Today we both slept in remarkably late (black-out curtains strike again!) and almost immediately began cleaning up the place. Somehow we have fallen behind the cleaning curve in this place and today was in dire need of some catch up. So far, so good. Most of the laundry is done, there's no dirty dishes lying around the place, the bathroom is cleaned and organized, and we managed to organize our tools. I still see all the other tasks that need to get done, and realize - yet again - that housework will never be done, and I should simply be grateful there is no mold growing on anything it shouldn't grow on at this point.
All mothers - I applaud and admire you. I have no idea how you do it - I can barely keep up with our own mess, let alone the mess of other's who can't help themselves!
We did take a few breaks to chill out and watch some shows. We watched "Something the Lord Made," the true story of Vivien Thomas, an african american, who contributed largely to the field of cardiac surgery - in fact was a pioneer - without education beyond high school and during the 50's when racism was no joke. I highly recommend watching it.
On a side note: tomorrow we are taking a massage class for couples offered by the local hospital. I'm tremendously excited, and will send you all a report on how it goes!
