I have the most AWESOME friend who called me yesterday and told me to bring my kids over to her house for them to play, and I could go back home and clean my house... it was really really messy and needed to be cleaned. My inlaws were coming that evening and I really wanted to have the house semi-clean. (Even if they weren't coming- I needed to clean... it was looking pretty bad) I was able to get so much accomplished without the kids "helping" me out... I cleaned from 10am till 2pm, and then went grocery shopping sans kids... then went and picked them up and we came home and the kids did their cleaning chores (bedrooms and a bathroom for the two older kids).
It was a wonderfully productive day. People ask me what I'll do when Angela is in school... that's what I'll do some of the time- I'll blast the music and clean the house... and feel so great afterwards when I can look around and see and smell a clean house. :)
So I'm incredibly grateful for my friend today... and that I've been able to make some neat friendships here... we've been here longer than any other place we've lived and I'm so glad to have made some good friends that I know will help me out when I need it.
