I could almost believe

So I did drink too much last night but, unlike last week, it wasn’t because I was feeling badly about the way that things had gone.  Instead, it was almost the opposite.  We were having too much fun watching videos and talking and we each probably had too many.  It was a fun night.

I surprised myself yesterday but cleaning the house and the pool.  I wanted to do both, but as the day wore on, I started to get sore and tired from all of the rehearsals I’ve been to this week.  I came home completely convinced that I was just going to lie down on the bed until it was time to take Elissa off to dance.

What greeted me, when I walked through the door, was Dana busy picking up the kitchen and cleaning the bathrooms.  Apparently she had a conference to go to on Friday and wouldn’t be able to take care of things around the house so she was trying to get out in front of it.  I joined in.

My specialty is the floors so I vacuumed, swept, and mopped.  Once that was done, the kiddo headed off to shower while Dana worked on transferring files from her phone to her computer.  Since everyone was busy, I cleaned the pool.

Don’t get me wrong, with all of the work going on at the house my floors aren’t pristine and the pool was so bad that one cleaning isn’t going to cut it but, things are moving in the right direction.  I almost feel optimistic about stuff right now.  Like, if I close my eyes, I could almost believe that I’d be able to finish the house remodel by summer and lose 10 pounds.
