First Day of Summer

Wow, so can I say again what a slacker I am?  Seriously, I am going to make an effort to be more diligent with my blogging.  On a different note, on this the first day of summer, I decided to do some summer cleaning.  Do you ever look around your house and think to yourself, "Man, I am living in a pig sty?!" 

 Well I find that on occasion this happens to me.  Life gets a little crazy, school is making you want to pull your hair out, your husband is working days on end, and things just seem to pile up.  So this afternoon, I got off work and let my puppies out to enjoy the beautiful summer sunshine.  Then I got out my cleaning bucket and got to work.  I didn't clean as vigorously as I normally would because I have some free time this weekend and decided to do it well and right rather than rushing through to get everything done before I go to bed.  I must admit that I LOVE the smell of Gain laundry detergent and am totally pumped about all the cleaning products lately smelling like Gain.  I used my Mr. Clean with Gain cleaner this afternoon and am thoroughly enjoying my entire house smelling like a load of laundry.

Needless to say, with Justin at work, my list of tasks is quite long as I like to keep myself busy...otherwise I find that the saying, "Idle hands do the devil's handiwork," is quite true and I end up either talking to myself too much or spending money that I simply don't have.  So while the hubby is at work, I will be cleaning, reading for school, and making some super cute Mr. and Mrs. pillows for my bed (photos to follow).
