Small Successes for February 4th

1.
I delinted the bathroom today! Our dryer vents into the bathroom, so I’m forever delinting most of our little apartment. The bathroom is especially frustrating, as lint gets into everything and eventually it’s like walking into a sock, or perhaps someone’s navel. I finally had enough (or maybe had some nesting energy) and delinted the thing. Whooooooo!

After delinting the bathroom, I successfully kept Elise from trying to get into the toilet AND cleaned the sink. Toothpaste, little hairs from Greg shaving, soap bits, and yes, lint; all removed.
3.
At 3:30 this morning, Elise had a giant nightmare and required Immediate Mama Assistance. She ended up spending the rest of the night in our bed, and before I fell back asleep I had the urge to make a spiritual communion. I figured there was a Mass going on SOMEWHERE in the world at 3:30a my time. It was very beneficial spiritually, and I’ve found that at times today when I want to be frustrated / whine or complain / wank; I get that little voice saying “Maybe you should make a spiritual communion.”

One time I blocked the bathroom door with a coffee table so I could finally clean the bathroom without kids climbing into the garbage and the toilet. And they stood at the door and wailed the whole time! Great job getting so much done, its exhausting sometimes when your that far pregnant.

Cleaning the bathroom is a success for sure! (Especially with your lint situation – which is pretty amusing as a picture in my head, but I am sure is not in real life!)

I bet the apartment is nice and toasty when you’re drying things, at least. (:

Thank you for the compliments, everyone. I do appreciate them!
And Laura; the dryer absolutely heats up the place. Good in the winter, not so much in the summertime.
