A huge, monstrous weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel happy and free and able to do what I need to get done. Whatever did you do LM??? Well....
I hired some cleaning people to come help me unmess my house. It was fantastic what they were able to accomplish in 2 short hours. Plus I had a friend come over too and she took care of the kids' rooms. The house looks amazing and I feel amazing and it's all wonderful again. I can breathe!!! Granted, there are a few messes to get through. But guess what??? I don't feel overwhelmed by them. I can clean up and it's not a big deal. I feel like I can relax until Hubby gets home instead of stressing over all the mess that's so overwhelming I don't even know where to get started.
Of course I helped the cleaning people. I didn't make everyone work while I sat with my feet up. I was energized by all the help. I started with the dining room and my bedroom. I didn't know we had a floor! Lol!
Even Hubby noticed how happy I was. I was dancing in my chair while video-chatting with him. Yes, he's still in a land far far away. He will be back around 1:30 AM Sunday. I will be awake I think. I don't think I can sleep. I'm so excited he will finally be coming home. I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss him.
I have planned Monday morning, after the kids have been taken to school, as the time we will spend reconnecting. With everything so busy and out of control, it's nice to know we can at least spend a few hours with each other, without interruption.
I know...this is a totally non-DD post. I went all vanilla on ya. You love me anyway.... (((hugs)))
Well good...glad you found a solution for the house problems. Now just stay on top of things until Hubby gets home and all will be well! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on it! ((hugs))
DeleteHi LM. I am so glad for you!! It's amazing what a clean house can do for you!! Sooo much stress gone!! Glad you had a terrific day! :)
ReplyDeleteYes. I love it!! ((Hugs))
DeleteLife is so much better in an organized house. You can pretty much guess my mood by what shape the house is in. If I get in a funk and let things go.....my mood takes a slide. Fortunately or unfortunately Ryan has noticed this....and I have a list of things to accomplish each day. Nothing out of the ordinary....just things to focus on for that day. I swear I had housecleaning ADD or something....I would start one chore, than get distracted. Nothing ever got completed....this helped me focus.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, vanilla or not, I am happy for you. I know that has to be a ton of stress gone! Yay for you :)
Los! I totally understand housecleaning ADD! ((hugs))
DeleteThat was supposed to be lol. Sheesh!
DeleteIsn't that a wonderful feeling. :D
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea and it only took a short time to get things perking! It must have seemed much worse to you than it really was.
I think the time together with hubby is perfect! I have always wanted to have Ian all to myself for an entire weekend, and we wouldn't get out of bed.
We have gone away, but we always get sick of laying there and have to go exploring the countryside.
Happy for you that hubby will soon be home.
big big happy hugs,
Lillie
Oh no Lillie...It was Baaaaaaad! We have to have time together to reconnect, especially after 2 weeks. I miss him so much!!! ((hugs))
DeleteGlad you are feeling better, I know how that can be overwhelming, although I love to organize, so I would probably had had a field day helping out. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Julia! I would love your help organizing. Lol. ((hugs))
DeleteHi LM, sorry, I didn't get to commenting on your previous post. So glad you sorted things out and are now feeling much better and can concentrate on looking forward to Hubby coming home - not long to go now :)
ReplyDeleteI know Roz...I am so excited he's coming back!! ((hugs))
DeleteExcellent!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like regaining a bit of control. I really hope you can enjoy the rest of his time away without too much stress. I wonder if the clean house and bedrooms will even help your little ones.
Here's to him being home quickly!
Susie, the kids are ecstatic about their clean rooms. They were running all over the house, happy as all get out. I'm hoping we can keep it that way. Hubby will be home soon!!! ((hugs))
DeleteYou sound so positive! I love it. Let the count down to Sunday morning begin!
ReplyDeleteOh I am dancin' Tess! ((hugs))
DeleteGood for you!! I think sometimes just getting started is the hardest part. I know you'll keep the ball rolling. Hey, today is Thursday......Not much longer.....;)
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for Sunday! ((hugs))
