Hooray - Daddy's home!

The doggies' daddy, that is. Picked him up yesterday from the airport. We had dinner out to catch up, then he played his new video game and I cleaned the bedroom. Now we're both home for awhile, so we just get to sit back and see what life unfolds for us this summer.

I'm really kind of anxious/excited to see if we will get orders anywhere this year. I am anxious/worried that we will get orders where we can't take all our dogs. I guess we would cross that bridge when we come to it. Then again, we could get someplace really cool where we can bring the dogs along. Hoping it's the latter.

I think I'm going to join Planet Fitness this week. The thought of jogging and being outside sounds completely horrible. Even if it's at night it's still ridiculously warm.

Still trying to keep up with daily chores and my room "zones" that I set up a long time ago. Last night went well. I am determined to keep up with it every day. I have to. I hate living in a disaster zone.

I Suck at Housekeeping

Or rather, I should say that I suck at KEEPING UP with it. I am pretty good at it when I have time to do it. I have a daily schedule and weekly schedule I would like to stick to. However, any little thing that comes to throw off my schedule usually can and does. Home visits for the dogs, running errands, and just choosing to spend a night on quality time together [like a Starbucks/Barnes & Noble night :)]have a way of popping up.

I will admit that about half the time I'm off my schedule is because I'm too tired to get at it. The whole having energy deal is another issue in and of itself. I'm trying to take better care of myself so I can take better care of my household, hubby, and pups.

Today I:

1. took care of the dogs (letting them in and out all day, feeding them, watering them, cleaning up after them, and giving them their monthly heartguard).

2. paid the bills, tracked the budget

3. did my daily chores including: make the bed, de-clutter the whole house & put stuff where it belongs, sort the mail, dishes, counters, sweep, empty the trash, and two loads of laundry.

4. putzed around in the yard, picking up random trash that blew in with the storm and putting yard tools up on the patio.

I still have to feed the dogs dinner, shower, and do some laundry so I have something to wear to work this week. Can't go naked. Yikes. That's an ugly thought.


Not housekeeping-related.
