Mad Clean Up = Success!

judecorpSo I definitely made the right choice in sending Punk to child care today. Not only did she have a fantastic time (she always does), but I got So! Much! Done!
I started by taking out the garbage and the recycling, and then doing some general tidying, mostly going under and behind things finding all of Punk's toys. Then I disassembled her Play Wall and some other stuff in her room, and rotated some toys. Then I vacuumed the entire house, which was desperately needed. I changed the vacuum bag and when I went to put the vacuum away, I realized that the coat closet was a disaster, so I cleaned that out, too - just in time for coat weather.
From there, I put clean sheets on all of the beds, including Punk's crib. I washed Punk's clothes, washed all of the diapers, washed the sheets and blankets, and put a winter blanket on our bed. I bagged up Jen's dry cleaning that was on the floor and bagged up the deposit bottles/cans so they can both be dropped off tomorrow. I cleaned the kitchen (stove, counters), emptied the dishwasher, filled it back up, and washed all of the pots and pans. I brought everything that was meant to go to the basement down (finally) and put away Punk's and my clean laundry. I did some general tidying of our bedroom, and made Punk's mostly immaculate. I washed the dining room floor (thank you, food-throwing toddler) and the table. I filled the crock pot with a grass-fed beef pot roast, some potatoes, and some carrots. And then I took a shower and headed to the RMV to renew my driver's license.
Phew!!
Jen picked Punk up after work and we met at the mall. We got a couple of games for the Wii, some batteries, and some toddler crack, I mean, Gerber yogurt melts. (Punk is so addicted to them that she tries to eat the package.)
I feel so much better about the house right now. I ran out of time and steam before tackling the bathroom, but that's all that's left so it can be done over the weekend - no big deal. Aaaaaah. And dang, dinner was good. And I don't even LIKE beef!
