Aaaah, summer! The time of fun and spontaneity. Two of my favorite things, and two of the things that got me in this mess. Oh well. I'd rather be a fun slob than a boring normal person. Last week, one section of my brain was rejoicing that we would have a nice normal week again, giving us two weeks of the Summer of Clean before VBS, the week … [Read more...]
Down in the Deep Deep Depths . . . of my Freezer
Our chest freezer is dying. We've known this day would come, as it's only . . . ummmm . . . at least 40 years old. Yes, that thing is older than I am.But it was free! And we've had it for almost 7 years.Last night, I opened it up to put a few things in, and noticed that the fish my husband had put in the day before were only partially frozen. It … [Read more...]
What’s the Difference Between Me and the People on Hoarders ?
Hoarders are slobs, but slobs are not necessarily hoarders. I was thinking about this concept today as I made the French Toast Sticks that I was supposed to make last weekend, but never did. As I worked on them, I was feeling pretty good about myself. I bragged to the audience in my head that I know plenty of non-slobs who … [Read more...]
Quick "Where is She Now?" Post
My DSL modem is on its last legs. I've ordered a new one that's supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. Just wanted to let you know that posting and comment publishing may not happen in a timely manner. I can sometimes get on for a few minutes at a time, but it's totally random. I'm going to try to put up a post here in a minute, but I'm not … [Read more...]

So NOW What Do I Do With This Stuff?
I had my garage sale. Just this week, I unloaded on, oops . . . I mean, blessed a friend with the last box of leftover clothes that had been sitting in the back of my Suburban for almost a week. And then, while folding clothes, I came across a cute little skirt of my daughter's that should fit . . . but doesn't. "Time to get rid of it!" … [Read more...]
Details, Details
Summer: Day 3 We're thoroughly enjoying our summer days. We've managed to keep the kitchen in pretty decent shape. Again this morning, the boys swept it and wiped down the table and counters. But still, if someone who didn't know how bad things can be around here had walked in this morning, clean bathrooms and wiped counters would have gone … [Read more...]
Teaching My Children to Clean Bathrooms
Today is the first Tuesday of the summer. Tuesday is the day I clean bathrooms. So . . . today was the day I taught my kids to clean the bathrooms. Overall, it went quite well. I was prepared. I had their supply baskets ready to go, complete with home-made kid-friendly cleaning products. I had the bathroom cleaning checklists printed … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist – It’s Not Just For Me Anymore
First, I wanted to let you know that Blogger was down for a while Sunday and Monday, and I think I lost a comment that showed up at one point, but then never published. So, I'm assuming that there were probably 50+ comments that I never even knew about, right? Seriously, though, I wanted you to know that if you did comment and it didn't show up, … [Read more...]
