"Enough is Enough"

Last night after work I came home, did a bit of house work (for 4hrs-I honestly love to clean so much I don't realize how fast time flys!)  made dinner, cleaned up dinner and was able to have some time in the night to kick back and relax with my hubby before bed :-)

I've been so busy the last week I haven't been able to keep up with my house work like I like to, so last night was a 'catch-up' night. Most of my readers know me quite well and know that cleaning for me is not a task or chore, but a joy and relaxation for me- as sick as that may sound to some! Cleaning is a way for me to unwind; I actually look forward to free evenings or weekend afternoons when I can clean. I get a lot of thinking and planning done in my head when I clean. I go into a 'zone'. lol

When my house is clean, I feel a sense of "ahhhh...I can relax and tackle the really dirty jobs in life!" lol
I feel I am more productive and motivated when my house is clean and organized.

Believe it or not, one of my first words as a child was "mess". lol
I have had a love for cleaning ever since I was very young (and have prayed that our child too will love to clean just as much and help mommy out with the house and church! hee hee)

Being pregnant, I still do just as much, if not more now, between balancing work, home life, church, my marriage, relationships/friendships, family, the baby, etc.  The only thing, if anything, that has tried to slow me down latley, it's my FEET!

Yup, you read right! You'd think it would be my back or being out of breath from carrying the extra weight or even feeling tired faster, but nope....it's my feet. They've been rebelling!!

As mentioned in a previous blog, my feet seem to hurt all day, every day now, but last night I pushed my feet to their limit!

It wasn't until I took my shower and climbed into bed last night that I realized how incredibly SORE my feet were. The pain hit me as soon as I lifted them off the floor into the bed.  I looked at them and they were red and swollen and SCREAMING to be tended too. They have never hurt so badly-ever!

Since I was on my feet all day and then on my feet for another 4hours cleaning, come the end of the evening my feet said "enough is enough" and checked out and put up a "closed" sign for the day. lol

Dennard tired to massage them for me, but the pain was so intense even the massage didn't help :-(  His hands were getting tired and sore and my feet were still in just as much pain.

The baby wasn't going for the massage either as he/she was kicking and punching up a storm every time Dennard  rubbed my foot. It came to the point where I said "Ok...this is not working! My feet are still in intense pain and now the baby's upset!!". LOL

At one point the baby pushed his/her foot really hard against the right side of my tummy as if to say "my foot next please" or "stop the madness...I can't rest with all the massaging!". lol

Long story short, I feel asleep with throbbing feet :-( They still hurt today, but it's manageable.

I'd pay big money right now for someone to just spend an hour massaging my feet and legs. If there is anyone out there who wants to volunteer, you have my cell number!!! LOL Just Kidding!
