Just make it til Sunday...

This is the week I've been looking forward to ... dreading... Can't wait to see everyone... can't wait til it's over... I've been cleaning my house for what seems an eternity, trying to repair a disgusting bath tub in a bathroom that's just begging for a total makeover. My kids are following behind me creating new and exciting messes --- Did you know a dresser makes an excellent doll hospital ---- when there are NO CLOTHES in it????

Company will be here tomorrow. My DH is working like a dog at the new "suck it up" job, and I appreciate that he's giving it the old college try... Our dear friends that have been dating/living together for the better part of 17 years are getting married on Friday night. I know it will be fun, I know I need to relax, but as usual I am my PSYCHO self.

At least there is less of me... My diet has really taken a turn for the better. I've been on track and the scale is moving DOWN. I worked out 6 of 7 days last week; and while I know I may not make it to the gym at all this week, I could hardly consider myself slacking... vacuuming, scrubbing, mulching, mowing, and hauling laundry up and downstairs has got to account for something.

Cleaning is one of the most satisfying forms of exercise, isn't it? Good luck with everything. I know how you feel. I'm on Day 7 of my family visiting me, Day 5 of overtime at work, and Day Minus 1 of an almost three week road trip for work.

What I wouldn't do to spend today cleaning my apartment from ceiling to floor just for the therapy!

Eventually things will slow down and you too will get that opportunity to CLEAN --- really clean and basque in you cleanliness for an evening of complete relaxation.... without your visiting family, work worries or anything else stressful...... Make time for it... I SO enjoyed yesterday afternoon, house relatively clean - kids and dad at the Y... Me, dog and book on couch... PRICELESS!
