Our Place So Far

[sitamommy]

On Sunday night, I tackled the kitchen, and I promised myself that I wouldn't go to sleep until it was perfect.  I don't know what got into my husband, but he started to clean the living room with the same conviction I did the kitchen.  I never asked him to do a thing;  I saw him watching the football game, so I never even bothered.  What a nice surprise!

Everything in those two rooms was perfect by 10pm.  We stood back, admiring each others' work.  I had the best night's sleep, mainly because of the peace of mind I felt knowing the messiest rooms in the house were under control again!!

We've still got 3 more rooms to clean, but hey it's a start.  It's Tuesday night, and those 2 rooms still look great!  Hopefully I can get to the other rooms before Friday.

On a side note, I was really, really happy that my husband jumped in and helped out.  I don't mean to sound harsh, but the man has not really helped me clean in quite some time.  Don't get me wrong, because the first 3 years we were married, we'd divide up the chores 50/50.  I don't know what happened after we had children.

I hope I can get this kind of cooperation much more often!!   :)
