As you know I had a busy weekend, with all the cleaning going on around here. And Monday is my regular cleaning and washing day, so yesterday was jam packed too. Yesterday morning, I woke up all by myself, well not alone in the bed, because Little Miss can’t keep her ass out of my bed, but I just woke up earlier than normal. Somewhere around 7am. Hey, hey, hey…. not my fault I don’t have a real job to go to or a new born to haul my ass out of bed early. So when school is out, 7am is pretty darn early for me. I just woke up, like I was shot. So I got up and had some coffee and Plurked and Twitted and wrote my post in peace. Then my day started. I washed 9 loads of clothes, cleaned both bathrooms, well enough, cleaned up the laundry room and reclaimed my kitchen, sorta. All of this leads me to a few gripes…. I will give them to you in a list form, if you have the answers to my questions, please be kind and share the answer with me……..
1. Why can’t men turn their socks right side out? Both men *LOL, men, yeah right* pull their socks down and it is either wrong side out or the toe is somewhere in the middle. Both men have stinky feet! I guess if I wore work boots all day I would have stinky feet too, but I would turn my socks right side out. By not turning their socks right side out, I end up with stinky feet smell on my hands! Gross? Yes! And it is at this point my nose always itches!!!! So GROSS!!! I spend a good deal of time turning socks, I have tried to do it after I wash, while I am folding them, no stinky hands, but the socks don’t seem to dry, so…… If they would just pull them off right, they wouldn’t turn wrong side out!
2. Why does The Boy always have one leg pulled through wrong? Just one leg. Apparently he can slide on pants leg down but doesn’t have time to do the other and just yanks it off. This is yet another one of those irritating things! And another time waster! It’s not hard to take them off right or at the very least pull the leg through.
3. Why can’t I find actual cash in the washer or dryer? I have always said if it makes it to the washer it is my pay! I make like a buck a week! And that is usually in pennies. The occasional quarter may find its way in but not often! Why can’t they leave bills in their pocket? Receipts I find after I wash and the paper is scattered all over the other clothes, but bills never! OK, a month ago I found a 10 bill. I kept it! But that is really the only bill I have found since I found the 100 bill in the washer. That is a cute story……
When The Boy was about 5 he went to mammaw’s and she always kept Pappaw’s fuel money under the VCR, 5 100 bills. The Boy took one and thought no one would notice. Well, he forgot he had it and it made it to the wash, where I found it. I immediately thought hubby was hiding money from me and confronted him. OOPS! He denied it, we fought, I threatened divorce, he offered to help me pack, it got ugly. Then The Boy admitted it was Pappaw’s. We made him take it back and give it to Pappaw. Pappaw just said, don’t do it again! If you need money ask and I will give it to you. So much for punishment. Well, until we got a hold of him. If I found a hundred now, I think I would just keep my mouth shut! heh!!!
4. Underwear skid marks….Nothing more to say!
5. Why does my cat back up to the side of his litter box and pee down the side? If he pees down the side then it ends up under it and it stinks to high heaven! The box is clean so that isn’t the problem, I have used this litter before so that isn’t the problem. I wonder if he is getting old or just trying to piss me off!
6. Why does Daisy feel the need to help clean out the litter box? I have told her too many times to count I will get it, but she still insist on eating the cat shit! I scoop the shit daily, or at least I try to beat her to it daily.
7. Why do I clean? I work my ass off and by night it looks like I have sit around and done nothing!
8. I have told Little Miss a million and one times, the ashtrays are for cigarettes and ashes, not garbage. But everyday I find gum wrappers, gum, food bits, and candy wrappers in them! Gum+ ashtray= nasty mess! Will it help to tell her again or should I just rap her knuckles the next time?
9. Why won’t hubby take out the garbage? He will once there are 3 bags sitting in the kitchen, but why won’t he get it out of the can and take it out of the house?
10. Why can’t hubby hit the ashtray with his ashes? I swear he flicks them at the ashtray and hits the table all the time! I spend a big chunk of my time cleaning his table!
OK, I will stop at a perfect 10.
I plan on cleaning either Little Miss’ room or The Boy’s room today. That is why I set my alarm for 7am this morning.
Last night, Little Miss asked to stay up, I relented and said that she could watch TV until 11:30, then off to sleep. I figured I would watch Will and Grace til 12 and go to bed. Oh how wrong was I? I finally got to bed at 1am!!! This kid will go to sleep in 3 minutes flat once she gets still, it’s getting her still that is the problem. I told her I was tired and that 10pm was bedtime if she didn’t go to sleep. FOR. THE. REST. OF. THE. SUMMER!!! She absolutely will not go to sleep if someone, meaning me, isn’t up til she is asleep. But she has to tell all the animals good night, tell me good night, tell me Love Ya, have her back scratched, you name it, she can come up with it. I have started refusing to scratch her back after 10pm, now she rubs her back on the bed for half an hour. I have banned her from telling the animals good night after 10. She still does it, but she is sneaky about it now. I put a 2 time limit on my good night. I even put a 2 time limit on Love Yas. My next option, just going to bed and leaving her ass up by herself. But that opens the door for bedside visits. Lord, no wonder I have so many gary hairs!
The Boy noticed yesterday that I got my hair cut. Observant isn’t he? I asked him if he noticed anything else. It’s a short haircut. I told him I colored my hair. Now he notices I have fewer gray hairs. Fewer? I shouldn’t have any, but sure enough on close inspection, I notice I have a few dozen short gray hairs right in the front! I give up, there is no winning against gray!
I guess I should go if I have any hope of accomplishing anything today!!! So until next time……
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!!!
