Time Well Wasted

So, today I accomplished absolutely nothing... Well, nothing that I had PLANNED to accomplish, anyway. My plan was to avoid working today and focus on cleaning the house instead. My husband is (supposed to be) coming home for leave in a couple of weeks, and I want the house to be spotless for him, so my plan is to do a deep clean on every room in the house. I went to bed last night feeling motivated and prepared to spend the day today cleaning. However, I woke up this morning with working on my brain...

I spent a couple hours this morning uploading the products in my new birthday section to Froogle, then I added Google Analytics to my site and did a little bit of reading up on marketing. I was satisfied with leaving work alone for the rest of the day after that, and I did. I did not, however, focus on cleaning the house...

While cooking Jillian's lunch and waiting for her to finish eating it, I cleaned out and organized ONE kitchen cabinet! I threw out expired things (some pasta, grits, box dinners that looked good enough to buy, but never quite good enough to try out once I got them home...) and organized the canned goods. After that I went and layed Jillian down for her nap and chatted with my husband on Yahoo Messenger for about an hour. He had access to a webcam today, and seeing his fresh haircut and cute smile made me even more excited to think of him being home soon! After our chat (which didn't seem long enough- they never do), I went and scrubbed the toilet. How fun! That was the extent of my cleaning for the day.

I spent the next few hours curled up in bed with my new comforter and Nicholas Sparks (well, one of his novels, anyway). I felt like taking a nap, but I was just too into the book to stop reading. Just after I had finally convinced myself to put the book down and close my eyes, I heard Jillian calling out "Mommyyyyy!" No nap for me!

We cuddled and read a book before I made dinner. Now dinner has been eaten and we are sitting on the couch watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and drinking Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade.

Yeah... It's been a lazy day. I guess I needed a break though.
