I've got a case of the 'blahs'  these days; guess I just need to snap out of it!  My house looks  like someone picked it up and shook it around like a snow globe and put it back down.   It'd be funny if it weren't so true. :)

We had wood floors put in the entire dowstairs of our home this week.  It was interesting having the refrigerator in the foyer and the stove in the dining room and the table in the family room, and - you get the picture.  Things were moved around from room to room until the whole house was complete. 

And....something that I learned along the way -- I really need to get into the habit of dusting!  Good grief! I'm surprised that my visitors haven't written "Dust Me" on the furniture on their way out. (Thank you friends!)  It's a good thing that no one in my family is allergic to dust!  I've always said that the one thing that I nevet get to is dusting...and I found out just how true that is this week.  Dusting will now be somewhere near the top of the list so that it actually gets done...that was embarrassing! 

But, to put in a plug for the Dyson vacuum cleaner....when they pulled out our carpets, there was no dust in the padding.  I love that thing!  The carpet had been in the house for four years since we built  the house.  The first time that we used the Dyson we vacuumed the family room....and filled the canister!  We vacuumed a lot before,  but other vacuums were just sweeping up the surface stuff....the dyson goes down to the padding and actually picks up all of the dust out of the carpet.  Our carpets looked almost new after getting the Dyson.   They're a little pricey, but so worth the money.  We were having to buy a new vacuum every year.  So far, a year later, the Dyson is still running strong...

So, I need to exercise, but my husband is sick and resting and I can't get the exercise stuff out.  The boys are watching television and playing on the computer -- Saturday and Sunday are the only days when they are allowed to have "screen time" so they wake up on the weekends and run downstairs like it's Christmas morning.   I've washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen from having a house full of workmen in it the last few days.

Now...I've just got the blahs.  I don't wanna read (maybe I'm getting sick, lol), don't wanna cook, don't wanna call anyone, it's raining so I can't take a walk....(apparently, I don't "wanna" write correctly either. :) )

I suppose that I really should get back to dusting - oh joy, I can't wait.  :)
