you girls have advice for getting mildew/mold stains off your tub? I used KA-BOOM, Magic Eraser, Bleach, Oxy-Clean Baking Soda NO SCRUB spray, and some shower cleaner stuff I had. NOTHING WILL GET RID OF IT! Its just these dark little spots on one part of the tub. I doubt theres any living mold on it after I put all that on it, but really. What else is there that I can use? Driving me nuts! And just to show you how incredibly bad and embarrassed I should be about my bathroom....

OK GROSS....now after (hear me breathe a deep sigh of relief):
And now, I am waiting for my Nyquil to kick in so I can sleep soundly through the night...goodnight, girls! Thanks for your almost daily dose of domestic inspiration :)

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love how crafty you are! You make the most adorable things. (Amber has shown me your craft blog). You do exactly what I want to do someday (when I get a sewing machine, more room in my apartment, and my list goes on).
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom looks amazing! The awesome thing about it being messy in the first place is the pure and utter joy you can get out of the fact that you just cleaned the entire thing! I love how clean bathrooms look, call me weird, but it makes me happy when I see them. As for the mold thing I am at a loss as well. If you find something out please share the knowledge! I have used Mr. Clean and bleach on our mold and it makes it go away for a while, but always returns...not cool.
And I totally understand not calling in sick, I have never done it. Not that I have never been sick, but I just can't get myself to do it knowing I am going to make my fellow employees work that much harder. (Or in the case of nannying leave the parents without anyone to watch their kids!)
becca - your photos are awesome! I have two dirty bathrooms right now! They're not exactly messy, but they need scrubbin'. I have decided that I will clean our bathrooms today. Yes.
ReplyDeleteCan I please put up a link to your craft blog on the sidebar so all the girls can see it?
Love you!
Angela - There really is something fulfilling about clean bathrooms, isn't there? I was so glad I got it done! I must be weird too - I'll admit it - candles lit in clean bathrooms almost give me shivers...
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get a chance to get a sewing machine - do it!
Amber - yes, you can put up a link :) I hardly ever update it haha...
