i am in love with my new workout class. i feel great, i'm doing crazy things like clean sweeps and bench presses, and i'm actually increasing my weight each week! and it's at the most perfect time in the morning. 0800. it requires me to set an alarm and get up a smidge early, but caitlin rolls right out of bed, has breakfast in her stroller at the gym, and is happy and content to sit in her stroller during the whole class. there are three other mom friends of mine that bring their kiddos too. they aren't mobile yet, so they all sit on a mat near caitlin and play with toys. it's great for all. our instructor doesn't mind that they are there and loves that we're able to come. well it only takes one person to find one stupid thing to complain about. rumor has it, that someone told the gym manager that there were toddlers running around the class and it was distracting...people are idiots. i guess another evening class is having "children" issues, but they actually have 5 year old children in the class with their mom's and these kids are taking up space that another adults could be using. so to address the issue in the evening class, they are "banning" children from the gym-supposedly, there hasn't been anything said to us so far. it just infuriates me that someone would complain about our kids-none of them cry, they don't leave the spots they sit in, they don't take up any room that someone would be working out in...i don't understand what drives people to steal happiness from all...
so i've been annoyed all day. constantly on the edge of irritated. so when i opened the silverware drawer and a cockroach crawled across the spoon i was reaching for, i lost it. this is 3 days after they came to spray the house for cockroaches. so, what do i do when i'm highly irritated? clean. how irritated was i? i cleaned for 4 hours.
if it was in a cupboard or drawer, it got washed.
it it was on the counter, it got moved, disinfected, and placed back where it was.
i did 3 loads of laundry.
i vacuumed every room except for the one caitlin was sleeping in-even using the "detail" hose for the baseboards and those hard-to-reach areas.
i dusted every ledge and electronic appliance.
i mopped all linoleum.
toilets and bathtub and sinks spotless.
it was a pretty amazing feat. during the dusting process i found this guy. he was a christmas present from my best friend back in MI. he has a proper home now on the book shelf for all to see :)
