Political Mom's Redemption!

Thursday night, or as it's known in politics, Fundraiser night...

I realize that Political Mom has gotten a bit of a bad rep around here. Tonight she put in another appearance, will she live up to her reputation? 

Tonight political mom had a fundraiser that I had to at least show up at to drop off some prizes. I picked up the boys right after work and asked them if they wanted to go and eat there or if they wanted to have a pork roast at home after we went there. They picked pork at home, so home we ran to throw it in the oven while we would be gone. Off we ran to the Pig 'n Whistle which is beautiful, if you live around here you should go. The only downfall to our plan was that the boys were having so much fun there that they didn't want to leave. With dinner in the oven we had to go home, but not before a quick stop at the grocery store to get some mac and cheese. We got home just in time to get the roast out and throw the mac and cheese, which turned out to be cheesy Au gratin potatoes oops into the microwave and cook the zucchini. Knowing that the boys enjoyed their first fundraiser I may bring them to more in the future. Let's see what the house looks like though.

Living Room

Not too bad, just some stray shoes, sheets and water bottles around. So far so good!

Kitchen

OMG!!!!! Would you look at that its clean. I know right?! Who would have guess after what it looked like yesterday and with Political Mom on the scene. But I was able to start the dishes while cooking and I finished them while the boys were doing their little project.

Dining Room

The table is clean too?! Wasn't a meal eaten in here tonight? Yes, yes it was. The counter is almost all cleaned off too, at least the mail in in a neat pile.

Bathroom

No real surprise here, this room is always clean.

Back Room

Same old story in here too... I wonder what the boys project was?

Kids Room

Wow! Would you look at that mess! Actually it's not really a mess. The boys project was to empty the toy box and make a pile of toys that they don't want anymore. That is their pile which I will be getting rid of by the end of the weekend. I promise. I brought in the ladder and changed the light bulbs in here so it is actually bright. Go Me!!!

My Room

Okay, I'll admit it. I didn't sleep in my bed again last night. After all of those dishes I just didn't have it in me to clean off my bed too.

Looks like Political Mom went out of her way to clean up her rep tonight. Will the cleaning streak continue? Only time will tell.
