I scrubbed the bathroom floor yesterday. It was a MAJOR accomplishment. Enough that I kept telling the boy and the brother to "Look at it! It looks like I bleached it!"...."Yeah, real nice...can I go now?"

Yesterday must have been a special day in the stars because I found that burst of motivation Id been looking for all week. It felt great. I got up, had my coffee, rocked out some lampshades, cleaned the bathroom, swept the hallway rug (yes swept and yes with a hand broom) and cleaned out the microwave. The boys mom sent us some presents that we ripped open last nite. We knew one of them was going to be a toaster oven and wanted to crack it open immediately so we went ahead and opened all of them. Who needs gas now!!! She not only sent us a the toaster oven, but also a plug in range and a freakin fondue pot! Woo hoo!

I fell in love with fondue when we were at his mom's one night for dinner. I think it's just the coolest! So when do we get to chuck the stove and make more space for say...a dishwasher? More cabinet space? Muuuhahahha, we've defeated you gas company!

Except, we can only use one appliance at a time or risk the breaker blowing. Oh yes, that's thrilling. DInner took about 2 hours to cook last nite, but hey, it was worth every baked bite! Yay oven!
