Everyday of my life I say to myself "Can I please have ONE drama free day?" Well the answer is mostly NO. And today, Christmas Eve was NO exception to that. The bottom line is this, IT SUCKED.
Carrie and I knew that we had 3 house cleanings to do today and we were going to get them all done by 5pm so we could have a nice Christmas Eve, opening presents and enjoying life like we always do. WRONG. The day started out fine, we left Fort Collins 8 minutes early and the drive was nice. We went to the shed to get the cleaning supplies, that were frozen, but we had a plan for that, and then went to our first house to clean. This house is so nice and SO easy to clean, well not today. I walked in the door and it was FREEZING. Colder than outside. I dropped my things, ran to the thermostat and it was OFF, ran to the kitchen sink, it was FROZEN. Shit, shit, shit. Ran back to the thermostat, turned it on high and ran around the house to check the other thermostats and they were all OFF too. And none of the sinks or showers were working. OH NO. It was 32 degrees inside, I didn't think this was a good thing. I stripped all the beds and hoped that the pipes would magically thaw! Ha. Nope, I called the Management company and they came right over. Not good. We went to our other 2 cleans got the laundry and started cleaning. Nothing else could go wrong right??? WRONG.
The 1st house went fine, but the 2nd house was a dirty mess. Hadn't been professionally cleaned in over a year. GROSS. So we cleaned. The sink stopper wouldn't come out, so we did some magic tricks for an hour and it finally came out. It was now 6:30pm. Way past our 5pm deadline and 1 house didn't even get cleaned. I was done, wanted to cry and everyone was in a VERY bad mood.
I finally was able to take a shower and get some food. Drank some wine, that helped but not that much. I wanted this day to end and be out of my mind forever.
I got to see some of my friends and that was nice! This is my friend Heather! Love to hang with her always!
Everyone wanted me to go out, but I wasn't going to. I needed to relax! This is Dixa and Krzysztof trying to get me to go out. Love you, but NOPE.
Opened some really great presents and had a very nice time with Carrie and cousin Jessica!
Merry Christmas Eve everyone. Tomorrow will be a great and drama free day!
