Cleaning etc

All day I planned on going to the gym.... but this morning I felt just exhausted. The best I did was getting everyone ready and putting my gym clothes on. But I did eat pretty healthy, and low portion size. Plus I watched Oprah and about losing weight. Does that count for a work out?
I have to pat myself on the back, bec I did clean all day long. I must have folded 7 loads of laundry, organized and clean Eliza room, the play room my room to a certain extent, a load of dishes, vacuumed 1/2 of the upstairs........... and mind you I had Eliza to help. She did great and I felt like I was giving her a great education in work ethics! So her treat was that she finally got to watch her movie. By then she past out and didn't make it for dinner from exhaustion. At 10:00 at night I woke her up and gave her a quick dinner and put her to bed.

What a great mom I am! HA

Well I got Eliza's room and a few rooms of the house partially decorated. I bought a bunch of cool dec clearance 2 years ago and I had yet to put it up. I have a hard time trying to visualize how I want my decor to look. But I finally got Dale excited to help and we put up a butt load of stuff on the walls. The toy room is suppose to be a under the sea theme. I have some metal sea creatures that I hung up. Eliza room is pink and purple, I hung a boutique cutsie mirror, her name in pink and white, and a ton of other cute things. In fact when she went to bed she was like wow my room is pretty! Her bed is now butterflies comforter and set, which I got at a garage sale for 10 bucks.

So anyways, it was a eventful day! The sad thing is I only cleaned 1/3 of the house... we have 5 bedrooms upstairs, and a loft. I am still trying to organize this house. But I have noticed that the more Dale sees the house looking better and better.... the more he wants to help make it that way. Before he could care less or so he seemed. But since I have had a little more pride he actually wants to make it look nice too. We actually hired a yard guy today. I couldn't keep up with doing the yard. It is Dale's job but he hates doing it and has bad allergies to grass. So Dale finally gave in. It is pretty expensive, and mind you our yard is so small esp the front. We almost don't have a front yard. So 75 dollars the first time, and 45 dollars every time they come, a( 2 times a month). But for me it is piece of mind.

Well I am trying to figure how to get my pictures of my windows photoshop on my computer. I got this cool program form my sister in law and now I need to read the directions and how to operate. I tried for about 30 minutes on trying to download a few of my recent 300 hundred pictures and 20 video clips... no luck!
Well I better get to bed Eliza has her first day of preschool.
