What I did today...

This post is a little long, sorry.
Today, for the first time as far as I can remember, I didn't clean my house. My goal today was to get clean my car, which took me all day, but I did it, I got the car totally clean. I even borrowed my mother-in-law's steamer(if you have never used a steamer to clean I really recommend them, AMAZING!) and deep cleaned the darn car. It seriously took me from 9am till 3pm, and yes my poor baby was neglected and left to be entertained by Baby Einstein, but he did so so so good and I was able to get the whole car clean. Well it took me so long because I had to go to the school and do my PTA duty of weekly Fluoride Rinses for the 1st, 2nd & 3rd grades, then run a couple of errands, then give the baby lunch and a nap and walk Cameron to school because today was "Walk to school DAY". No wonder my house looks the way it does. I really can not believe that I am sitting here blogging when my house looks the way it does. I just took these pictures a few minutes ago.
After the kids got home from school I called Mark and told him we needed to go to Provo asap because if I sat in the house I was going to go crazy, it was a BIG mess and I didn't feel like cleaning it. So, Mark came home from work, we loaded up the kids and the boxes bound for DI and went to Provo. We dropped off the DI stuff, Mark even sat in the car with the kids so I could go in and browse hoping to find a treasure, (no luck) then we went on up to Cabela's. Dinner was a couple baskets of Cabela's fries and a coke. It was great seeing Hayden's reaction to all of the animals! At first he wasn't quite sure what to think and was a little scared, but then out came the cute little pointer finger and he was happy! He points at things and says "DO" then looks at us like, "Did you hear me, it's a DO?" SO darn cute!!!
Anyway... we got home around 9pm, tucked the kids in bed and now here I am DETERMINED NOT TO CLEAN MY HOUSE TONIGHT!!!!
Yeah, so I am probably a little, ok, A LOT OCD about messes, especially messy counter tops. I HATE THEM, it's all I can do not to turn around and clean up the mess. Mark says he's proud of me and that maybe I am turning over a new leaf, not likely, just a rare day! Do you see the round orange plate at the bottom of the picture? That is a plate that Mark left there at Lunch. And the ladder at the top of the picture was left there yeaterday. It is simply amazing that I have not picked them up, I am really shocked at myself. And the blankets, how easy are they to fold and put away? But NOPE, NOT gonna do it!
Yeah, those are scissors on the floor, left by Cam who was cutting out pictures for some homework, who's gonna pick them up? NOT ME.
The rug in the entry way in the picture below, the shoes, the jackets...AHHHHHH I am not picking it up, nope not tonight.
I might have to BLOG all night just to keep my hands busy doing something besides cleaning!

My car looks really good though, maybe I will go sleep in it!!
