Friday was the official start of Spring Break for Shakopee. They get all of this week off too–so that’s a nice hefty break for them. I still taught on Friday and I’m teaching all day today as a make-up day, so my break doesn’t actually start until tomorrow. 🙂
I made a mental list of all the things I wanted to do with the kids and accomplish around the house and suddenly my break doesn’t seem nearly as long… one of my big items was to rent a heavy duty carpet cleaner and clean all the carpets in the house. So, I was really motivated and rearing to go on Saturday–so Tim stopped by Lowe’s and rented a cleaner for the day. And I cleaned like a mad woman. ALL. OF. THE. CARPETS. And let me tell you, in this house we have a lot of carpet! My legs and arms are still sore. And I had blisters on my right hand from pulling the cleaner back and forth! I’m just glad I had already been working out b/c I can’t imagine how sore I would have been normally! 😉
But, despite my soreness–the house looks FANTASTIC! It’s so wonderful to know that all the carpets are clean. Ahhhhhh….
Now onto cleaning out the garage and working on the yard and storing away clothes that don’t fit the kids anymore and somewhere in there I’ll relax. 🙂
Wow, that was a lot of carpet scrubbing all at once! No wonder you are stiff and sore!
That is a lot of carpet for one day AND one person!
