Kicked It's Arse

Finished Last told me that productivity needed it's arse kicked, which is good because that's what I did today.

Despite my body fighting off an illness I cleaned my whole second floor. And not just any clean. Vacuuming along the walls and baseboards. Plus I put every tiny little toy I found along the way exactly where it belongs. On top of that I moved my son's bed to the inside wall. My kids are used to me moving furniture since I'm an Interior Designer. My son has been bugging me to move his bed. He remembers that this is the time of year I move the head of his bed off the outside wall.

So I moved and vacuumed and moved plus dusted. After that my daughter saw her brother's room and asked "Is my bed next?" I hadn't planned on doing that but she seemed excited. So after cleaning up the extremely messy toy room/4th bedroom I moved to her room giving it the same treatment as her brother's room.

It was worth it. When she saw her bed moved she screamed like it was Christmas morning. LOL. She was so excited and into the mood of things that she moved her little girl vanity (which is quite light) to another wall. I chuckled seeing that. Then I cleaned our bedroom suite.

Once that was completed I cleaned both the kids bathroom and ours. It took much longer than I planned since I did FAR more than anticipated. I'm just sitting down. My son got home and has CCD tonight so it's a busy night tonight. Instead of lounging around this afternoon I'll have to start dinner early.

This is not me complaining. It's me showing how proud I am that I got it all done. It's my job and it gives me great satisfaction at accomplishing it. Now I'm off to play with my daughter and her play makeup.

Cleaning jag and weird thoughts

With my decorations away I am on a cleaning jag. I'm fighting off one of my migraines (must talk to a doctor) and pondering the weird thoughts I have on ocassion.

My daugther had preschool this week as usual (which is wed-friday) and I drive across town to drop her off after sending my son off on his school bus. Then before lunch I pick her up again. In my drive I pass by my church. Outside they have built a new brick sign with the Parish's name on the top and under it is one of those digital signs or pixilated signs or whatever you call it. It has messages flashing on it or scrolling that can be programmed. Now I don't know how one works those things but an odd thought kept coming back to me as I drove by the sign each way.

It has a nice 'Have a Blessed Day' message followed by the mass schedule for the week. And that got me to thinking. What if the person in charge had a jokster moment and decided to alter the message for one hour one day and then flip it back to normal as if nothing happened.

I would find it kind of amusing if you drove by the sign and it said: "Run! Run for your lives! The end is here!" or near Easter it could say, "Special guest speaker: Jesus Christ. First 100 in the door get free IPods."

Okay, I feel better sharing my odd thoughts with you. Now my mind can move on. LOL
