Whirlwind Day

Ran errands in the morning, and on my way back in I got a call from the real estate appointment center-- a showing in 15 minutes! And I still had dirty dishes and egg shells in the kitchen sink! Aaa!!! Bolted into the house and was a madwoman cleaning up. My dishwasher was full of clean dishes and I had a smattering of dirty in the sink. In the rush I ended up putting the dirty stuff in the CLOTHES DRYER!!! AHAHAHA!!! I did get the house all ready to show, but it taught me a lesson: when I leave the house for the day, it must be in show-ready condition!






Matthew came home from school in the afternoon and wanted a snack. He normally makes a huge mess when he eats, so to keep the kitchen floor cleaner I had him sit on the very-clean floor with a tray. Poor kid! I felt bad for him, but it did keep the mess down and he didn't seem to mind the change of pace.

Keeping the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms inspection-perfect is quite the challenge. I feel like a proper housewife, which is good, but I'm not getting any of the downstairs clutter done, which isn't good.

When Jonathan got home from work we were scurrying to get out the door again-- another showing at 6pm! We drove over to Calvary Baptist and the guys had dinner before class time. After that I went to my First Place class (lost 2 1/2 pounds this week! Whoo-hoo!), Matthew went to Mission Friends and Jonathan went into a classroom to work on a paper.

After Calvary we went home to bed. Jonathan worked on his paper and I did Bible study, etc. It was odd sitting there, silent for a long time. But silence is good, especially when you've spent the majority of your day in a whirlwind!
