My image of me as a domestic goddess!!!
This is actually what I looked like today!!!!
Have you ever had one of those days where it seems like a really good idea to do something? and then 6 hours later - you wish you had never started!!! NO???? Well I have and today was one of them.....
When I got up this morning, I decided that as I was not working today and my 2 delightful children were spending the day at a friends - that I would have a little spring clean - you know the kind - just an hour or so - flicking a duster around and maybe a quick hoover here and there.
Well, that was the plan, but - as usual - once I got started I couldn't decide where to stop and what should have been a 'quick' sort out/spring clean became a 6 hour cleaning/tidying and sorting frenzy!!!! Admittedly the place looks alot better and the bin is full to the brim with stuff I have 'Spring cleaned' away - but I am totally exhausted and am in need of a shower and my bed (it is only just after 5pm). Just before the kids came home I looked in the mirror and scared myself - the messy haired - no makeup'd face staring back was infact me and not some mad woman who had broken in the place!!!!
My visions of being a domestic goddess are all but gone - and I look more like I have been wrestling with a giant bear all day (don't see many of them in these parts!!!!).

I think I need a rest now and maybe I will leave the spring cleaning - maybe a magic little elf will come in the night and finish it off for me (or maybe not!!).

I love the feeling when you can just sit back and admire a clean and tidy home. You can't beat it!
I need to take a leaf out of your book and try to spring clean my house!
Hope your sitting back now with your feet up with a nice chilled glass of wine! You deserve it!

i hope you've had a glass or two of chilled wine, a long bubble bath, and are kicked back as well:D
hugs,
dani
ps...don't count on that elf... i did once, but it never came to fruition, lol!!!
I have had the bubble bath and 2 glasses of wine - I feel semi human again and the place looks nice and clean (still lots more to do though!!!) - I think you are right about that Elf though Dani - there's no sign of him yet!!!
Love and Hugs,
