WWTK : Cleaning? What's That?





Photobucket


{1} Fantasy style, money is no object, if you could pick one type of help which would it be? Why?
A. maid 
B. nanny
C. personal chef
MAID - It wouldn't even be up for discussion with the Ball and Chain.  And honestly I don't think he would argue with me on this one.  Which would be a first!

{2} What is your least favorite household chore?
Cleaning bathrooms.  I don't do them. EVER! I thought a few weeks back I would give it a try.  You know with it being a new year and all.  But I only got half way done, maybe not even that far, and walked out.  They are gross, smell, and I don't pee on the seat or the rim. So why should I clean them??


{3} What is your least loathed (or favorite) household task/ daily chore?
I don't mind vacuuming.  It's really not that hard.  Turn it on and.... it goes on it's own.  I LOVE my iRobot! ;)

{4} What is your favorite cleaning supply? Do you have any magic cleaning tips to share with your readers?
Cleaning supply??  Umm...........  My cleaning tip to share with you guys??  Marry a man who enjoys to clean.  My Ball and Chain actually has a cleaning caddy.  True Story!  Yes, he is a rockstar!

{5} What is your usual housework avoidance activity?
If it's during the week, I'll make it a point to help out more at my children's school.  Or I'll say I have errands to run.  Of course then I'll get home only in time to get ready for work.  If it's the weekend, PINTEREST!! Horrible obsession at the moment!  LOL

I Confess : I Lock Myself in My Pantry

Photobucket


I confess... There are days I want to lock my children in a closet.

I confess... I have never locked my children in a closet.  But I have locked myself in my pantry.  The garage.  Bathroom.  And my closet.

I confess... I have more patience for other peoples children and slim to none for my own.

I confess... There are times I curse, when I know I shouldn't, to emphasis the point I'm trying to get across.

I confess... When I was a kid I swore I wouldn't be so hard on my children as my parents were on me.

I confess... That hasn't worked out so well.

I confess... Our pantry is my favorite place to hide. Case in point...



I confess... My oldest son is behind in his 2nd grade learning and I feel it's my fault and I'm failing him as a parent.

I confess... I am notorious for complaining about my children climbing into my bed, but there are nights when they don't climb in that I go and get them.

I confess... I was a much better mother before I actually had my children.

I confess... Even though there are days all I do is scream and doubt myself as a mother, I wouldn't trade it for the world!


Happy Friday! What do you need to confess this week? Link up HERE!

I Confess : What A Crock of Shit

Photobucket

I Confess...

There is no part of child birth that's fun!  It's hard, it's messy, and any thought of modesty goes out the window when you have four strangers standing around looking at your whoha.  Then there is the pain.  If someone tells you pushing something the size of a cantaloupe, and sometimes larger, out of a 9cm hole is easy, they're on crack rock.  Or pain medication.
  
But then you hold your child for the first time and you are blown away.

I Confess...

Being a parent is one of the HARDEST jobs you will ever have!  I read a blog post this morning stating parenthood wasn't difficult.  My first thought was she's full of shit.  Actually I think my exact post was, "What a crock of shit."  My second thought, which I kept to myself, "I want what she's having!"  Two Prozac's and a shot of tequila???
  
On the flip side, it's one of the most FULFILLING jobs you will ever have!

I Confess...

Marriage isn't easy.  No part about it is easy.  Not even the sex is easy once you have kids!  It's constant work.  Constant learning.  Constantly finding the middle ground.  There will be ups, and there will be downs.  At times you may doubt yourself.  Nothing is perfect, no marriage is great.  But you get what you give, so give 110%.

Makeup sex is always better anyways, right? ;)

I Confess

Photobucket


I confess...

There are times I use the fact I have children to my advantage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On April 15th $$$$...

Telling someone else what to do is acutally my job...
 
Cheap maid service...

I get to use the diamond lane on the freeway...

Free entertainment...

They are the perfect alibi when I don't want to attend an event...

Never ending compliments...

I am able to order off the children's menu for myself...

Job security...

They love me unconditionally...

AND
AND
AND

When the "headache" excuse isn't working...


Happy Friday! What do you Confess today? Link up HERE.

We Want to Know Wednesday



Photobucket



{1} What is your most commonly used word or phrase when you are frustrated?
Since my blog doesn't contain an "adult contain warning" I'll have to go with something a little more tame like, "You got to be freakin' kidding me!" A "what the hell" slips out every so often. Along with quite a few other sailor words.
  
{2} What random question do you usually get from strangers or casual acquaintances?
I really can't think of a question a random stranger has asked me. The monkey's kids that follow me around seem to ward off anyone who would want to make verbal contact with me. And if you don't believe me I welcome you to join me on my next shopping trip. I wouldn't want to talk to me either!

{3} Did you ever correspond by mail with anyone, who? Do you still have the letters?
Sure do. All the time! PG&E, SMUD, Wells Fargo, Visa, AT&T... For some reason these fools keep asking me to send them money. Even when I throw the letters away, they still keep coming!

{4} Do you dance in public? why or why not?
Duh!!! Of course!! I have no shame shaking what my mama gave me!! She gave me enough to shake so I might as will.

{5} What is your favorite kind of chapstick/lip balm?
I'll pass on the chapstick. Call me crazy, but something about sticky stuff on my lips just doesn't do it for me. ;)
