Fabulous!!

It was a FABULOUS day! I feel like I got so much accomplished. I feel like I can leave tomorrow and feel good about the house being clean and chores being done. I love days like this.

I didn't leave the house at all today. Tanner and I cleaned the house together. Becuase I'm such a control freak, it's hard for me to let Tanner help me clean. I like to do it my way and I know that when I do it, it's done right. Today, I took a differnt approach with Tanner. I had her clean the sinks and the mirrors, along with put the new towels in. I then cleaned the tubs, the toilets and the floors. Doing it this way avoided me getting frustrated when the tub isn't spotless like I like it and yet at the same time, it all0wed Tanner to be responsible for part of it. She did great. She got her part done and she did a good job. She also helped me with laundry by sorting all of our clothes and helping fold. I'm glad that she's old enough to help out.

Steve worked on getting the rest of the boxes leftover from the flood unpacked. We hadn't put our bedroom back together since we got moved back in there. Sure we had our furniture, but nothing was on top of the dressers and there were still boxes of stuff on the floor. Well now, after "Stevie Stewart" got done, our room is now comfy and once again inviting. I'm so thankful for my husband's decorating abilities.

This afternoon, for the first time in I don't know how long, I was able to cuddle up on the couch with a blanket and a good book that I've started reading. It wasn't long before I drifted off for a little nap. It's been ages since I've done that and boy did it feel good!

I leave out tomorrow at 12:30. I'm a little nervous about it, to be honest. The thought of flying makes me a little nervous. Once we take off, I'll be just fine; it's just the anticipation that will make me nervous. I'm nervous too about leaving my family, even though it's only for three days. It feels wierd to be going somewhere fun, like Florida, without them. I feel like I'm cheating them or something. I'm sure the break will be good for all of us.
