Why??? Because I was stupid. It’s as simple as that.

You see, I had this wonderful, surprise present yesterday. A friend of mine came over and cleaned my house for me! Isn’t that awesome? She and her sister-in-law scrubbed the kitchen and dining room floors, scrubbed down the tables and chairs, and washed walls! What a super surprise!

Brett did a lot of helping and even enjoyed it. Here is a photo of Brett and Emily toward the end of the cleaning session.

So why was I stupid? I’m getting to that.

My friends arrived in the late afternoon and finished cleaning right before dinner time. As I contemplated what to make for dinner, I just couldn’t bring myself to dirty my clean kitchen. Afterall, wouldn’t it be nice if it stayed clean for at least 12 hours???

So, I packed everyone up, and headed to McDonalds. (No that wasn’t the stupid part).

The stupid part was that when I got there, I ordered myself a large sweet tea. And I don’t normally do caffeine. That was part of the stupid part.

The really stupid part was that I drank the entire thing knowing I would have trouble falling asleep. Last evening I didn’t care. This morning at 2 am I cared. And this morning at 7:00 am when I had to get up and wash the milk tote for Colter I REALLY cared.

So the moral to the story is: when friends scrub your kitchen floor, do not drink sweet tea.
