Do you ever have those days where it seems almost impossible to wake up? Well, today is my day for just such a thing :( While I can't say that it's completely unwarranted, it still sucks.
The last 2 weekends have been quite the whirlwind for me...and my little car! Of course, last weekend was my jumbo trip to Pittsburgh & back...but couldn't I just stay home & rest for a while...absolutely not!
On Thursday, I was told by a friend that she would be crashing on my couch in about a week...while attempting to stay calm, panic tried to set in due to the current state of my apartment! So, on Friday morning I made a last minute decision to kidnap my sister from NC, bring her to GA to help me get my place squeaky clean & ready for company...then drive her back on Sunday. Well folks, that's exactly what I did!
This weekend has been quite a whirlwind!
Friday
12:30 - leave work & head to NC
4:00 - arrive in NC, pick up the sis & do some shopping
5:30 - have dinner with the Mom & sis
6:30 - get back on the road headed for GA
10:30 - arrive back home with sis in tow
Saturday
11:30 - head out to lunch at a friend's house
11:45 - get stuck in crazy wreck traffic
12:45 - finally arrive at destination
5:00 - head back home after an amazing time & great grilled food!
5:30 - start to clean (very slowly)
6:30 - realize that a Wal-mart run is inevitable since we need strong chemicals!
8:30 - finally return from Wal-mart & Costco
9:00 - light dinner while watching Swamp People marathon (love that show!!!)
12:30 - wake up on the couch, head to bed...we've got loads to do tomorrow!
Sunday
9:30 - up & at 'em...with a yummy pancake breakfast
10:30 - let the cleaning frenzy begin
2:30 - finally sit down to eat lunch
6:00 - almost done with the cleaning...we are worn out!
6:30 - pack up the car & head back to NC to drop off the sis
10:30 - arrive in NC, drop off the sis, try to convince her to get back in the car,
she respectfully declines, I leave all my lonesome to head back to GA
1:45 - I arrive back home after 7 hours of being in the car & cannot get in the bed fast enough
Thank God I get to telework on Mondays...I would most definitely be "head down, lights out" on my desk if I had to go in today. Let's just say that I do not recommend 14 hours of driving in a 3 day span, but at least my house is clean & ready for company! Normally, I would not have gone to such lengths, but this particular pending guest is allergic to cats...and as we know, I have 3. Therefore, I had to go to extreme measures to erradicate as much of the cat hair a humanly possible.
On that note, I bid you adieu...is it time for bed yet???
