Mania

I kind of forgot this feeling. Man I’ve been productive today. Shanna woke me up at 4:30. We didn’t really get out of bed till 5. I left Noah sleeping. Then I got up and got busy. Today I have (in no particular order):

-Cleaned up basically all of the small debris out in the garage and put it away or broke it up small enough for the trash.
-loaded the dishwasher and ran it
-put the dishwasher stuff away
-did a full dishdrainer full of hand washing
-diaper laundry is nearly done
-another load is in the washer
-went through extensive stain removal crap on a shirt of Shanna’s that I love. *cross fingers it will actually come clean*
-completely cleaned off the kitchen counter and scrubbed it and the stove
-cleaned off the kitchen table and changed the linen
-cleaned the cat litter box
-read several chapters in My Mother Wears Combat Boots while Shanna napped (turkey butt)
-got my nephew started mudding the garage (w00t)
-ate the best cookie ever: white chocolate, blueberries, and milk chocolate covered blueberries. I think I died and went to heaven.
-made sausage and eggs for breakfast
-fed Shanna several snacks
-Completely scrubbed down the high chair (it was disgusting)
-spent a lot of time chatting with my wonderful Sarah 🙂
-rounded up all the unused Christmas stuff and put it away

And it’s not even noon.

I think I will go clean the bathroom. I’m thinking that I should sweep the kitchen. Mopping is pointless until we finish the drywall stuff. Hmmmmm…. what else should I do…

{short list} Feeling safe

I haven’t been posting filtered stuff. As a result I have ceased to feel safe posting about some of the stuff going through my head and I’m tired of feeling like I can’t post on my journal. So I’m back to filters. This isn’t a particularly broad filter. There are many cases of one person in a partnership being on this filter when the other person isn’t. I’m not asking you to keep secrets from your partner but I would prefer if you didn’t go out of your way to bring this stuff up. I still like all of your respective partners I just don’t want to be argued with right now.
