Going Green and Random Thoughts

I’m thankful that we all are living in a time where it is cool to do your part in saving the earth….As I was walking to Dillon’s yesterday to pick up a few produce items for dinner I kept telling myself over and over again, I’m doing my part by walking, trying to convince myself that it’s cool to walk to the store…all the while thinking that if I drove, I would be there by now, and done in 10 minutes…instead it took me 10 minutes to walk there, and by the time I got home 45 minutes had passed…As I was walking home from the store, I made a mental note…don’t ever buy too much, as the bag is heavy, and I have to carry it home! I just picked up a few items, and brought along my own tote, so for yesterday I did my part in “going green”….some what reluctantly, but I did it…
You’re maybe wondering why I was home yesterday…I took a vacation day and took advantage of having the house to myself to clean…yes, I know, a vacation day to clean doesn’t sound like the best thing to do with a vacation day, but the house really needed it! We are almost done with the bathroom remodel, and the dust was unbelievable and everywhere. I cleaned from 8:45 till 4 when I headed out for the store. I was a gorgeous day and the sun was shining which I LOVED about the walk. The exercise was good too! The only bad part about spending an entire day cleaning is that as soon as the kiddos come home, it doesn’t quite feel as clean anymore..especially when they spill milk all over the kitchen floor, which is what happened this morning! Oh well!
