A Clean Home is Happy Home

There's something about a clean house with all the laundry and dishes done that makes me feel like I am the best wife ever. Don't get me wrong, Sir Sunderland and I share household responsibilities. It's just that occasionally one of us gets lazy (me) and without my nagging and doing of things, this place deteriorates at a rapid pace.

Since I have changed my schedule at work to nights I have a lot of free time in the mornings. It is typically spent either sleeping, walking the dog, watching Friends or cleaning. This morning I woke up to the sun shining and a hair up my butt. The carpet is vacuumed, the kitchen swept and dishes done. There is not a scrap of laundry to be found in the hampers and as I sit here enjoying my tea with milk and oreos, I feel a sense of pride. I can take care of my family and that makes me happy.

I have a fair amount of mornings free as well. Sometimes I'm able to get up and moving, but most of the time I just sleep in and veg. It's going to be really HARD to get used to my summer work schedule because I start at 7:30 instead of 11!
