I didn't actually say all these excuses would be my current excuses. Did I? Whatever. It's my blog and I can write what I want. (Now just a warning . . . I may get a little preachy, but I truly am basing this on my own experience.) The most common "But . . . " I hear when it comes to housekeeping woes has to do with O.P. Y'know, …
31 Days of (Lame) Excuses
The Master Bedroom Saga Part SIX: Clutter is Gone(ish), It’s Time to Clean!
Time for another post in the Master Bedroom Saga! I know. I missed putting one up last week. So here's my excuse (insert 31 Days of Excuses plug here): I was busy. And life trumps blogging. But now I'm back with a new post and webisode in the series. If you're new, you should probably catch up by reading (and watching) posts one, two, …
Catching Up on Some Excuses
I'm behind on my (lame) excuse posts. Sorry. I missed Thursday because I was out most of the day, and couldn't find a moment to write. I missed Friday because I was putting up a post about my new appliances from Maytag. And I really couldn't come up with a way to make that an excuse! Give me time . . . I'm sure I'll come up with …
Excuse #752 It’s ALL NONY’S FAULT
Today, I'm publishing a comment left by one of you as a guest post. Slob with OCD wrote this If-You-Give-a-Mouse-a-Cookie-esque comment a few days ago, and it tickled me so much I wanted to feature it! If it weren’t for Nony . . . I wouldn’t have been hand washing cereal bowls this morning. If she hadn’t been so funny I never would have …
(Lame) Excuse: “But I Don’t Have a Nail . . . “
I almost changed the title to "But I Lost the Nail . . . " Except that's actually true. And the point of this post (as it was being written inside my head yesterday) is that my excuse isn't really an excuse. This time, it's a lie. I'd been telling myself that I didn't have a nail, so for months I'd had a missing picture from my dining …
(Lame) Excuse: “But It’s Just ONE Load . . . “
It's Monday. Sooooo, obviously . . . it's Laundry Day. The best/smoothest/make-me-feel-like-I've-got-this-homemaker-thing-down Laundry Days begin on Sunday evening. So last night we gathered and sorted last week's dirty clothes and I started a load of towels. (Towels are my favorite Sunday Night Start Load because I can put them in the …
(Lame) Excuse: “But It Doesn’t Fit in the Dishwasher . . . “
This goes along with my post from last week. Actually, I took the pictures on the same night. See . . . in my mind there's doing the dishes. And then there's doing the big dishes. For some reason, they're two separate things. Even though they're not. Because even if I "do the dishes" but I leave the colander and the baking …
No Excuse to Not Help Raise Money for Cancer Research!
I really love working with the North Texas Chevy Dealers as a Chevy Girl. All of their promotions are fun and easy to blog about. But this one is easiest of all because it's for an important cause. And they have helped eliminate any and all excuses to not help! October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer runs in my family. …
(Lame) Excuse: “But it’s a Hassle . . . “
When my oldest was between the ages of 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 (I know because we were living in our rent house), he came to me with some exciting news. He had figured out something cool. Something that would surely be a new and exciting revelation to his mother. Because he knew, for a fact . . . that this was something I did not know. He had …
