Slow Kind of Week

It’s been a slow kind of week so far here at home.  I had BIG plans for thoroughly cleaning the house upstairs AND downstairs, but it’s been very slow going, and today, as a matter of fact, it has been NO going.

The most I’ve managed this week was getting our downstairs dusted, clutter picked up, bathroom cleaned, and vacuumed.  This took many breaks and happened over a span of three days.  It just frustrates me to no end how slow I have to work now.  A few years ago, I could clean our home in one day: bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, everything.

Between all the chores, I made time for lunch with my mama on Tuesday.  Spending time with her is one of the things I am thankful that I can do now that I am no longer working.  We went to one of our favorite spots for lunch.  It’s a huge old warehouse building in our downtown area that has been transformed into a beautiful but industrial-looking restaurant.  Aptly named, The Warehouse!

I had a ham sandwich and broccoli salad, and it came with a pickle. It was so filling that I had to take the other half home with me, but it made for a great supper that night.

The Teen was home Monday and Tuesday due to the holiday and a teacher work day, so we’ve been able to relax our routine a little more this week. Hubby came in on Wednesday night, and we were glad to see him return.  He left out again this morning but might be in this evening.  If not, it will be tomorrow.  We don’t have big weekend plans as it looks like rain, but we have some things to do around the house.  Exciting times!  Ha-ha!

This week just feels like a wash.  Maybe I will feel more energetic in a day or so.  I thought, surely by now, I’d have my act together, but it hasn’t happened.  I have so many thoughts on homemaking that I’ll probably dump them into another post.
