Good Intentions

I am a person with good intentions lots of times. I don't really consider this a good thing because of my lack of follow through. My mom is the type with good intentions and always follows through. Me... I don't always follow through. I am a procrastinator. I admit it. I need help! But NOT today, haha. Today, I decided first thing this morning, would be a day of nothing but kid-mommy time. No cleaning, no working on anything, no mom's tv time (which I usually don't get a chance to do anyway). Just play/game time all day long!

Let me start with yesterday. Nana called KL yesterday morning to see if she wanted to go eat lunch. As many of you know, me and my MIL don't always get along. In fact, lately we seldom get along. We just have different ideas and beliefs. I will not get into any details of this in this blog because my blood pressure doesn't need to go up. I will say that I do not keep my kids away from her (or my husband but that is another blog for another day!). Yesterday, KL wanted to go and I said yes she could. So, Nana arrives at the house and gives hugs and kisses to the girls and her and KL leave. AC decided to take a nap. What's a mom to do?

I had been trying to find time to scrub my bedroom floor. My bedroom is the hardest floor to scrub. AC's room has small furniture and a large open space in the middle. Easy to move things to the center, scrub the outside and then move things back. KL's bed is a bunk that has no bottom bed. It is a desk. This leaves almost all of her floor open for the same routine as AC's room. My bedroom, however, is the smallest room with the biggest furniture. It is harder to move things around. I decided with the girls both settled in other activities it was a good time to scrub the floor.

Fast forward to today...

We all woke up in an extra good mood. AC was even giving KL sweet baby kisses and I am usually the only one who gets those. *SMILES* I had AC on my shoulder and KL leaned in close to tell her good morning. AC was quick and leaned right over and gave her a big open mouth sweet baby kiss right on her cheek. I decided right then and there that today was going to be an extra good day and I was spending time with my girls only and any cleaning could wait.

I stepped out of the bed and saw the mess. The dog. At this moment, my first thought was "the stupid dog!" Can't blame him though. Apparently in the middle of the night, Bubba (our Yorkie) had a little bit of tummy trouble. There was a mess in the middle of my floor! The freshly scrubbed floor!!!

Oh my! I settled the girls in the living room with breakfast and headed back to the bedroom to clean up the mess. Wasn't too hard to clean it up but I wasn't thinking and put the paper towels in the bathroom trash can. About 30 minutes later, I went into the bathroom and WHEW! This lead to me taking out the trash and then scrubbing down the entire bathroom to rid of the smell.

So much for my non-cleaning day. At least all this was done in the morning hours and I have this afternoon to do nothing but play!
