Can you imagine, a whole week of giving my time and energy outside of the home, and my home gets neglected. It's just shocking, I know. Well, I did do several family things this week with my girls. Thursday we went to the pool for a couple hours, and Friday I took them to Ready, Set, PLAY!, an inflatable wonderland of sorts. So between outings like that, and being out of the house EVERY evening this week, there's a pile of dishes and laundry waiting for me today. Hooray. (I hope the sarcasm shines through.)
Generally speaking, I'm not a good housekeeper. I just don't stay on top of the day to day tasks that are required to maintain a clean house. I can clean, and I do a good job of it when I do it. But then a few days go by, and it looks like the "maid" needs to come again. *Sigh.*
So in weeks where my attention is diverted, like VBS week, the normal daily maintenance tasks pile up higher, and more dauntingly than usual. I try not to do laundry on the weekends, so that my husband doesn't have to deal with piles of clothes around waiting their turn in the machines, but this week, it has to be that way. And the dishes... I was whisking my big girl off to VBS as soon as she could swallow her last bite of dinner every night. There wasn't time for me to deal with dishes until I came home each night around 8:35, ready to take a breather. (That's not to say that someone else couldn't have stepped in a little, but I really didn't make it easy. The dishwasher was full of clean dishes for most of the week.)
I'm really laying it all out there for everyone, aren't I. Oh well. I guess I'm real.
Today I put on Mary Poppins for the girls, so "Chim-Chim-Cheree" is currently in my head. I think it's time to put on my iPod and change that up. I need an aural "cleansing of the palate". It's not that I don't love Mary Poppins. I just don't want to be singing that for the REST OF THE DAY, and trust me, if I don't do something about this soon, I will.
