Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

I should be doing something a little more productive than sitting here at the laptop but I'm not. M is napping so I get a few hours to myself. This morning I had a pot full of dirt poured on top of me, I ate my lunch while sitting on the bathroom floor and was inadvertently punched in the face while helping the toddler off the potty. Thus the reason I was eating my lunch on the bathroom floor, when you gotta go, you gotta go, and we are potty training. Bubbles and candy later it was time for the afternoon nap. Anyway this is my justification for not doing anything right now.

This morning the Miss and I planted the pansies we bought yesterday at the garden store, that is all I bought, three packs of pansies, they were cheap, they were pretty, what can I say. Yesterday we also went to story time at the library close to us, Makenna sat next to me mesmerized by the lady singing the nursery rhymes and was too shy to make any kind of movements. Afterwards she played in the little kid area for another 45 minutes before we headed home for some lunch and snacks. After dumping about half her juice box on the floor, I deemed it naptime. Last weekend I bought one of those steam mops, I've wanted one for a good six months and decided if the entire downstairs was going to be hard flooring, I deserved one. The pricetag was really the only thing holding me back but I had one of those coupons for 20% off one item, which is a pretty good discount on an $80 steam mop. So I bought one, and I love it. I don't think the kitchen floor had been this clean since the last time I spent over an hour on my knees with a sponge and a hot bucket of water scrubbing. And anyone that has been here knows that my kitchen is tiny, and anyone that knows me knows that I only cleaned the floor like that twice while being here 4 years. Anyway the steam mop is wonderful and works so much better than the swiffer things I was using before.

Prarie Gardens had a bunch of the Christmas stuff out, all glittery and sparkle-y, that place always makes me want to buy Christmas crap...must..resist...the...urge...I have bags of brand new Christmas stuff I bought at the end of the season last year 75% off. Yes I said BAGS...no more Christmas stuff..no more Christmas stuff...is it totally weird that I am super excited about putting up lights this year?

I'm off to find something to do while procrastinating about mowing the lawn. Oh, I totally forgot to mention that the said library now carries.....cake artist studio cookies and brownies as well as cupcakes from Cakes on Walnut at the little cafe. The library is really getting up there on my list of places I could spend forever at.....
