A Pretty Good Day

I started out strong! I got the front porch cleaned and the dining room cleaned and organized. Then I went to start on the living room and my back started hurting. By the end of the nite I was in urgent care because my back was out. They gave me some medicated patches to alleviate the pain and boy are they nice! I was pain free after about an hour of putting the patches on. My aunt came and took Alex for last nite and tonight. I already miss that lil boy. My mom stayed with the two older boys while I was at urgent care. Man is my mom is BITCH. She didn't say anything about the master bedroom or dining room being clean...just that she thought that with me having a nicer house I would take better care of my house. And that I don't need to be scrapbooking, I need to be cleaning...WTF! I have been working my tail off to get this house cleaned, unpacked and organized all she can be is negative. I'm about to tell my aunt that I'm done with my mom. That she can come to Andrew's birthday party but after that I'm done. I just don't need to listen to her bitch so much and be so negative! All I can do at this point is ignore her and let what she says go in one ear and out the other...but it's so difficult because she's my mom.

Now that my back isn't hurting I plan to get a ton done today. We are having that birthday party here tomorrow at 2 and I want to be proud of this house, not embarrassed by it's appearance. So I plan to focus on the living room, kitchen, garage entryway, 1/2 bath, and laundry room today. If I can get to the basement area that's great, if not people don't need to go down there. Anyway I'd better get busy! I'll leave it for now and post again tomorrow! Toodles!
