revelation

We're having some new people in the house tonight and I've taken it as motivation to get as much done as I can around the house before I run off to watch my brother.

I've been putting off cleaning the kitchen floor until I had the wet swiffer things, but today I decided I needed to just get it done. So I got on my hands and knees and did it the old fashioned way.

And it occurred to me: this is a workout. I don't need to exercise separately today. I already spent 30 minutes scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees. And vacuuming everything with my twelve-pound two-month-old tied to me in his sling. That involved some lunge action. And carrying tons of boxes around (ugh, yes, we are STILL not done unpacking) was working out, too.

I guess the revelation is that I could be in way better shape if I just cleaned more. Also, perhaps it's better all around if I just use my washcloths and cleaner spray instead of getting swiffer wipes.
