Ok. Once again I did some shopping. Once again, a lot of work. This time ballet stuff for DD who goes to a dance camp. I only had two tan tights for her. That meant I had to wash the tights at least every other day. Plus, if one disappears (and in my home that’s a likelihood) I would only have one and would have to wash every day. (Oh, god no!!!!) So I ordered two more today. Plus a sleeveless leotard. Apparently, the girls stop using the short sleeved ones at this age. However, we have five or six at home, and they still fit DD, so I bought just one sleeveless for her. I would have liked to have bought more, but what about the ones she has. I feel kinda guilty, but i’m not made of money, ya know. This site had a google checkout, but didn’t give me the google discount, damnit. So I lost $10. I have taken advantage of it before, and apparently that’s why, but I used a different email. I guess it goes according to the computer you’re using.
I had a most accomplished day yesterday. DD10 was supposed tohave a playdate. She has been keeping her room veryneat over the last month or so (no thanks to me, mind you.)Altho a lot of her stuff just gets stuffed in the closet or her drawers.(However, that’s better than I can do with my BR.) Anyway,I wanted to make the other rooms a little more receptivefor another 10yo, so I got up at 4am and did the following:1. Vacuumed daughter's room2. cleared the front hallway path (there was a path before,But I had empty briefcases there from a vacation in April,so the path was kinda cut in half) 3. made about 4 or 5 washes (fell behind again and am trying to catch up)4. Went thru lots of papers that were on the living room floor and recycled most of them5. Washed broiler pan6. Scooped cat litter7. Swished and swiped both bathrooms (hadn’t done that in a long time.) oh, swished and swiped is a flylady term.8. Vacuumed part of the living room.Prob would have done more of it, but then daughter’s girlfriend’s father called and said that the friend was being very rude to her mother so theywere punishing her by not allowing her to have the playdate.Well, thank goodness DD wasn’t that disappointed.(And I was glad that I had an accomplished day, even if "only" the family could enjoy it.)Of course this was all during commercials of monk (my favorite show) marathon.And last night we went to see the fireworks. A good day, indeed. The reason I am singing my cleaning praises is that I am no balabusta. (For those of you who don’t know the meaning of that Jewish word, it’s a person -prob applies to a woman- who’s well on top of the cleaning in her home. Well, I am not. It is a constant challenge for me. I hate, hate, hate to clean. I actually hate to do most things. However, I must sign off now, (much to your chagrin, i'm sure.) Prob touch base with you tomorrow.
