Well lets start with some good news. I got my computer back from the shop yesterday and everything is working perfect. Just like it did when it was new. Turns out that it wasn't a virus after all it was just a short. When we had that big storm (right before all the problems started) the lightning blew out the part of the computer where the phone line connects to the computer. I guess I forgot to unplug that part. Oooops. Anyway it was about 130.00 to get it fixed because they had to replace that whole part. At least it wasn't worse than that, an easy fix. OK now on to other things.
OK so let me explain. I woke up this morning at 8:00 with this overwhelming urge to really do a deep clean on the kids rooms. So I started with Elyssa. You would think because she is a girl that she wouldn't take as long because she stays pretty neat. Well you would be wrong. Her room was horrible. I really thought at first I was in D.J.'s room. But no such luck. Anyway I started with all the books and stuff that she just has laying around in her room and doesn't read. I went through them and now,she went from about 50 books to about 20 that she really reads because they are age and grade appropriate. Then I proceeded to go through the many many movies that she has taken into her room and get out all the ones that belong to the family which left her with about 12 or so movies that are really hers. Then I went through her toys and clothes. After all that it was about 11:30. Then I proceeded to clean her dresser and book shelf along with her bed. Then after all that I started to rearrange her room. By the time I was completely done with her room it was a quarter to 4. I can't believe it really took me that long just to clean her room.
Next was D.J.'s room. By this point Dale had gotten up for the day and helped D.J. out a little while I finished up Elyssa's room. By the time I got to him Dale had taken everything out of his room and I do mean everything, and it was all piled up out in the hall and in the kitchen, including his bed. I proceeded to clean off his dresser and bed along with his book shelf. Since his book shelf was falling apart I fixed it by putting what else but duck tape on the back of it so that it wouldn't wobble anymore. Then I went though the same thing with D.J. that I had done with Elyssa. Only instead of movies and books I went through his books and PlayStation games. Now they almost all fit on his book shelf. Well all but about 10 books that are now on his headboard. Then I went though his clothes and put them away. And then his toys. I have to say he really didn't have many toys because he mostly listens to his radio or plays his PlayStation or watches t.v. Then I rearranged his room and put everything away. By the time I was don't with his room it was almost 8:00. I have to say it didn't take me quiet as long to do his room but now I feel so much better knowing that their rooms are really clean.
Anyway as for the meaning of the word clean. I had to really show the kids what it meant to keep their rooms clean otherwise they were going to have to put up with me doing this every week. I have a feeling they will keep their rooms clean from now on because I have to say they really hated having to help me deep clean their rooms today instead of playing with their friends or playing outside on such a nice day. At least that is what I am hoping for because the next time I have to do this there wont be much left to their rooms except the basics. Here's hoping I wont have to do this again anyway.
On top of everything I never did get to go shopping for food today which was suppose to be my number one priority today. Oh well I guess I will just have to do it tomorrow. I know I know its Sunday and your not suppose to do anything but go to church and relax but I have to get food or else we will starve.
Well that is all for today. Blog at you later.
