Today was pretty great. I woke up early to breakfast in bed, prepared by my husband. Because of daylight savings, the kids slept an hour late. This gave us time to finish preparing for my in-laws' visit. The house is now cleaner than it's been since we got everything moved in last July. Make no mistake, toddlers still live here, so it's not immaculate, but it's good enough for now. We made a giant leap this weekend and will be making baby steps until it's all done. Somehow, I think it's going to work this time.
After they arrived, we enjoyed a nice dinner of beef chuck roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, and sweet corn--a simple, hearty meal that is one of my favorites--topped off with birthday cake. I mentioned giving them a list, which included several types of chocolates as examples of what I like. It turns out, they got me all of them. I also got some nice herbal teas and a scented oil candle, which I will try out once I find a place high enough to set it that the boys can't reach. So far, despite having 10-foot ceilings, these places are few and far between.
Most of all, I ended up getting what I've wished for every holiday since I've had a home of my own: a clean(ish) house. If we can keep it that way, I am well on my way to having everything I've ever wanted.
