So I am thinking that good karma comes the way of those who clean.
Yesterday afternoon I did a relatively big clean (for me) and then, instead of actually sitting on the couch with Nora for an hour, I grabbed a gossipy mag from home and flipped through that for 20 mins or so. It was enough of a break for me, and I thought, well J gets home from his week long business trip, and all I have ready is niku-jaga, so I should probably try to find something else to go with it, right!? So googled away and found something I could make with leftovers in the fridge (I know, I am SO on fire at the moment) so I made up one dish, and was just about to make another when I realised I was missing one ingredient, so put it aside to wait until K was awake to go to the shops. Anyway, J rings when he gets in to Narita, blah blah blah, he will be home about 6pm. So I start to vacuum coz K is now awake, and then I see there is a msg on my keitai from J - he suggest sushi-ro for dinner! God, he is SOOOOOO Japanese, hehe. One week in the US and he is craving his sushi. But we like it there, so I am like, cool, added bonus, if we go there tonight, then I have dinner already for TOMORROW night now too, which is good because today was playgroup, and I didn't have to worry about cooking up something when I got home AND to boot, the place looks nice and clean and tidy(ish) when I walk in the door!!! WOW. I wonder if this is the same awesome feeling surfers talk about when they catch the wave!! Hang ten, dude.

You're definately on a roll martha. Hope J brought you and K some nice omiyage back from Vegas. When are you coming down here again? It's so when Marina and I are in hospital isn't it?
ReplyDeletehey girl, sounds like you are on a roll big time! Very impressive!! I think you may have even inspired me to do some Martha-ing around here over the long weekend! I must say the list thing is a great idea. I am definitely going to try that on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I have been a cleaning/organizing kick ever since the weather cooled down and it's finally paying off. I feel more relaxed in my house and it's easier for the kids to find their stuff so they don't bug me as much. I am definitely feeling good returns for all the work I did.
