Fall day

What a lovely day it has been! Unfortunately, we had to spend a good chunk of it getting the duplex ready for our next tenant. . .but I was still able to enjoy the cool breeze coming in through the windows.

Right now I’m sitting in my living room chair looking around my house and feeling this huge sense of pride. There’s not a clump of hair or dirt to be found and it smells of cinnamon brooms and fresh laundry. Unfortunately, the yard didn’t get mowed and Milo didn’t get a bath. . .ohh, and the toilets didn’t get scrubbed and the weeds didn’t get pulled. . .but we do what we can. I take a whole lot of pride in my house though and I think Kevin would say the same. Even when I rented an apartment, I tried to respect wherever it was I called home. I’d say the biggest downfall to having rental property is seeing how disrespectful people are of their “home”. What’s even worse is having to clean up that disrespect. Uhhhh. I am very thankful for Kevin though and his decision to buy the duplex back in the day. It’s a good source of income for us that I never want to take for granted, and I will always do what needs to be done (with small amounts of whining) in order to keep that running smoothly.

Now my favorite day of the week is slowly coming to an end. . . and there’s still so much more to be done. Groceries to be bought and clothes to be hung. . .but I guess there’s plenty of time for that stuff. Tonight I will relax with my husband and watch Sarah Palin impersonating Tina Fey on SNL. Thank God for Tivo!
