At the end of the day every stitch of laundry is done, the bedroom is as clean as it will ever be, the kitchen just needs a scrub but is picked up and the living area is slightly more liveable.
Could be worse.
Great playoff games helped the sleepy, ouchy day go by much better.
Yesterday (which was an insanely full day) didn't leave a lot of cleaning time and that was my number one goal for the weekend before I lose big man back to work, and possibly even to job two again. However, I'm really glad we had all the fun and adventure we had yesterday :)
I don't think I even covered it all - took little man to the open house at the school I teach at and he played and played in the kindergarten room with the great teachers there. So need to figure out how to afford at least three years of tuition! I really would love him to go there k-2. Then dragged him directly to gymnastics with our traditional stop at Iggy's bread company after for pizza (little man) and croissants (mommy!) and this time Big Man was also with us (b/c I can't handle lifting little man b/c of the back/hip issues panda has triggered) and he got a mini-pullman of light rye fresh out of the oven.
Watching Big Man eat mini sandwiches of tuna fish later in the afternoon was uber cute!
Then we all 1/2 napped together on the couch while little man watched some of the 80's scholastic videos we got on DVD recently - Courdoroy is a favorite, but also we are rocking Harold and the purple crayon, a bunch of Ezra Jack Keats and a random book called "drummer hoff".
This was the only "bad" moment of the day. As I was pretty much totally asleep I awake to "Mommy!!" And open my eyes to see a flying squirrel version of my 3 year old launching itself off Big Man's knees at the other end of the couch, shouting "I Loooove you!" as he lands on me just right so as to pop my back and hips. He undid weeks of 2-3 times a week chiropractic appointments with one love filled bound. I've been in pain ever since.
But not so much that I couldn't go back to sleep when Big Man then announced he would take little man for a run (which in temperate weather - it was 50 in January! - means time at the park as well). I slept for almost an hour and then made myself get up b/c runs usually only last about an hour to an hour 20 if I'm lucky.
Instead, this was a 2 hour adventure that culminated in me also getting a delivered Starbucks! yay!
So I also got some cleaning/organizing done while they were gone.
But that is when the brainstorm for a double date and getting a babysitter happened, too. I'm so glad we went out but I was up all night from the food. So today really needed to be a couch watching football playoffs day.

All in all a fantastic "final" (again) weekend without the panda joining us.
