hello –  Whew…what a day!  I am beat!  I just got up from a nap.  Josh and I clean my in-laws apartment.  I am so grateful that Josh came with me.  He did all the Rug Dr for me.  I just helped by filling the emptying the tanks for him.  He got the living area nice and clean for them.   he is such a good boy.  He worked very hard for about 4 hours and never complained.  He would find more to do for his Grandparents.  He is a very caring boy.    


I cleaned the kitchen and bathroom.   I cleaned out the tub and scrubbed floors.  The nice thing about cleaning their apartment is that my MIL has no clutter.  She keeps everything put away and in it’s place.  So all I had to so was scrub and scrub.   My MIL didn’t have a dustpan so we had to make do with the piece of cardboard.  She hasn’t had one since they lived there.  LOL!!  So obviously she hasn’t swept much.   They have lived in the apartment for about 5 years.  We live in their old house.  The house got too large for them to maintain anymore and they sold it to my husband.


So we live in the family home and hold all the holidays here.   It is the largest of the homes of all the children as well.  So we have more room.   Grandma and Grandpa were very pleased when they returned to a clean home.  I need to make a point of going over there and scrubbing the floor ocassionally, or at least more often than once a year. 


I must admit I don’t think I will be doing much around my house the rest of today.  My arms are aching. My back hurts a bit from scrubbing the floor.  I did in on my hands and knees to get it good and clean. 


I will try to do a bit of laundry, but that is about it. 


Tomorrow we are going to Blaine to my BIL and SIL’s trailer to celebrate Nick and KK’s b-day!  It is very small so we fill up the place easily.  


I best get done here,  and eat some supper.  Julie my SIL is coming over to play with Tommy, who also is still napping.  


I want to welcome all my new subscribers!!  Great to have you join me. 




BTW – JKJoker – I am so sorry I missed your comment.  Had I seen it before I returned the Rug Dr. I certainly would have made it over to do your carpets too. NOT! 


frejaluna – I do feel good doing stuff for my In-laws.  They really can’t do it for themselves anymore.  They live in a elderly housing complex in the town right next to us. 


MomMom2EandJ – I do believe we all should do some random acts of kindness when we can.  I wasn’t able to buy as many gifts this year nor did I want to clutter my In laws apartment with junk.  So it seemed like a good gift!

  1. I think giving your in-laws the gift of cleaning their place is a great idea!  I wish someone would do that for me for a holiday–I sure would love a gift like that.  Do you ever remember making coupon books for family as a kid?  I remember making one and giving it to my mom once with coupons to do different chores without complaining.  LOL, my dream is to have someone come over and clean my carpets . . . .
