I’m taking back the house.

I have declared myself officially recovered.  I haven’t seen the doctor yet, but I think my incision is fine and I feel OK returning to normal life.  I do have some moments of pain, but I can muscle through.  I do not like being sick or injured, so I decided it was time to be better.

Now that I am better, I have a few things on my agenda.  Most importantly, I am taking back the house.  I was laid up for 2 weeks after the baby was born and was basically immobile for the last few weeks of my pregnancy.  When you add in the fact that I was on lifting restrictions for months and unable to bend over since late Summer, there was plenty of time for this house to fall apart.  BAGD did a great job keeping things running but its not a one man job.  There were things that just did not get done or slowly disintegrated.  Magazines are piling up in the living room, giant dust bunnies peek from under the couch, there are vague hand-prints going all the way up the wall by the stairs, the linen closet is chaos, the cover from our kiddie pool is still in the backyard, there’s a giant thistle in the shrub bed, its time to bring the hats and mittens out of storage, etc.

Now that I am better, I am taking back the house, one room at a time.  Yesterday I did the living room.  I emptied the toy box and threw out the broken toys.  I emptied the magazine basket.  I put all the DVDs on top of the TV back in their cases.  I cleaned the room from top to bottom.  It was great.   I can’t wait to do the rest of the rooms.
