my house needs some TLC

wow...what a week this has been! you've heard all about it in my previous post so i will try not to ramble on about it. long story short, it's friday tomorrow!! i love fridays. i love everything about them...

it's garbage day at my house tomorrow and for some reason i love garbage day. i love having all empty garbage cans throughout the house, no water bottles lying around, no piles of newspapers. it just feels so good to clear it all out every week and start fresh. i am a huge recycler so i always have more recycling then garbage, but it still feels great to get rid of it all.

my house is seriously needing some wicked spring cleaning done. our basement has turned into a dumping ground, and so has our office. i made some great progress on our bedroom this week. closets are cleaned out and the floors are all cleaned again. i need to go through kingston's closet yet again, move all his small clothes downstairs, and give his whole bedroom a deep clean. if i get the big job working casual work, we will definitely be looking into getting some assistance with all these jobs. it's so much work when i do daycare, have a baby, go to school, have another job, and somewhere in there we need to spend time together as a family...

i had a great visit with an old friend and her super-cute little lady today. i've really realized since having kingston that i have lost touch with so many of my great friends. it makes me so sad some days to think about all the great times we shared. this particular friend of mine and i have had our fun in the sun. she's so much fun to be around, has a great spirit, and is always down for a good time. ahh...good memories!! she now has a baby who will be 1 in a couple weeks. how crazy how much our lives have changed. we met working at this DUD of a job and now we're both moving on in life, both married, both with a baby. crazy. either way, so great to catch up!

kingston's morning started out rough today. he seriously cried for 2 hours straight. he's NEVER cried like that. i will say that i was completely preoccupied getting things going with cameron's super special birthday present, but still...he's never ever EVER been so difficult. i was thinking that it was going to be a day of absolute hell, and it turned out not to be! he absolutely LOVED having a little friend here to play with and really hammed it up for her...boys are such flirts. i got to walk the mall with my very sweet 9 year old cousin where we ate ice cream, browsed a few shops, bought a few goodies, and just hung out. we haven't had the chance to do anything fun without her little brother tagging along complaining we aren't playing games :) i dropped her off at home, came home, put kingston down for a quick rest, and then my sweet little family of three trekked on down to red robin for a dinner out! it was great! kingston loved the burger, the fries, and most of all the freckled lemonade. and now, he's in bed....ahh...peace and quiet!

with that said...bed time it is. goodnight everyone...and happy garbage day tomorrow!
