Meet the Shaneyfelts

 I got up, grabbed a full glass of water, grabbed the computer, and turned on the local news until the Today Show aired.  During this time I did blog stuff….link ups, comment on a few blogs, and answer emails from the afternoon/night before.  Dustin woke up at 7 and joined me in the living room.

 I saw this on IG and died.  I need a little girl at some point in my life and I cannot wait to dress her in clothes like this!

 I ate breakfast at the breakfast table 😂😂 and kept the Today Show on so I could eat/read/listen….multitasking at its finest!

 Dustin was getting ready to leave to run some errands so I made him take a picture with me to document that we did spend the morning together haha!

 After he left for the gym, I continued to read (y’all, I was way behind…WAY).

 to Walmart!  
I spent way more money than I thought I did #notgoodatgrocerybudgeting

 And then I also headed to Kroger because there are a few things we get there that can’t be bought at Walmart.  I also buy all meat and produce from Kroger, too, but I didn’t get any of that this trip.

 I unloaded groceries and made my lunch.  Dustin ate lunch with his friend after they worked out at the gym.  He invited me along but I let the boys eat by themselves 😊  Notice that this time I’m eating at the dining table–we eat at both tables daily and sometimes only eat at our dining table.

 He got home and sat at the table with me while I read The Pioneer Woman magazine and he read my state retirement system newsletter.  Yes, this is who I’m married to.  Don’t ever get him started on the topic of finances.  He will talk forever.

 Then we decided to clean out the garage!!!  I thought this would be fairly quick, but no.  It took us over 3 HOURS.  I took this when we first started and I was still smiling.

 This is what Dustin had us do: take everything out of the garage and take everything off of all shelving and dust shelving plus dust all items on shelving.  I didn’t know this is what we were doing.  See that wood pile under the window?  We (meaning me) also had to dust off each piece of wood, move it, sweep that area a million times until Dustin was satisfied that it was clean enough, and then restack the wood where it went.  Even I questioned this amount of cleanliness and those who know me know I am very clean.

I may get aggravated when he tracks dirt or grass into the house or when he leaves crumbs all over the countertops and I constantly go behind him and wipe them up.  But when the man gets in the mood to clean, he DEEP CLEANS.  (Quick story–after putting away all of our Christmas decorations….which I did and he stacked in the attic…Dustin wanted us to deep clean the house.  I didn’t feel like it.  I can’t remember where I went but whenever I got home Dustin was washing all the baseboards in the house because he was in the mood to deep clean and he had also cleaned most of our ceiling fans, so I have to remind myself of his cleaning moods even if they are few and far in between haha!!)

After cleaning I started cutting up vegetables for supper.

I called Janie while doing all of this so we could discuss our section we read in our book.  I hate living over an hour away from my best friend, but it’s so nice when we still are able to do things together…like a book study.

We ate dinner together–roasted sweet potatoes and chicken sausage with sautéed squash and zucchini from my in-law’s garden!

I showered and Dustin watered the grass.

I sat down to answer and email and write this blog post!  I finally got in bed/collapsed in bed at 10!
