I am home today with my son. Spring break should be illegal. The good news is that I have the whole day to clean the house. I just couldn't get motivated to do the mopping yesterday. My body was exhausted and I just don't want to mop.

I think we need a smaller house. I have been reading about people who are completely happy in smaller homes. We were. Our last house was 1900 sq. ft. and we could get it ALL clean in under 2 hours. Now, it takes me that long just to mop the tile in this house. We have three bathrooms to clean, too much carpeting...soooo much space that we don't even use it all. Two bedrooms never used, a formal dining room never used...a mamoth master bedroom that we don't have enough furniture for...I think a down-sizing is in order. 3100 sq ft is waaaay toooo much for three people.

Now, I just need to convince the hubby that we should NOT buy this place when the lease is up, like we planned. It is too much house. Besides, he wants to stay at home, anyway, so getting a smaller house would make it easier for him to do that. This house is gorgeous, but too big. And there is not enough back yard to put in a pool. We all want a pool.

Man, I don't want to mop. I am procrastinating.....I.MUST.GO.MOP....but....but...I dont wanna do it!!!

Okay...walkways and one bathroom down....40 minutes so far...kitchen, nook, short hallway, and two bathrooms to go....

Kitchen done....another 15 minutes...

Update: Mopping, shmopping...we just had lunch with hubby at a local mexican joint. They have excellent salsa, queso, and fresh tortilla chips. *YUM* I was so good, and it didn't take hardly any willpower! YAY YAY YAY. I had 5 tortilla chips and dipped them in each of the salsa's. But, I did go back to that queso for an extra 2 dips. Yay for me! I left just slightly fuller than satisfied, but not FULL. I knew I was going a little over on calories, but I just didn't get to eat breakfast today, so it will all balance out well. We are going to eat the rest of our salad tonight for dinner. It will be a good calorie day. Now, if I can only get motivated to finish this mopping....

Short hallway and another bathroom down...a nook and a bathroom left. Can I do it when we get home tonight from swimming??? I should do it.
