I've been deep-cleaning our house this week. It just felt right to be re-organizing and deep cleaning! Spring Fever? Maybe. I have been busy doing the girls room, our hallway, our storage closet and partially my bedroom but haven't made it downstairs to the kitchen/ family area. Because of all this re-organizing and deep cleaning, I've been sort of ignoring the kitchen area so there may or may not have been a few stacks of dishes that needed to be cleaned which I got to today. Go me! Except while in the kitchen, I noticed there was a gross smell. I thought surely the garbage needed to be taken out and it would be fine. Reed just came home from school and told me he had discovered the source. There was a dead mouse caught in one of our traps. EWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! How long that thing had been down there, I don't like to think. Someone needs to invent the mousetrap that beeps when it's full. Seriously.
POST EDIT: Make that 2 dead mice. EWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to Target today and checked out ALL the clearance! While checking out the clothes, I noticed a rack of 70% off coats that were plus-sized but I thought heck, if I found a cute enough one, maybe I could alter it somehow if the price was right. I found a REALLY cute leather coat sized 2XL and tried it on, expecting it to drown me. It didn't. It fit me perfectly. Umm, has Target changed their sizing or am I bigger than I think!?!? Maybe the coat was supposed to fit very snugly, not unlike those legging/jegging/skinny jeans? Sure hope so because I'm pretty sure I'm not that big.
I recently tried those new unjunked candy bars. (Maybe that's part of the problem why the 2XL coat fit me so well?) Did you know they are made in Boston! Cool beans!! Of all the ones I tried, I liked the Snickers one the best. It tasted the most normal. Something tasted funny with the M&M knock-offs.
As of this week, Bronwyn is done being potty trained. That girl is TRAINED! She got herself on the toilet this morning by herself - no guidance whatsoever from me or Reed and went potty. I came downstairs once I figured out Reed was in the shower and I discovered all of this fabulousness, and even went and checked her pullup and it was dry! She is so good! She tells us all the time when she needs to use the "toilet". She's really good at holding it and seems to go and take care of it before she has an accident. Now should you think this means she has no accidents, don't kid yourself. I've learned from potty training that it just means the child knows it's all supposed to happen on the toilet and accidents still happen. Bronwyn had one of those today too. Aftyn hasn't had an accident in 7 months, so I'm fully expecting it to take about a year and a half for accidents to completely stop with Bronwyn. Maybe sooner. She sure seems responsible for the most part about taking herself to the toilet.
Also, I went running today because it was 60 degrees this morning. My running could have something to do with my trip to Target. ;)
