^ I wish I could as relaxed as Canoodle is right now.

My parents, grandma and great grandma are coming to dinner tonight. Despite my efforts, my house is still a bit of a mess. It's not terrible. Thomas and I have been tackling the kitchen off and on all weekend. Most of the dishes are clean.

It's mostly just STUFF. Stuff is everywhere. There are chargers here and there, onions on the table, the picnic basket fell onto the ground by the doorway, clean laundry on the chair ready to be put away, tons of dirty laundry in every room, kitty litter around the bathroom, the shower needs to be cleaned and the toilet should be scrubbed. Those are the dirtiest jobs ahead.

Between the heat and my headache (and the fact that Thomas is at work,) I keep having to motivate myself. The best way I have found is just telling myself. "Ok, for the next half hour don't clean. Just move things to where they belong." Even with that plan in mind I get sudden urges to grab the windex and sparkle up whatever area it was I was working in.

I am also expecting my wedding ring today <3 Thomas bought it for me. Here it is!! UPS said to expect it today. Sometime before 4pm??

*looks at the clock*

It is 3:50 now, I am going to go check as a break from cleaning.
