Domestic Diva-fication
August 10th, 2009 by Kateastrophe
I had one of THOSE weekends. The kind of weekend where the working girl shoulder angel is sitting over there pouting while the domestic shoulder angel is patting herself on the back. She woke me up at 8:15 rearing and ready to go, go, go while the working girl shoulder angel re-he-heally wanted to sleep. Normally, sleeping wins but today, the domestition got the best of us.
Together this weekend my domestic shoulder angel and I accomplished the following:
- Made belgian waffles. FROM SCRATCH.
- Made whipped cream, again, from scratch (Ok well sort of. I didn’t really like, milk the cow or anything. I just whipped it up in a cold bowl with some sugar.)
- Made fruit salad
- Made homemade wheat bread (is it from scratch if you used a bread maker? No? Dammit.)
- Made homemade strawberry ice cream (again, with the help of a machine but STILL)
- Cleaned every single kitchen appliance
- Scoured the kitchen counters and made them sparkle
- Swept and mopped the tile floors
- Vacuumed the carpet
- Re-arranged and fluffed the sagging couch cusions (down is so very soft but so very . . . saggy)
- Did two loads of dishes
- Dusted my house (which thanks to the Arizona desert is now completely covered in dust already. Yay)
- Worked out
- Took a NAP
Seriously, worker-angel and I are exhausted. EXHAUSTED. Matt just watched me in my frenzy, mostly confused. I love to cook and all but I took it to a whole new level over the weekend. I admit I had a blast but I’m not likely to give a repeat performance.
Unless I’m pregnant and nesting.
WHICH I’M NOT.
Which one of your shoulder angels won the battle this weekend?

My “work out and get some rest” shoulder angel won this weekend. Haha, but I also managed to squeeze in a trip to IKEA just to pick up a picture frame, and actually cooked dinner froms scratch, so the domestic shoulder angel had some say in it, too.
I’m really impressed with what you did this weekend though. WOW

There are no shoulder angels for house chores only shoulder demons. I was guilted into yard work.

The one that likes to fly away spontaneosuly and look for adventure in the unlikeliest of places.

Hahaha. Bring some of that energy to my house, please. No angels won at my house. Unless there’s an angel of lazy chaos…

Oh, I think it’s homemade if it’s from the brad maker. Totally.

I was totally positive when I got halfway through that list that you were going to announce your pregnancy at the end of the post, so I appreciate the NOT pregnant disclaimer! And I don’t appreciate you talking about all the amazing food you made from SCRATCH when some of us are trying to lose the rest of our baby weight. Warm bread? Strawberry ice cream?! I might just have to SCRATCH your eyes out… from scratch.

My driving angel won, of course, since I drove 18 hours this weekend to spend 36 hours with my husband. Sooo great to see him, but driving 1000 miles every weekend is tiring.
You did some amazing stuff this weekend!! I bet your hubby was so excited to have all the homemade treats!

Dude, bread in a breadmaker is still totally from scratch.
