Too Much Excitement…

…does strange things to a mind. After our exciting I decided that I would try to relax on Sunday. Boy was I wrong.

The main thing that I had to worry about on Sunday was the fact that I haven’t had the chance to really clean house in a couple weeks. This is normal when I travel on the weekend. Normally I use the weekend to clean house, do laundry and other chores. Well the past couple weekends I was out of town and only the essential things got taken care of. Yes clean underwear was one of them.

Well cleaning had to wait for my normal weekend event. Had to watch the NASCAR race on Sunday. I must say that it was a good race, especially the end. Granted Kahne ended up out early, sorry hun, and Earnhardt was out of the top 20 but the end of the race was great. Watching Burton and Kenseth go at it was just awesome. I haven’t seen such clean and tight racing in a very long time.

After watching the race I got to work on the house. I started by cleaning all the dishes in the kitchen and getting the dish washer started. Followed that up by cleaning up all the kitchen counters. After those two tasks I was somewhat tired. Thankfully so was Lexi.

I grabbed Lexi and held her for a while until she finally dosed off. I then took her into the bedroom and laid her down in her bed. I do this on the weekends so I can vacuum. She absolutely hates that machine anymore. So got the living room and dining room all vacuumed and looking pretty. This of course involved also moving all Lexi’s toys back to her little toy box. Once I was done with that it was time for lunch.

While I am sitting there eating I start to hear some crying. Yup, Lexi was up. I went into the bedroom and she was crying. Must have had a bad dream or something. So I picked her up, cuddled her and took her into the living room with me. So she sat in my lap for about 10-15 minutes and then I placed her on the floor on her blanket. She was in and out for another 30-45 minutes. She needed the extra rest though that is for sure.

I decided that I also needed to vacuum the bedroom since the carpet in there was starting to look scary. Of course I can’t vacuum in there when Lexi is sleeping. So I started up Elmo and let her watch that while I did the bedroom. She was actually ok with that. Then I went ahead and changed all out sheets and got them ready for the laundry as well. I will get those taken care of later this week.

So I am finished finally!! Oh wait what about dinner!? I went ahead and took the lazy route and made fish sticks and fries. She just loves that combination. She likes the fries more then the fish sticks it seems however. Well while I was getting all that prepared is when I decided to snap these pictures.

I was getting stuff ready when I looked into the living room because it suddenly became really quiet. Well anyone with kids knows that when they get quiet that usually means trouble. So I looked up and this is what I saw. Grabbed the camera and here ya have it. The second one she actually saw me with the camera so I told her to say, ‘cheese’ and here ya go. I can’t help but laugh every time I look at this picture. Such a goof. Finally she got out of the basket and came running over. Then I growled at here making like I was going to get her and the result is picture number three. She actually ran over to the couch and jumped up on it in a way. Her legs sticking out like that are from her leaving the ground. Not her trying to get back down.
