Accomplished

Today was one of those days when i actually feel like i accomplished something out of the ordinary. I've been cleaning off and on for the lady on base. And she had me come out and clean today. It's nice to know that she thinks i do a good enough job to keep having me come back out. When she sent me the e-mail asking if i were still cleaning, she said "cause you always do a better job than me". That made me feel really good. Then today, i didn't get to finish the stove he way i know we both like it to be done since my fibro had me hurting so bad i couldn't scrub hard enough :( So i sent her an e-mail to let her know that if she wanted, i could come back out and get it done right tomorrow morning. Instead, she just sent me a return e-mail saying that it was ok, especially since they are just going to trash it Thursday anyway, lol. And then she said the rest of the house looked good, and she especially liked the small touches that i did. I folded the towel in her bathroom when i hung it back up on the towel rack. I made the kids beds up and straightened the blankets. I put the toys where they belong. And i even folded some of the clothes back into their places in her sons bedroom. Just stuff that my mom taught me to do when i was cleaning. Basically, it's as if we were going to show it to someone super important. Make it THAT clean. So that's what i do. And i'm just glad it shows, and that it's appreciated.

But by the time i was done, i was useless. I was so tired that i couldn't sleep. I hurt so bad that i could barely hold my arms up, and even typing right now makes them hurt and feel very tired. I'm still feeling very very drained. It's exhausting. i know that it's ok, since Ivy doesn't have school tomorrow, so we are just gonna stick around and do the stuff that needs to be done. Gotta order another star ornament, and finish the ones i've got. Gotta finish a neclace that needs to be shipped soon. Then i'm gonna make a garland for OUR tree :) Then sometime the next few days i want to finish painting my noble armada ships, and put the rest of my warmachine models together. Tomorrow though we need to focus on the deserts for thursday. I'm making mini cheesecakes, and ruben is making apple cobler. :) Gonna be yummy. Just gotta get it done before he goes to bed so it can be done without us having to rush around tomorrow night, or early thursday morning. HOPEFULLY he will be able to come with us to eat thursday, but even if he doesn't, the girls and I will go and enjoy it and just bring him home some stuff. That's the one holiday he rarely ever gets to enjoy with the family. Maybe we can let him take the day off next year. He doesn't seem to hate it, so i guess we will see what happens.

Right now i'm waiting on a phone call, then i'm gonna put Desiree to bed, take some painkillers, and maybe a muscle relaxer so i can actually get some sleep. I'm exhausted, and i think i might be too tired to sleep, which if you've ever been to that point, you know it really sucks. Ruben said he is gonna let me sleep in tomorrow, and then we will get up and go to the store to pick up the stuff we need for the deserts. I seriously wish we could just sleep all day, but alas, we said we'd do deserts. BLAH. Guess that's part of the holidays, lol. Something i'm still getting used to, since we didn't celebrate as kids.

I am so ready for christmas. Got LOTS in the works already, so it will be awesome. Bookmarks, hats, purses, maybe a scarf, jewelry, and that's just the stuff i've already ordered. AND all of it is just going to cost me 32 dollars. That's for two purses, a hat, two butterfly bookmarks, and a ring and earring set. ALL handmade! So i can't complain, not one little bit.
