Here I am again, waiting til' right before bed to post. Hence this being another short post ;). I'll try to make tomorrow the "vacation recap" to make up for all these lame in between posts.

I really did have something to talk about and yet now I'm struggling to remember ... oh how I wish my mind had a "record" feature so I could rewind and play it back when needed ...

Oh yes, I remember. Thursday's are cleaning day around here. I like to get the whole house done in one morning or afternoon and be done with it. No dragging it out for days ... and I like to do it right before the weekend in case we want to invite friends over. No last minute cleaning stress. So here is my method and I want to know yours ...

  • Vacum all rugs
  • Vacum all carpet and vacum bathroom/utlity floors (this is SO much easier and more effective than sweeping them)
  • Dust bedrooms/living room
  • Clean bathrooms
  • Mop kitchen floor (every week)
  • Mop bathroom/utility floors (every other week)

And there you have it. Takes about 2 hours if I plug right on through. I try to do it before Ethan's nap so that I can take one afterward too!

Last but not least for tonight, my stats for today:
  1. Exercised for 60 minutes
  2. Drank about 40 oz water / 20 oz iced tea / 12 oz pop
  3. Probably 2.5 servings fruit/veggies
  4. Ate 2 oatmeal/dark choc. chip cookies - that's okay, right? Oatmeal is good for you and so is dark chocolate, yes?
Not the worst day, not the best either. Bring on tomorrow!

Well, with living at home I don't have a routine of cleaning. I only clean my room when I cannot get to my closet anymore. I do laundry on Sundays, the only day I am home. Other than that my mommy cleans my bathroom. So usually I come home to a spakling bathroom one night. That's my routine!
