All weekend it was a madhouse here. I started getting the house ready for the return of hubby. This was sped up by the fact that the airflow vent to the main water line that controls the kitchen and laundry room drains got blocked and dumped water on the floor.
I was rockin the joint, cleaning behind the washer, scrubbing out the fridge, washing walls, scrubbing floors, all the while being cautiously excited that he would be home “any day now”. I had my laundry washed, dried, and put away, rotated my mattress, made everything look great. I was ready.
Then…delayed. Now granted, this is to be just a few days. It’s nothing like the last delay that kept him deployed an extra four months. But still it’s enough to invoke /Jessrage at the Air Force. They have some sort of Snafu going, I don’t know if they lost the keys to the plane or what but as of yesterday my husband was STILL in the waiting area.
The nervous energy is killing me. yesterday? I steam cleaned the living room. THREE TIMES!! I then proceeded to get the dining room into dining shape instead of scrapbooking chaos. THEN I went to the PX and got towels, and potholders, and placemats. My kitchen now has a coffee theme, my dining room table looks like people actually eat there, and both bathrooms have two full sets of matching towels. That’s right. I finally made some homey touches. Five months before we move.
All because the waiting is driving me crazy. And ya know what? I’ll probably tear through my bedroom today. Because I cannot STOP!!!
You can come clean my house while you wait! please?
I am sorry about the delay, that really sucks. But he will be back soon.
And seriously, my home could sure use some TLC in the way of serious cleaning. Plenty to keep your mind off the wait.
