Housework support group!!???!!

Yeah, good for you!  You go girl.  I thought about it. LOL.  I should probably start thinking about starting something for dinner.  Maybe I can get him to bring home carryout?

You think YOU have a fabric addiction! Mine was so bad I opened a quilting store in 1998!

It closed in 2003 and I now have a sewing room in my house that I ALSO keep the door closed on. One of the cats started using it to shit in. It turned me off my projects and new sewing machine so bad I haven't been in it for a year! So sad......sigh.

Barbe-I have about 100 Boxes/Large containers of fabric...I could open a store.

That must have been fun buying fabric for the store.

Nice Litter Box.

 You should go in there & sew!  That new machine is feeling very neglected.

Ok- I switched the sheets to the dryer- LOL

Stacy - I bought the Wii fit for myself for Christmas.  My kids love it.  I watch them use it while I'm on the treadmill.  Someday I'm going to learn how to use it.  The Wii is set up in the finished  basement, the kids room.  In order for me to use the Wii fit, I need to pick up thousands of Lego's, K'nex, GI Joes...you get the picture.  By the time I'm done cleaning their stuff, I don't want to learn how to use it!  Let me know how you like it. Like, I totally hope you do.  For sure!!

Hey Wendy, I am in the same feeling mood as you about the house,  I used to be a obsessive /compulsive cleaner, everything everywhere organized by size, shaep etc, every hanger had to be in the same direction in the closets same with silverware, etc, etc,. But now its not that I don't care, its like is that really important, and I would stress myself out over it all.  No more, now I still like things neat, tidy and as clean as possible, but I have come to realize it's not the end of the world if soething has a bit of dust on it. The only thing I have not stopped doing is bed making, thats an absolute MUST for me, out of bed, bed is made, can't break that one yet.

I am not a fabric junkie, but like many I am a shoe junkie, when I went into an office everyday, its was ok I wore them all,  now they just sit around and collect dust, but still its so hard to pass by a new style or color, I think I should dust and organize my shoes Thursday.

XOXOXOXOXOXO -Cathi

Makraz, can you walk my dog for me when I work? She's a beagle and just loves to get out for walks.

I would love to walk the dogs for you all!  Coonie - I had a dachshund as a child.  My favorite dog in the world!  Her name was Munchkin.  Boy, I miss her.  Someday I will get another one.

I also love to cook so when I'm done walking your dogs, I will get dinner ready for you.  I wonder if I could make a business out of that.  Dog walker, will make your dinner too. 

I'm done cleaning for the night. Is 9:10 here.  enough is enough. Everyone else needs to quit too.

You don't by any chance live in the Bawston area do you? 

Someday I will open a little shop that sells meals to go.  The only thing that the very small town I live in has, is a train station  that takes you to Boston.  I want to open a small shop there and sell good homecooked meal and desserts to all the commuters.  Doubt the town would let me open, but I can dream.  My town is so small we have no post office, no supermarket, no fast food, nothing really except a library.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I kept seeing the thread name and finally couldn't resist logging in.  I could not stop laughing and some of the posts really made me feel better.  I keep thinking, "it's a good thing I don't have any little kids".  Our son was home for spring break and I found myself actually cooking a real dinner every night.  DH remarked that son should come home more often.  I was exhausted when he left.  I am so in awe of each and every one of you that gets up and goes to work, both inside and outside the home, while dealing with cards you've been dealt.  Sometimes I feel like such a wimp.  I have to keep reminding myself that 8 surgeries within 2 1/2 years is not something to take lightly and as much as you want to "keep going", it does take time to recover, both emotionally and physically.  You are all heroes in my book.

Well as someone else wrote, to keep this on track with the cleaning thread, maybe I'll go throw in a load of laundry.  Really early this AM, like 4:30 am, one of my kitties decided she wanted the straw out of the glass of Pepsi sitting next to the bed.  Next thing I heard was "glug, glug, glug" as the pop dripped down on a pile of socks that were waiting to be put in the drawer.  What a way to wake up!  I hit a light switch, grabbed a towel and started mopping up Pepsi off the carpet, throwing the wet socks in a pile.  DH awoke, wondering what the heck was going on, while the kittie stood there looking at me, wanting the straw.  I do love them but I just remembered I have a pile of socks in the main bathroom sink covered with varying degrees of Pepsi.  Getting them in the washer sooner than later would be best.

Have a great evening everyone and thanks again for the welcome.

Blessings,

Wendy,

omg...what a riot reading these posts.

Liz,I love the pic of your angel on the laundry...how comfy and precious.

Mom, I just loved the "How to clean your room". I felt like I actually cleaned a room after reading that.

Linda, I used to always make pizzelles in my younger days...for family parties and all.Now, I buy them at the supermarket. Arrange them nicely on trays, sprinkle powdered sugar on them, do the cellophane and ribbon wrap and than lie and say I made them...lol...aren't I terrible!

Oh, the machine has to be good and hot first and I always ruined the first few.

Cathi, I will pray for good results for your DD.

Shiny,best wishes for your bone scan.

Sun, lol on your cat and the pepsi. I have always have cats...right now I only have one.they play with the darndest things, don't they?

After work today, I had to volunteer at my church for about an hour. Then I came home, finished cleaning out my kitchen cabinets...got rid of some stuff..gonna donate it.Then I went back into spare bedroom and did a lil more cleaning.

Thanks to all of you for being my inspiration to get some long overdue organizing and cleaning done.

Have a good night's rest.

Hugs and prayers

Barbe - glad you made it home.  I laugh every time I read your posts.  Thanks for always entertaining me!

Wendy - cool catch, it's drinks Pepsi!

Candi - I went and bought them and am planning on adding the powdered sugar today along with a nice tray.  I was brought up by VERY Italian parents/grandparents and we ALWAYS made everything homemade.  I still do most of the time.  I just couldn't see spending anymore time or money on trying to make them for a bunch of 4th graders who will probably hate them, or use them as frisbees.  I know how boys think!

Now off to cleaning up the kitchen mess from the boys this morning.  Pancakes again, all over the place!

Morning Ladies

Shoot I have nothing on my list...Why?  Cause all the easy stuff is done.  Grrr.

I will maybe do more laundry- We are very behind in that...Thats still relatively easy.

I could put going through fabric back on my list.

Pancakes sound Yummy!  Chocolate Chip Ones?

Pam

Sharon, you are too funny! If we were actually doing housework, our computers would be off. Now read back on some of the posts and get an idea about the "rules". I'll help you out a bit. You only have to do ONE thing a day. For some of us, getting out of bed may be that one thing. (read back a bit to see what is said about making that bed once you get out of it.)

Have some fun with this and eat chocolate. 

Welcome to my friend Sharon!!! We REALLY don't work too hard around here:) I think we "talk" about it more than we actually "do" anything But it's the thought that counts, right?
