Venture forth

So after doing mass amounts of laundry yesterday I realized that the majority of my daughters clothes are too small for her so we went shopping yesterday!
Got her lots of cute things, some a bit to big but she'll grow into them. I figured we had gotten most of our chores done so we deserved a break, plus I really needed to get out of the house for a bit.
It's funny how looking at the same four walls makes you go a little crazy after a while. Or maybe not so much since solitary confinement is supposed to be a torture method. Makes me a bit curious as to how they get away with those kinds of things in prison. I know they classify it as a severe punishment and everything but still. Having spent some time stuck in the house I can feel their pain. But then again I guess that is the whole concept behind prison; punishment for the crimes you committed. Now we just have to find a way to make house wives and stay at home moms feel a little less imprisoned.

I know there are a lot of you out there who will say "Well I go out and do things every day. So I don't feel that way at all." You are also probably the same ladies I see at the store dressed to the nines to go grocery shopping because you are a house wife out of want; not necessity or it being forced upon you. Myself on the other hand, well I just graduated from college in one of the worst economies this nation has seen in over 50 years. So I stay at home with my two year old because we can’t afford to have only one parent working and pay for daycare.
On a more positive note I did get my resume finished so I am going to send it out to a few places. I would try the old drop it off method but with munchkin in tow that doesn't work quite as well. So I'll email it to a few people and see what happens.

As for today, it's been a bit of a lazy day so far and maybe we'll manage to tackle some dishes and definitely need to get the kitchen floor cleaned; may be in need of a deep cleaning; hands and knees with dilute bleach and/or softscrub. Sometimes the mop just doesn't quite cut it. Though I do have to admit I got one of those Quickie mops with the reservoir on the side and the washable pads for the bottom and it is great for the easy once a week mop up to keep the floors fresh. Plus if I run my Oreck simply sweep over it first, cleans up a lot more dog hair and little dust bits that would otherwise clog up the mop too fast.

Time to go curl up with the bean and watch a movie, try to get her to take a nap, and maybe finish up a crochet project. Then put together my "To Do" for next week. Have to figure out a way to fit in some more play dates too. Might even venture to the indoor play facility that went in up the street... We'll see.
