Originally our Sunday plans included getting some breakfast from McDonald’s to eat at home (healthy, I know, but so good) and then we were going to go to a nice big park that has a pond, a play park, and lots of farm animals (including a pen with goats, where you can go in and pet them which is always fun).

Unfortunately when I took the dog out this morning, it was raining so that was out. Breanna already has a bad cough and I’ve gone and developed one myself so there was no way we were going out in the damp drizzle just to see goats.

We did get breakfast though, so at least there was that.

Since we were staying home anyway there was no way for me to continue to be in denial of the mess that was Hayley and Breanna’s room so I embarked on that once I was done with breakfast. After six hours I finally emerged, exhausted. However the bright side is that seasonal clothing has been switched out, with t-shirts and shorts being packed away and long sleeve shirts and jeans taking up residence in the drawers. I also threw out three bags of garbage (don’t ask what I threw out, even the kids don’t know what’s gone), packed up another garbage bag with clothing for the donation bin, and now the whole room is sparkling clean.

Let’s hope it stays that way for at least a week or I may end up in a padded room.

I’m exhausted after all of that. Between that, making supper, washing the dishes, and making a run to the store for toilet paper it was all I could do to say goodnight to the kids so I could crash on the couch with George to share some red wine and watch Criminal Minds re-runs on A&E.

And now I’m going to go watch the end of the show while sampling the dark chocolate with sea salt that I bought while at the store. People have been talking about it relentlessly on Twitter and God knows I can’t resist chocolate or salt, so together it should be perfect.

I hope your Sunday was more relaxing than mine!
