**Sorry this is long, I have a lot to say and get off my chest**
Goodness gracious, Mama, don't wear yourself out. Dh always tells me they're just men, they won't notice. Hehe.
Sorry, that wasn't helpful was it? Hope you get everything done that you want!
As for me, it's my second day back from my trip to Texas. Yesterday was pretty tiring, getting things unpacked and put away (luckily I had the forthought to do my laundry at my parent's before we left....yay), and going grocery shopping. Rather embarassing, but while I was gone, DH left also for a business trip and our in-laws were to take care of the cats. My FIL came over and decided that he "Just couldn't take it" and cleaned my house. I was a little upset, as I had left specific instructions for NO ONE to clean my house while I am gone (my ILs have a habit of doing this...I try to clean before I leave, but it's not always attainable). It's so embarassing to know someone else thinks my house is dirty and then say something about it. So now we're trying to keep the house the way it was when we got home. So far, so good. I actually made the bed this morning. There are toys out in the living room, but I was wedding out old toys from Hope's bins to bring to our store for customer's kids to play with. Now I need to clean up the remaining mess. Today is the day I'm supposed to do the weekly duties in the bedrooms. This is what I've done so far today and what I have left to do:

Guess I better start on the bedrooms before Hope wakes up from her nap. Don't wanna. LOL. Part of me is so paranoid that I'm just going to go back to my old ways. I'm scared to sit down and rest, although I know as should as growing a baby isn't exactly a walk in the park energy wise. I know that if I sit for too long, it will look as though a hurricane came through. I'm trying very hard not to try and go through too much of the clutter at once as I know it will just create MORE clutter. I dunno. I'm rambling now. I just HATE BEING A MESSIE!
