Hold it, we're supposed to be taking care of the kids? Dang, there goes my mother of the year award again! Heck, I made my DS clean bathrooms tonight and DD had to do dishes and clean the kitchen. I made them do this while I stood in the laundry room pretending to do laundry.

I cant wait for my kids to be old enough to do REAL chores. Alex can pick up.. Kinda do some dishes.. But just nothing enough to be SUPER helpful. I dream of pawning my work off on my kids! With four kids, I wont ever have to get off the couch again!!

Bologna is just hot dog meat that got squished flat. So you've probably never had a fried bologna sandwich.

I HAVE had a fried bologna sandwich. Not a huge fan of them. Or hot dogs.. But Kaylee ate four of them for dinner tonight. She was THRILLED.

The only problem is once they are old enough to do the work they:

A. Get a smart alec mouth.

B. Get mad when you tell them how to do it properly, say "I know, you don't have to tell me", then proceed to do it wrong.

C. Go into the bathroom and spend about an hour in there right after dinner because they know you will make them do dishes if they are spotted anywhere near you.

I had to laugh the other day Chelsie told me that I was going to be in for a shock when she moves out...because she's the main house cleaner around here. OMG!!! I have to tell her 15 times to vacuum the floor and it takes her 4 days before she gets it done.

OY! I forgot about that. Alex is already starting to get sassy. And Kaylee?? OMG. SHe is going to be horrid. CANT WAIT.

Has your DD been talking to my DH?

I really need to file a complaint to management. The snack situation around this house really sucks. I swear I have a house full of food and nothing good to snack on. I'm resorting to some sorta Healthy Microwave Popcorn...I'll probably have to melt a stick of butter to get it to taste good.

I HATE that! My dh really hates that. If there is nothing quick and unhealthy... then there is nothing for him to eat AT ALL. He will just starve and DIE.

Yep, we should just call them Betty Crocker & Mr. Clean! The Domestic God and Goddess.

Outstanding!!

Yep, I know the feeling. I'm going to sit here and starve in a house that has 26 jars of spaghetti sauce, 25 boxes of cereal, and 15 jars of PB.

Awesome! That will impress the cops for sure.

OMG! I'm watching an HGTV show and a young couple is looking for their first home. The lady didn't like the pool because the water was murky looking. Seriously lady, you can clean the pool!

I HATE those shows. I dont like the color of the walls.. I dont like the this.. that.. whatever! Or better yet.. the FURNITURE. HEY DIP WAD. The furniture goes with the people when they move out.

I seen one the other day that was next to a sausage factory. Every 15 minutes there was noise and a giant burst of steam. The people didn't even seem to be fazed or even be concerned by it. But by gosh, they didn't like the gray paint in the bedroom.

I tried that line of logic on Noah when he asked if I got hot dogs. He wasn't impressed, I got the blank stare and then the eye rolling routine with "mom?? no .... sigh"

Yep, my duties of mom were complete for the day.. torture teenager -- CHECK! And that's about all I did yesterday.

I did help E with dialysis, another spraying wet mess but I'm getting faster at trying to catch it before it lands on the carpet. I can just imagine if our bedroom was a crime scene, the investigators would have a busy time analyzing the carpet around the chair.

Today, didn't bother to do a thing beyond taking care of myself. I made a nest in the living room and happily watching Grey's Anatomy on NetFlix. Didn't make batch for dialysis tonight, didn't wash dishes, my bed is a mess because I had every blanket on top of me this morning (and was still cold) - I pushed it off me and tore off one cover and my sheet to "nest " in the living room. The cat is loving the blanket pile, she's been curled up in there all day.

I'm going to have J and N do dishes and make dinner, thank goodness for quick zappable meals.

 

[staley7580]

Awww. Still sick?? Thats a bummer! I napped all morning. Well, once the babies laid down for there morning nap. I hope you get better soon.. Being sick is NO GOOD.

 

[staley7580]

Okay.. I am totally creeped out. I just got friended on Facebook by my father in law. GAG.

 

[staley7580]

Okay.. that is sad. I just okayed his friendship on DHs profile.. and he has NO other Friends. Maybe ill okay him on mine then.
