Getting back on the ball

Oh my Momma is a good helper. I came home from the gym to find the down stairs picked up, the kitchen cleaned,the dishwasher unloaded...and reloaded again, and the children playing happily.



So, I had time to clean the downstairs carpet, with my Bissel Pro-Heat Turbo 2X. That has been my favorite (household cleaning) device I have bought for a long time. I have had it for two years and it's cleaned many a gross thing!! Many of you are probably lucky enough to NOT have carpet, but I still do, and I couldn't live without it. Well, I might be over exaggerating a bit, but I do love it.

Thanks to Kristi, we might have found a better time to read our scriptures, in the morning right after people wake up. We have been slacking since summer started about reading the scriptures together, and I was motivated to get back on the ball. Life is a series of getting "off the ball" and then getting back on again. As long as we are trying, right?

I need to go shower and get pretty. I'm looking pretty gross and nasty at the present moment. We will be heading to lunch here in a bit. Hope is asleep now, she needs one good nap a day at least! I hear rumblings of Cici's Pizza, but I hope I can persuade people to go a different route. I'm sure I will lose!! Grandma is visiting, so where ever she wants to go!! After that...who knows where we will end up!

having a mama around is a great thing! have fun! i agree that life is just a series of starting up, slacking off, and starting up again. i always tell myself that as long as the effort is there, it's enough! :)

I love when my mom comes and stays, She's such a little scrubber. I can never make my house look as good as she can. Have fun at lunch!

Your vacuum sounds awesome! I'm so glad your Mom is visitng and you get to hang out her--they're the best! Have a great day. Also, I noticed your black bean salsa for dinner--what's the recipe for that? It sounds yummy!

It's not a vacuum, it's a carpet cleaner. But I do love it. I'll post the black bean salsa recipe.
