Summer Chore Fail

I wanted to finish the bathroom this summer. Then, my youngest returned to the nest. I had forgotten what a slob she is. There is no way I can get that bathroom clean while she is home. I will have to wait until she returns to school this fall.

I don't remember a summer when I didn't get to finish the project that I laid out for myself. I feel like a big failure.

Oh, I have completed other chores and other small projects. I have read tons of books - both fun and serious. But, I haven't completed the bathroom. It keeps gnawing at my brain. I am just not going to get it done. I. AM. JUST. NOT.

Weekend at Home

Sometimes it feels as though we are just never here. We seem to be on the go ALL THE TIME.  I spent most of last week with one side of the family or another up in West Virginia. I made multiple trips back and forth to my home state.

This weekend, we are home bodies. I am loving the time here in my own home. I love being able to catch up on chores and being able to enjoy my tiki porch. I love the slower non-traveling pace.

Today, I finished washing down the refrigerator. I took it all apart, piece by piece, and washed it all down. I hate that chore but always feel so accomplished when I see my refrigerator all cleaned out and shining like new.

Of course, along with a shiny clean refrigerator, I also have to have clean floors and counters. So, I cleaned those as well. Now, I have a nice clean kitchen for cooking and serving dinner. My youngest is home from college for the summer - this means that the nice clean kitchen will last about 30 seconds after she gets home from work! Well, at least I got to look at it for 30 seconds, right?

Tomorrow, we have NO PLANS. I am as happy as a clam. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? I really like thinking of all the possibilities.
