I always feel better about Mondays when I know I kicked some
ass over the weekend.
My biggest accomplishment was the playroom. I had planned on
working on it this week what with me being trapped in the playroom for homework
time. Instead, I decided to get a leg up and dive in yesterday morning.
Specifically, I wanted to make sure they had room to do homework tonight. Yeah,
it was that bad.
It was great since the boys were outside playing and never
saw anything get placed in the giant black trash bag. I tossed in so much
stuff. Most of it toys they never use. I also had the bag for trash, which was
a shocking amount. Often, there was trash just stored with toys. Luckily, it
wasn’t gross trash, just papers and wrappers from toys.
Luna and Lucy kept me company as I tore through the drawers
of kid stuff. I didn’t toss out any Toy Story stuff as I still am emotionally
scarred from that movie to “shelve” any of those characters. I did however bag
Transformers stuff and so dang many Happy Meal style toys. I figure many of
those may go to the school as things for the prize boxes.
The bag is in the garage now. I will give it a month since
that is about the right amount of time to allow the boys to possibly miss
something put in there. I won’t let them know. All they saw is that Mom cleaned
the shit out of their playroom and they were quite thrilled since it meant they
could find things easier. I take it as a win when the old stuff leaving was
greater than the new stuff entering.
The burst of cleaning adrenaline kept me going so I ended up
throwing on my apron and making breakfast burritos for Ken and I for the week.
It doesn’t take much, but it does take a bit of time. It means I will have
filling and low calorie breakfasts for the week, which will be perfect!
I felt inspired in the kitchen and ended up also whipping up
a couple batches of cupcakes while I was prepping dinner. Yeah, I get into that
Donna Reed mode sometimes, especially when I rock the skeleton apron.
I even went on to start cleaning the bedroom and helped the
boys put up more of their Star Wars stickers in their room. I was feeling
ambitious, clearly. I still wish I had done more, but whatcha gonna do, right?
Mr. Dax is going to have a rough morning. He was already
getting weepy last night about having to return to school. He thinks the 6
hours of school time is too long. He always has a fun time there, but it is
that anticipation that fucks with him. I am especially concerned this morning,
though, since I know many schools are going back for the first time since the
shootings. I don’t know if there will be new policies implemented. I know that
for instance at the school Dylan and Taylor go to, parents are no longer
allowed to walk their kids to the classroom unless they sign in at the office.
This would be a huge issue with Dax. Of course, Ken would sign in, but he has
to get to class himself, so extra time spent will not go over well.
I may need to rock some awesome snacks today for them being
that I am guessing they will be way tired when they get home.
I get to workout in the gym today. I am way jazzed. I have
my gym bag all ready, iPad all charged up and I am counting down till I get to
go in there. I am hoping to do another bit of exercise this afternoon, but we
will see what kind of time I have. I may just bring the small weights into the
playroom and lift them as I help the boys. That being said, I need to work on
weeding out books today in there, too, so we will see. Perhaps just a walk with
Luna before I make dinner. Yeah, that sounds good, too!
The kittens have their spay appointment this Saturday
morning. We need to take them down at 6:30, so based on that it will most
likely be Dax and I since we are the early risers in the household. Bobby will
join us later to pick them up. Ken will be busy doing soccer games. I am glad
to finally get them spayed since I really don’t want anybody going into heat.
It is bad enough if one of them were to, but two kitties in heat at the same
time would be hell.
Time to rock this day to hopefully pass the time quickly. I
have way too much life at home to tend to and work just slows me down.
