You know I'm having kinda a weird/blah day in a way
but its not just one thing in particular. I know that housework is a never ending battle but I would at least like it "to be caught up enough" to be able to go do some fun things. Angel and I usually start when we get both Jason and TJ on the bus for school (TJ goes at 11 am and Jason at noon) and then we can go until around 6 pm but in that time we also have to get Alex down for a nap usually and any other running around--errands--that needs to be done. After school both boys go to the Learning Center and don't leave there until 6 pm. When they get home, there's not much we can do as far as deep cleaning because they just get in the way most of the time or go right behind us and mess it all up again.
Angel and I have a lot of fun together most days and we are finally getting things done up around the house--along with George's help some days--so that it won't be anything to get housework done and then we can do fun stuff. Its just getting it to that point that I really hate and is making me feel so blah today.
Since Nikki and Brian moved out into their own apartment, we have been getting that third bedroom all set up for the boys and man has it ever been a chore of sorts. We have had to clean out the closet, pick up the toys, through away garbage, and vacuum just so we could get their clothes hung up in the closet and have it look nice for them. I know that they won't keep it really clean--ie. toys all around, etc.--but it looks soooo much better and it will be easier to clean with all of Nikkis stuff out of there. The boys right now are sleeping on Lexie's old bed but soon we are going to get them some bunkbeds so that she can take her bed along with the rest of her stuff.
I have to say that it is much nicer now that we have gone through so much in this house and gotten rid of a lot of stuff. It is also nice that we have a room just for the boys and their toys. It was nice to have Nikki stay with us while Brian was gone but its also nice that we have that room just for the boys now.
Angel and I are getting used to doing stuff without Nikki's help now since she doesn't live here and when she does come over, all she does is just sit here. It's usually a struggle even to get her to do anything just for her sons--well it was before she left for a little bit also--so we just quit asking. Nikki and Brian have been a little surprised when I have told them that we didn't need their help all the time anymore and that we have had to learn to deal without them because they aren't here all the time--could have put Brian's whole foot in his mouth, hehehe. Don't get me wrong, we do welcome their help when they are here but just don't count on it anymore like we used to.
