I've done more basic chores since 9:00 this morning than I've done all summer.  I did three loads of laundry, folded and put away the baby laundry, sorted some of her drawers and eliminated outgrown clothing from them (note to self: this weekend, must go to Home Depot to get some more storage bins to match the ones in the basement.)  I managed throughout this process to keep Elizabeth interested in two tea towels and a collection of her own toys, so I only had to do most of the folding once.  (part of the reason I often don't get to the put-away stage is that she likes to unfold clothes as I'm making piles of neatly folded laundry around the back room.  Alternatives: use precious nap time to do chores, fold in the basement while leaving her alone on the main floor which is not a good idea, or fold everything multiple times.  Usually, I choose option #4 - wait for Pyat to get home.)

Then, I unloaded the clean dishes from the dishwasher, handwashed everything that was lying around, wiped counters and stoves and generally tidied.  I cleaned the bathroom sink, while Elizabeth looked on and waved bye-bye to the suds going down the drain. 

If I'm still feeling energetic tomorrow, maybe I'll wash the kitchen floor. 

THen again, maybe I should concentrate on getting rid of the large piles of laundry still waiting to be washed.

We'll see what happens.

Well, then.

Your wife's buddying up to God, because she's got her cleaning groove on today!

You go, girl!

Yeah - especially since I got to go to my mother's in the afternoon and get away from the urge to do too much. It doesn't do to accomplish too much at once. People start to expect it. :)
