Spring Clean

Friday was the first of 10 days of spring break for me. I had great intentions to sleep-in, relax, and thoroughly enjoy my first day off. Well, my little furry girl had other plans for me and so did my little furry boy. I was roused from sleep well before 7 a.m. by a cold, wet nose. My Anka wanted to get the day started and needed let out. So I let her out and at the same time, my cay ran out with her. After approximately 40 seconds of being outside, she wanted back in; Oliver was nowhere to be found. I wasn't alarmed because he usually disappears for about half an hour. (Side-note: Only today Oliver ended up disappearing for over five hours. He gave me a fright!)  Scott put food in their dishes while I went back upstairs to bed. Not even 10 minutes later, I was joined by Anka and this time she wanted to play. So now my hopes for going back to sleep for another hour or so were completely dashed.

I laid in bed checking email, Facebook and losing track of time on Pinterest. My procrastination just wasn't in full swing yesterday. Instead something strange was taking over me. I would liken it to the nesting feeling I hear pregnant women have late in pregnancy. The urge to clean and purge was uncontrollable. I spent all day cleaning out two closets, scrubbing the bathroom, sweeping, doing laundry and reorganizing said closets. Only taking 20 minutes to run to the store to get ingredients for my contribution to the family Easter dinner, and three hours to go to a bowling banquet. I kept purging and organizing when I got home from the banquet. It feels so good to look in those closets and see an uncluttered and mess free zone. To top off my day, I hung a new decoration on our front door. No more winter wreath!

This morning my cleaning streak continued. Miss Anka woke me again before 7 a.m. (I am really going to have to have a talking to with her)! I washed all the dishes, ran some more laundry, went and got my car washed, and my Resurrection Rolls are currently baking away in the oven for tonight's Easter dinner. I still have a lot of things on my to-do list, but I think I have been very productive this spring break (thus far), which is highly unusual!

My goal is to keep super busy so that I don't obsess over think about whether my IUI was a success or not. This two week wait is killer on the nerves!
