Too Much Cleaning

This morning I dropped Evan off at school and Noah, Lizzy, and I met Melissa at the lake. We walked the 3 mile loop. It was a little cool outside at first, but it warmed up and was very nice toward the end of the walk.

After the walk I went to Alamo Draft House to get a gift certificate for Alissa and then Old Navy to return some clothes.

On the way home around 12:00 I got a call saying the cleaning lady will not be able to come tomorrow. I scheduled the cleaning a few weeks ago. I purposely scheduled it for tomorrow morning to get the house cleaned before Noah’s party. The owner of the cleaning company asked if we could schedule for next week, but I said that wouldn’t work and that I needed someone to come tomorrow. He said he’d see if anyone else could come and would call me back later in the afternoon.

At home I fed Noah and ate lunch and then we picked Evan up at school.

As I was putting the boys down for naps the cleaning guy called and left a message saying he was not able to get anyone to come tomorrow.

I frantically started cleaning. The house really needed to be cleaned. As I was cleaning the upstairs bathroom, I saw Evan’s door open. I’m not sure he napped at all. I needed to keep cleaning, so I left him play in the gameroom with his GeoTrax while I cleaned. I cleaned from about 2:00-5:30 (when Morry got home) and still didn’t get everything done. I was absolutely exhausted.

I had plans to meet Alissa and some of her friends for Alissa’s birthday. We were meeting at a restaurant at 7:30.

I made myself coffee to wake me up and give me some energy and then got ready to go out.

Yenis came over at 7:00 and we went together in my car to the restaurant.

We had a nice time at dinner and then went downtown.

South by Southwest Festival is going on right now and I was sure it was going to be crowded and there wouldn’t be any parking spots. Somehow we lucked out and got a free parking spot on the street. We walked around downtown and sat at a bar for a little bit. I just got home at 12:30 and I’m absolutely exhausted.

Morry did some cleaning while I was gone. There is still cleaning to do tomorrow. Blanca is coming tomorrow at 10:00am so I can finish.

Tomorrow will be another busy day. Whew
