Cleaning My Room

Ask me how far Ive gotten...

HAHA.

I suck and we have alot of stuff.

So He Wanted To Show The Place

I pretty well figured that.

The whole packing and cleaning as I go isnt working for me so I have moved to another strategy. Room to room. (If you say I told you so or duh Ill smack you.)

Ive started in teh bathroom becuase I scrub bathrooms for extra spending money LOL. I cleared it out and I am going to go scrub in a few minutes.

Then the hallway, then samaras room.

Ill let you know how that goes.

The More I Blog...

The less I hvae to say.


LOL


Kev is back to work (I work tomorrow and Wednesday.) I really want to get something big done while he is gone today. I plan on making Chili (Which is always pretty big LOL). I want to do our dvd shelves. It has been awhile since theyre were neat so why not. Plus I would like to go through our clothes. We all have FAR more than we need. FARRRR MORE. If we had less clothes then less would ahve to be put away. LOL.

I would also like to get our fridge cleared out.

Those are my plans.

Cleaning House

I know, Yeah right.

Anyone getting tired of me talking about cleaning (or not doing it)? Know why I always do? Becuase I am obsessed with the idea of a clean house. I am starting to accept that it si an unattainable goal. and I hate those!


I am quite pleased with the kitchen the past few days though... LOL

Holy Crazy Baby Batman

Woke up at 8 this moring totally pooped and my throat in ain. Not sore but pain. It was the same yesterday. (its feeling much better now thanks lol). I was tired!!! Donavan didnt go to bed last night until we did and he still tried to play. Not acceptable behaviour... I ahve 2 days/ 2 nights before teh birth control comes off and its been awhile! (but thats a rant for another day...). Hit the mall to pick up my step father's b-day gift, the splash pants for samara that I had forgotten 2 days in a row and finish easter. Plus groceries. Put donavan's new doggy backpack leash on him and left the stroller. Surprisingly it went well. He held my hand walking but when he wanted to drop my hand and explore while I was talking etc then he was able to safely without leaving my sight. It was awesome.

He was crabby mind you and threw a few random fits but I ignored it... Mind you I got a few dirty looks in zellers standing in line when I A) held the leash tightly so he couldnt reach the display then B) he ran at teh displays and landed on his butt yelling bloody murder. Mwhaha I am a terrible momma.

From the mall we walked over to superstore. He didnt want in the cart but I grabbed his legs so he couldnt climb out. See... meanie. Grocery shopping went quite well.

I am obviously home now and I put the groceries away. I wanted a turkey dinner so I picked up a bird and the trimmings. In a few days itll be turkeytime. gobble gobble!!

The house is super messy with alot of laundry in transition. That is my plan for today. Plus I am planning on making a few batches of bunny chocolate chunk cookies. MMMMMMMMMM.

:D

Finally off!!!

Alot of cleaning to do today! I got a small start with dishes and some laundry in the machines. Now for some folding :)

Ill keep you updated.

For Blogging Sake

Good grief I am a boring blogger lately. I just dont feel like typeing lately LOL. I need to clean and declutter to feel more human again I think. I cleared 2 junk drawers and felt great yesterday but then i walked into the living room and then all my happy left. What a mess lately. I am at a total loss for how to stay on top of things. Mind you I am never actually on top to begin with. Sheesh.

Saturday and all that Jazz

It was a year this month (Early January) that Donavan had surgery on his skull to remove the Epidermal Cyst. Scary time. He was 6 months old. This is his after surgery with his cute roommate at the IWK, Brookelynn. She had had surgery to make her achillies tendon longer a dayor 2 earlier.

More cleaning. Another day a doller less. Ugh...

I am really into reading historical romances again right now and I think after I finish the one im reading now I only have 1 left AHHHHHH.

I got a ton of laundry done yesterday. Slightly more to do today. Fricing bathroom sink clogged last night. Yuck.

Kev is home today and tomorrow and we are flat broke. Never a fun way to be. I am okay with relaxing but he is so wanting to do something but cant decide what. AND WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT.

lol

I am so excited about next week. I love having plans. Monday is maggies then I think were walking with tara. Drs appt for donavan and I after lunch. Donavan needs his 18 month needles. I need a refill on birth control before i run out.

Watched Mirrors last night. It was actually pretty good. Not as scary as i thought though (But what ever is?).

Did I Say I Got Lots Done Yesterday?

SO MUCH MORE TODAY!

I printed some flylady tips and went on a 15 minute per room rampage. WOW.

Well back to it. I think I am at the livingroom again now!

Wow

You,wouldnt believe all I got done Yesterday. I almost cant believe it!

Samara's room visibly done. (all thats left is teh hell that is under her bed!!!). Her toys and Donavan's are all in there neatly. And the boxes labeled usuing our new printer :)

All the ornaments off the tree (cept the star cause it is too high haha). The living room looks like a livingroom again. All of the bags of paper and boxes are gone. (Well if i get the chance theyre in the porch waiting to be taken out.) I think kevin thinks I leave the bags out there on purpose to annoy him but really it is just too hard on everyone for me to try to sneak them outside. Especially since Donavan wont take a nap. (Beucase he is evil. too true).

Got some good information off teh net last night on creating meal plans. I cant wait to have money to get groceries and officially start. 2009 will be our year to get healthy.

Put my turkey in this morning. I wanted to put it in last night before bed (around midnight) at 250 then turn it up this mornign to finish but kev insisted that it would dry it out cooking that long blah blah blah (Becuase he has cooked a million turkeys in his days, right?) and so in the oven it went at 400 this morning. And if we all die of food poisoning I hope his case is worst and he really suffers then it WILL be "I told you so."

Got our xmas gifts from Laura last night. She got me socks and a shirt, donavan a musical cookie jar thing, Samara a movie, playdoh and a game to hook to the tv and kev a screwdriver thing. I wasnt expecting anything from them (as I am not acknowleging her as family anymore... But i guess it was a nice gesture, I am too bitter to think otherwise... Like WOW a shirt and socks! Should we take that off teh $2000 she owes me?!?!? See, bitter. Not so xmas-y, right?)

Kev got me the last 2 twighlight books for xmas. Right before I gave in and bought them figureing that they couldnt be too bad. LOVED them. Loved the first, liked the second, loved the 3rd, okay on teh 4th. I wish they didnt end and am hoping the author writes mroe, maybe on others' stories? Donno. Now to get charlene harris's whole series. MWAHAHA.

Now to go gag my shotty daughter before I am tempted to beat* her for insolence. GRRRRAWWWWWWWR.


*no I dont beat my children... just torment them... lots of torment...

...

Tomorrow we go to Moncton to see about Kev's allergy test. Im trying to call teh doctors office right now becuase once again kev's med card is AWOL. Tracy is really good about giving me the number in times like this.

Ian sent the maintenance today. I am very surprised becuase I wasnt expecting it until saturday. We will be able to pay rent ON TIME (ish) this month!!! YAY! Way to get caught up!

I am a sucky cleaner so I didnt get much done at all as usual, better luck next time??? LOL. I managed to clean teh YUCK and crap from under the dining room table at least. seriously though I didnt do much else. I took the dirty clothes from the bathroom and straightened up the toilet paper. I folded the clean clothes and put the washer clothes to dry and more dirty to be washed. Now I am waiting for the dryer to stop to start teh cycle of laundry over again. Always a blast. Gotta pick Samara up too.

HOPEFULLY Samara doesnt have pink eye!!! Hung out with the pink crew yesterday so I am more cautious today. Last night she was playing with her eyeball in the mirror (pulling the bottem lid down) and she scratched/ irritated her eye. This morning she woke up with a swollen eye. It wasnt bright pink but now I am thinking, "OH GOD WE'LL ALL GET PINK EYE!!!" LOL. No big deal though ;)

Freaking rain. Thats all I can say about THAT.

Ever Get Tired Of Hearing I Can't Clean?

I NEED TO CLEAN.

Donavan is coming home after school adn I cant wait. But I would like to have it a bit tidier before he gets here!

Plus Im trying to find kevs msi card. BLECH.

Wish me luck!

waiting game

Im just waiting for donavan to get home. Then perhaps my not so grand time at home will get a little cheerier maybe?

Thankfully samara is playing great by herself in her room and isnt available for the brunt of my... disappointment? Cheerlessness? utter feelings of uh and ugh?

Whatever and all of that.

Im going to go and finish what I have been doing and then make another supper that samara will enjoy at least. How is that for exciting really?

Once donavan gets home and is fed I am going to play excited and help Samara turn her scary jackolantern vision into a reality.

The things we do on a Wednesday.

So Because I am So BORING.

I ahvent blogged in ages. So sorry.

Quicky run down.

Tomorrow my munchkin is coming back from Brendas again where hes been since sunday. Its so lonesome without him to chase especially lately. Enough of the poor poor pitiful me.

Maggies place you make the difference today. chatted and bitched with Lisa for a little bit, chatted with my new buddy a bit, you get it. I chatted.

Susan's place for coffee afterward. watched some boob tube, Played some WII sports, played with her workout equiptment. I SO cant do a sit up. I suck LOL.

The rest of today was spent finishing the diningroom.

As of yesterday Our bed in the back bedroom with donavan's crib. Samaras single bed (she has a new one in her room) it set up in the diningroom. This way I can hopefully get donavan to sleep in his own bed adn kev can sleep on a bed and not teh couch. See how that does to kill some tension. Hopefully LOADS.

Before that was monday, chat n chew and i got the back room ready for our bed.

Before that weekend where we did little to nothing.

WELL.
Saturday we went to teh opening of a new factory in town. They had BIG blowup rides. One was a giant moon bouce. Samara went on once herself adn I took donavan on too teh second time. FUN.

The other thing was a GIANTTTTTT slide. First you climb a wall using the handles then slide straight down a huge scary slide then again. AWESOME and scary.

SO

dont complain that I dont ever blog ;)

A Minor B*t*hFest

Have I mentioned how much I want my house cleaned yet? No?

I WANT A CLEAN HOUSE.

I want to be able to walk around in the dark and know I wont step on god knows what. I would like to go to the cupboard and get a cup when thirsty rather than having to hunt a cup down whereever one MIGHT be. It would be nice to be able to go sit on the couch and relax without worrying about what I should be doing.

I HATE THE COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT MY MESSY HOUSE.

YES IT IS MESSY.

I am tired of the insinuations that it is my fault it is messy. It takes a family to mess this place up. I dont get why its not universally known. Honestly? Am I missing some important piece of the puzzle that says that I am teh only one who should do dishes or pick up as I go along?!?!???

SERIOUSLY??!?!!?!

??!?!?!

?
???
??
?


I am alone in the responsibility and blame for the messy house around here. I walk around strewing toys everywhere adn leaving cups around to never be found again. I remove my clothes in teh livingroom and leave them so when I do laundry I have to wander the hosue in search of clothes so I wont complain later when theyre not washed?

I am not saying that I dont do anything messy becuase I am a slob and I admit it. But i would think that if I admit a failing and BEG for help correcting it. (BEG OVER AND OVER) Then I would get SOMETHING.

Seriously. "start in one room and stick with it" doesnt work for me. WHERE DO I START?!?!?!? In my own OCD way I will ALWAYS ALWAYS either rearrange the dvd shelf tehn get bored or I will grab dirty clothes and dishes adn start laundry and a sink of dishes. Then the counters then get bored.

Where is my list of chores i have been BEGGING FOR??!?!?!?????


...

Maybe theres a list online?

Off to see.

Its Been Awhile

I havent had much to say lately. LOL.

took the kidsto the maggies place halloween pary today. It wasnt bad. VERY crowded. Donavan was SO FREAKING CUTE as Yoda and Samara was a beautiful mermaid.

Did some dishes today. Yep. I am an overachiever.

House cleaning One tip at a time.

MUST GET MY HOUSE NEAT TODAY!

It is my only objective :):)

Used the first tip in the book I bought on organizing yesterday to clean the livingroom (pick up so many things in such an amount of time.) So I am going to use it again. I ahve been up 2.5 hours so i am picking up 150 things and putting them in their places.
Wish me luck!

Sunday

Had turkey at sherry's yesterday. It was really good. Samara and Donavan are going to my parents today for dinner (aparently). I was called a parenting nazi yesterday by my stepfather. He asked what time Samara went to bed on the weekends adn I told him 7. So now I am "like the germans" in his words. (Pretty sure that an early bedtime doesnt QUITE equate with cultural genocide but hes the ex military type so guess hes right. (Sarcasm drippings and all)). She isnt even 5 yet (tomorrow lol). She has no interest in staying up on the weekdays let alone weeknights. If i let her stay up she would be tired and crabby on the weekdays getting up before 8. How would it be any different on the weekends? Not like my nearly 5 year old would sleep in or anything... Shes not 14. Anywho.

Noone believes they will take donavan so we shall see.

I really want to clean up. Genuinely... I need a hyposis book on not being a slob anymore!

I got a bunch of corny new music last night MWAHAH so i might try to clean to it.

Saturday

So watched Hancock this afternoon. I really liked it but i dont think kevin will. I guess going into it i had NO idea what the movie was about so it really wasnt what I was expecting but i LOVE Will Smith (Kev hates him) so this was a great Will Smith movie :)



I think Im going to clean up the house a bit then who knows. :)

Kev said he would be home early so maybe hell be around by then.



We're going to sherry's for turkey dinner tomorrow. Kevs brother will be there with his kids. Kev and I ahve agree'd we need to prepare Samara for his neice Kassidy but how? its so complicated.



Well off to tidy.

WHY WHY

WHY AM I SO LAZY.

I hate myself.

I am a sucky slob and need rehab...

In better news my not slobby sister is coming to help me clean.

I suck.

but at least I will suck in a cleaner house.
