I've decided that I need to make lots of posts this week to keep myself focused on the task at hand. Today is the first Friday of Lent and I only had one slip up, eating part of my daughter's pepperoni pizza. I may still be in the clear because she tends to eat all the pepperoni first but I feel like one may have gotten by her and landed in my mouth but I could be wrong.
Today was the first day of having our house cleaned by paid outsiders. I am really reluctant to pay people to do things that I can do myself. I really hate having strangers in the house and giving them access to look through everything. My husband is OK with all of that and just wants a clean house. Over the last three weeks at least one of my children has had a stomach bug. I only mention this because it throws off the schedule when they miss school consequently I have not been able to clean. If I am being brutally honest I can not do a thorough job. There is just no way, the kids mess up what ever room or floor they are left on while I clean, unless the TV is on but I limit TV time to mommy makes dinner alone hour. It is nearly impossible to have an entirely clean house UNLESS someone else does it. Well, I think I might be in love. Why have I been torturing myself (and consequently my husband)? This is money so well spent. Our little house is so clean and I love it this way!!
Me and my daughters walked into town with the carriage and picked up my son from school. We went to the coffee store and I got coffee and they got ring pops. We had a little pizza picnic outside the library and then went to story time. We met up with friends and played in the playground. I should have gotten a run in today but I got a good walk in so can't be too down on myself. Then we came home to this super clean house. I LOVE FRIDAYS!!! Heck, I just even enjoyed my cinnamon apple sauce snack which is zero points!
