Yesterday Blah...Today Fired UP!

OK, so yesterday, I'm just feeling blah.  thought it was because the weather. It was very dark and either rainy/snowy pretty much all day long. I couldn't get motivated to go out or work out. So (stupid me) decided to clean out my boys rooms. I started with my real pack rat, Alec. Every single drawer looked as if a tornado had personally gone in it. The sock/under ware drawer had to be the worst. Probably about 50% of the socks were dirty. Some even paired back together, dirty! Other socks were lonely and had no mates. Some socks appeared to have been viciously attacked by a squirrel or rodent of some type with holes and other snags. Almost as if a horrible experiment has been performed on them. The bottom drawer was broken. That is where he had kept his pants and jeans. There was only one pair of jeans in there, since I was doing laundry at the time. There was some sort of funky liquid all over the bottom of the drawer. Not sure what that was? Next, move to the closet. Let's see, I found his back pack from last years summer camp. Filthy and full of dirty clothes, socks and other items from months ago! I found chap stick near his bed that he apparently experimented with. I was picking chap stick up out of the carpet for a while. I found a pair of iPhone headphones, completely dismantled. No wonder he always looks so tired! He probably doesn't sleep all night ~ just performs experiments on his stuff. The rest of his room goes like more of the same. Little pieces of garbage every where, broken toys, parts, candy wrappers, dirty socks balled up and thrown behind the bed, in the closet and wherever they were "flung" to. The worst part was that he had gone to his grandparents over the weekend and the bag from his stay was in the corner. Dirty clothes still in there, untouched. But here's the killer: He had been home for 2 days and had not yet retrieved his personal items from the bag. So basically he had not brushed his teeth or hair for 2 days!

My grandmother on my paternal side had four boys. Now, I have a better understanding of what she may have gone through raising boys. My little brother was 10 years younger than me, and I have to say I don't remember him being so grossly piggish or destructive!

Regardless of yesterday being such a downer over all the cleaning "chronicles", today I am still a bit "mad".  And, when I'm mad I seem to get very motivated. I got a lot of stuff done around here this morning, despite a scratchy throat. (Probably precipitated by all  the dust and dirt in Alec's room). I went up to Walmart and bought myself a cool mist humidifier for my room. I plan on setting it up as soon as I'm done with my breathing treatment. Then after my workout and after lunch ~ I plan on taking a nice leisurely nap with my new humidifier!
Peace~
