It was like spring outside today, bright blue sky, brilliant yellow sun, with just the right touch of coolness to the air.  It was the perfect day for a run.

Not a cloud in the sky

But sadly I didn’t have time for a run today.  I was too busy doing this…

Squeaky clean

I waited an hour to see if the a cleaning lady was going to show up, but apparently she got lost.  Hey a girl can dream.  Don’t you just love my pink gloves though?  We got them at work for Breast Cancer Awareness Day.  I think they are fabulous!

I might not have a cleaning lady, but I do have a wonderful mother who graciously offered to clean my entire house take the little guy out for a few hours.  Since my husband was working, I had the house to myself.  I cranked up the music and set out to get this house clean.

Now I live like I’m always expecting a pop in guest so my house is never what anyone would perceive as dirty. However, life has been all kinds of hectic lately and I just haven’t been able to do more than spot clean and vacuum incessantly.  I ♥ my Featherweight Bissell! I also love to do laundry.  I very rarely have to tackle Mount Laundry because I am always throwing in a load.

So today was all about getting down and dirty with the dirt or actually dust in my house’s case.  I am trying not to revisit the rooms I have already cleaned because I know the dust will have reappeared rendering my efforts useless.  I made a lot of headway today.  My house is not exactly large.  In fact it is a quaint old petite colonial.  I just had so much to do there was no way to get through it all in one day especially given the fact that I worked last night and have to work again tonight.

I will just have to do the bathroom and Carlos’ room tomorrow.  There are actually very good reasons that neither of those rooms were cleaned.  Carlos is now napping and I just cleaned his room at the beginning of the week.  It could still use a dusting though.  My excuse for not cleaning the bathroom is simply, I hate cleaning the bathroom.  There I said it!  I absolutely hate cleaning the bathroom.  I despise cleaning the toilet.  My old ugly floor tiles just never seem free from fly away hairs, dust and toddler pee.  The bathroom will get a quick wipe down in a minute but I refuse to go any deeper than that.  I have faith that a cleaning lady will show up tomorrow.

My husband is currently eating a crumbly granola bar in the living room with no napkin or plate to catch the crumbs.  Hmmm I think I know who will be cleaning the bathroom tomorrow.

Horrible photo I know.  With each day that passes I become convinced that a DSLR camera is necessary.

Awww but who am I kidding I know exactly who will be cleaning the bathroom tomorrow.

Carlos took this photo a while ago.  So perfectly expressive at this moment!  I must go to bed soon.  At least I have a 5K to look forward to after cleaning the dreaded bathroom tomorrow.  The weather looks clear and a little colder tomorrow.  Excellent running weather.  Enjoy the rest of your Saturday.
