What I Need Today…

Have you ever had just one of those days? Where everything may be going right, but you just feel tired, grumpy, irritated, and did I mention tired? That’s me today. I need some of this in my life…intercontinental-tahiti

But really I would just settle for this…

nap-time

Why did they have to do away with naptime after kindergarten? I think work places would be much more productive if we had an hour a day for naps.

An easy fix to all of this would be an early bedtime. Not going to be the case tonight. I’m going to get all dressed up even though my face looks like YUCK and feels droopy and I’d rather close my eyes than shake a bunch of hands. HA! We’ll be heading to the Chamber banquet tonight and hopefully I can feel refreshed once I get home. I know, can I get a little cheese with that whine?

I cleaned house last night. Well, mainly the basement while my new best friend cleaned the upstairs. Meet Millicent, also know around our house as Millie the Mint. Yes, I named it. Much to our surprise, she really cleans well. Thank goodness because we have 2 hairy dogs and track in all kinds of stuff from the outside on our hardwood floors. You simply put one of the microfiber dry cloths it came with on it OR a Swiffer dry pad and set it to go. She works until she’s done and then stops in the exact same spot she started in. Talk about a good girl! I had vacuumed the floors on Saturday and still came up with all of this hair…see below.

YUCK! I promise my house isn’t that dirty, it’s just the dogs. In my defense this bad boy does go under the couch and went in every room upstairs. You can also put a wet Swiffer pad on it and it will clean your floors wet. I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!!!!!! I give it an A plus! :) It’s only for hard surface floors though! It does not replace my Dyson, but it’s on it’s last leg I think. Maybe it will last another year or so.

I’m ready for the weekend though! My in-laws will be here tomorrow and we always have a fun time with them. We’re going to our favorite pizza place Saturday night with my parents.

By the way, even though I wanted to sleep in today I went to the gym. Score! One more day for this week and I have a couple off. :)

So………………………I’m ready for a hut on the beach with just KT, a frozen, fruity drink, a nap, and the weekend. Is that bad?

It's the same day for me. Luckily I don't have a banquet tonight!

I am very impressed with your mint. I had never heard of such a thing. I'm assuming it is just for sweeping or does it mop too? Because if it does both, I'm sold immed.

Hope you get some rest!

Must be a Mallory thing... i've been in a mood today too, for no reason! SO in love with your new toy by the way! I might have to add that to my wish list!

That is AMAZING! In our next home I'd love hardwood floors, but I know the upkeep can be a lot. This looks perfect! I think that when you have pets--especially dogs it's just about inevitable that you're going to come up with a lot of dog hair. Rob will sweep the pet bathroom in the morning and by evening it'll be covered again. So aggravating, but we love our pets. :)

Sorry for the double comment, but I didn't even mention the amazing vacation picture you posted. I need to go there now! This girl needs a vacation!
