Waiting for the rain.

Tuesday...

Petitioning season has finally come to an end! Tonight was my last night of petitioning hooray! I can't say that I'm going to miss it at all. I briefly stopped home tonight after work and I spent my time there doing to maintenance on the garden. It could still use a good solid day of rain or about four good half hour watering's in one day, but at least it's weed free now. I was going to go turn the compost, but political mom had duties to perform so off I went.
 
Living Room
Here is the evidence of my sleeping on the couch for so many days. You might notice that I changed the curtains in here too. Much brighter during the day, but as evidenced by the green turtle water it speeds up the growth of algae and adds to my chores.
 
Kitchen
As you can see the mess in here hasn't gotten any better. Eventually it has to get picked up. I did clean out the refrigerator, but you can't tell from the pic.
 
Dining Room
The mess on the table hasn't grown at least. But it hasn't gotten any better either.
Bathroom

It's actually not bad in here at all. The only real offender is my shirt on the floor (that's where I get undressed before I shower), and a washcloth on the counter.
 
Back Room
Clean as always. The boys spent about a half hour, a half a roll of paper towels, and a quarter of a bottle of Windex cleaning the marker off of the red part of the easel the other day. They would have finished, but we ran out of Windex.
 
Kids Room
They haven't been home and I haven't been messing it up, so it's still clean
 
My Room
I know it could be cleaner, but at least I've been able to sleep in my bed. Sometimes you've got to celebrate life's small victories.
 
In tomorrow's episode the boys will return home. Will they make the mess worse, or will they inspire "too busy to see the mess mom" to clean up? Stay tuned...
