Cleaning WEEK!

I have been trying to clean the house all week and I feel like I have gotten no where. Before this week I have just been to lazy to clean, but Nick took off last Thursday and cleaned the house while I was at school. It was nice to come home to a clean kitchen and living room, but I felt awful that he had to be the one to clean. I am very old fashion and I believe that men go to work and women clean and cook for their husbands. When I don't have the house clean at the end of the night when Nick comes home from work, I feel like I didn't do my part. This week I just got tired of not doing my part and feeling bad everytime he came home, so I have been making myself clean. I have found that once I get started, it's a lot easier to keep cleaning. So, eventhough I have been cleaning all this week and it still feels messy, I feel better when Nick comes home. When it is time to go to bed, I feel like I did a good days work and that I deserve a good sleep. I hope that I can keep up with my cleaning and actually get the house so completey clean. I better get started now!

Surprise!

So I threw a suprise birthday party for Nick a couple of weeks ago and I was very scared that everything would turn out to be a mess...I got Nick up early that morning to get him out of the house. Anna had stayed the night so that she could set up the decorations and food while I took Nick out for a birthday lunch. We went to Chuckarama and then I had to stall by taking him to Best Buy. We still were going to be about an hour before the party was supposed to start and Nick was getting tired. He wanted to go home and relax, but I had to beg him to take me to more stores. He was so mad, and I felt awful. But as soon as he opened the door, all the anger was gone. He said that he was so surprised that he almost had a heart attack! So the party was a hit and Nick got everything he wanted! I want to thank my Mom and Anna, because without them there would have been NO party! Thanks!
