I Suck At Power Washing

On Wednesday, I did probably the most productive thing all week: I worked on the house. I am currently in-between jobs. I don't start my new job until Monday. And I left my previous place of employment on Friday. So I have been off the entire week. Unfortunately, the work never stops when you are raising a two year old (Briana) and a newborn daughter (Bridget).

This past Wednesday, my mother-in-law came down for a visit. Luckily for me, she decided to take Briana out for a walk around the neighborhood. Consequently, that left me ample time to finally do something productive this week: power wash the house. Now, I suck at power washing.

My house desperately needed a good washing. Dirt and green slime were beginning to climb up the vinyl siding. Heck, my friends (Dolores and Loser Tom) even noticed the filth that was on the outside of the house when they had visited on Saturday.

It's weird how raising two children seems to suck the time away. Needless to say, with the free time thanks to my in-laws, I power washed the house. It felt fantastic to actually get something accomplished other than changing dirty diapers, doing laundry, giving baths, or getting breakfast, lunch and dinner ready for the kids. Granted, I was absolutely soaked from washing the house. Mental note: wear a rain jacket the next time. As well, do not spray the hose upward above your head because the water will come back down.

All in all, it was a great day.
