What I Did on My Day Off!

Yesterday as y'all know I enjoyed a "day off" while the boys were at their grandma's. So this is how I spent it! I first steam cleaned my living room floors and then mopped all the tile! They look soooooo much better now! Then I headed out to go get some paint to touch up all our walls. They're looking really bad from little one's hands and little one's banging into the corners and chipping off the paint! Then I decided to head to Goodwill for some junk shopping! I found these goodies and I'm planning on painting them white and putting them up in my room.


Then I found this bread maker for $20! Now I just have to figure out how to use it!


After Goodwill I headed to Wal-mart to buy the boys Toy Story 1 & 2 and some pj's for their Easter baskets! Then I rounded off my "day off" with a trip to Sonic for a vanilla Dr. Pepper!


 Then after Ethan got home from school we headed over to my MIL's house to pick the boys up. After we got home it all was back to normal!


Notice not only were they crawling on my coffee table, they threw all my pillows off the couch! Oh well it was nice while it lasted! Ha! I.m off to pay bills (oh joy, what fun!), do some laundry, clean something, and I'm trying to get motivated to go grocery shopping. Hope y'all have a happy Thursday!!!

    It sounds like you had a very productive day. Now next time, you need to take a little portion of that day and do a few things to pamper you. I always take a couple of hours on the day that my mom watches Jacob and go out to lunch with a friend. It really is one of the highlights of my week. I look forward to it so much. :)

    I've been trying to eat healthy (which doesn't always work) But I'm really working on drinking water and juice instead of coke. And the main thing is P90X. It'll kick your butt. Having a partner really helps too. My hubby has been trying to do the same thing I am! Good Luck with your weight loss - not that you need to lose any!! http://mothertobee.blogspot.com/2010/03/weigh-in-week-11.html

    I am so glad to find out that yours always have the cushions in the floor too. Bryce always takes my pillows and blankets off our couch and puts them in the floor! Drives me nuts! Hope you enjoyed your time.

    What a fabulous day! I love cleaning when I'm alone. It gets done so much quicker, right?!

    And I can't wait to see your finds when you paint them--what a fab idea!
