On A Good Day

    On a good day, I can get lots of things done! Most days I'm just tired from not sleeping well, or I feel a little sick from the crazy weather and possibly some random new allergy. 

    But today was a day I had energy, felt well and I mustered up the motivation to clean the apartment!

    The other day, I cleaned our bathrooms (kinda). I at least cleaned the sinks and toilets, which is gross enough and I lost motivation to clean. 

    I've also made dinner the past few nights and that's been pretty crazy. I try to clean as I go, but of course, things start to pile up. Finally, I just put everything by the sink and cleaned off the stove, which was nice and it looks good enough to cook on again. 

    One night I got tired of the living room having stuff on the floor, so I vacuumed it really quickly while Jared watched Aubrey. 

    Most of what I do is in pieces and I do one piece a day. 

    Today though, I did tons! I did ALL the dishes, except one (gotta save something for Jared to do!). I even cleaned the sink and all the counters. Woohoo! But, instead of being done for the day, I decided to clean the dining room. 

    Poor Aubrey freaked out at first when I started the vacuum, but I put her in the sling with her facing out. Seeing the vacuum and watching me turn it on helped her not freak out. We had fun vacuuming and cleaning off the table. 

    That's not all! Aubrey and I went into her room and put away all her clothes and blankets that I had left in the laundry basket. Once it was cleaned out, I put the dirty stuff in the basket and found a box. Even though it was very sad for me, we packed away her newborn outfits because she's gotten so long and has put on a few pounds.

    And good news for everyone, I even found time to shower quickly, do my hair, do my make-up and even paint my toe nails red, white and blue!

    It's been a successful day and I feel I've deserved a reward :) I had a Dr. Pepper and that was pretty delicious. Aubrey is taking her late afternoon nap, so I've been enjoying Netflix, while we still have it. 

    We'll see what tomorrow holds! It's a holiday so I might refuse to do any housework, other than make yummy potato salad for the party at the Atkins' house!
