Anyone Up for a Flame-Free-Friday?

I hate everything today.  My apartment is so cluttered.  We have too much stuff and not enough space and I wish H would stop buying things.  I want to get a bunch of big trash bags and throw everything out while he's at work today.

SIL and I work together. She drives me bonkers but I love my job. I have had a rough week and she is out today, Im thoroughly enjoying it.

my friend's housecleaner used to delegate tasks to us when I was in grade 6.

I thought it was way weird.

This is why I want to do c_joy's free library thing.  I figure it's a good way to get rid of extra books.  lol.

Oh, the books!  For a man who does NOT read, my H has a ridiculous amount of books.  But, they're boring technical computer books that nobody else would want.  

Our biggest problem right now is baby stuff.  How can something that weighs 15 lbs have SO MUCH CRAP?

I totally have the hots for DD's male tumbling instructor.  The super hots.  I make sure my makeup is perfect before every class.  /swoon

DH is driving me crazy because he won't stop buying shiit off of amazon.  Just because it exists does not mean you must buy something every day.  Seriously.

We hired a housekeeping service for this very reason.

Also, my flameful is that the housekeepers come today, and last night I let KHC have a bath with that bath gel kind of stuff, that turns your bath into, like Jell-O?  And there's still a bunch of residue in the bathtub and I didn't bother to clean it out because I was like, "Whatever, the housekeepers come tomorrow," and so they're going to hate me.

I can't wait until H and I feel comfortable enough financially to hire a housekeeper. I think we could afford one now, but we're still stuck in the "don't waste money on frivolous shiit" mentality. I believe it would be well worth it.

I was once a hotel housekeeper, and some assshole guests left me a tub filled with 2" of gravel. WTF does that? That bath goo would be a lot easier to clean up than focking gravel. I had to scoop that shiit out of there.

I wonder why he had that much gravel with him in a hotel?

That's bizzare and it sucks that you had to deal with it. Just be glad it wasn't vom or poo.

 

I was thankful it was only gravel, but I kept wondering how in the hell it got there.

I do not think cleaning services should be expected to clean through clutter unless it's been previously agreed that they would put things away and ALSO clean.

She spends a set amount of time at my house, why would I want her clearing shitt of of my surfaces instead of full-on cleaning for the whole time?

i was so excited to open my dyson last night. it was really hot so i was vacuuming in my underwear, sports bra, and a wife beater and totally into the music i was blasting. so i'm dancing/vacuuming to the justin bieber song "boyfriend" (it's catchy and it makes me feel like i'm 19 again, i can't help it) when i caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, very quickly came to the realization that i AM NOT 19, actually cried for a minute and then ate a fiber one brownie to feel better. they are really, really tasty. 

h walks in while i'm eating it, my face is still damp, and now adele's "someone like you" is playing. he looks at me, half-terrified, half-amused, and says, "you know how i know you're on your period?" i love him.  

lol!!

I purposely give my baby 2 or 3 "play by yourself" windows each day. I'm in the room or garden with her, I watch her and talk to her a bit, but mostly I let her be self directed and work things out on her own.  I tell myself it is so that she can gain independence, learn on her own, and prepare for when she has to share my attention. It lets me get some tax/trust work done or cleaning or gardening.  In practice, I nest through at least one of those sessions each day rather than getting sh!t done. 

Ugh. Bad mom and lazy estate executor / homemaker.

I pretty much do this all the time. If she brings me a book, I read it and encourage her to bring another. I ask her questions and pay attention but she's much happier just wandering around playing with whatever. I try to do structured play but she's not into it. Most of our interaction is when I'm making meals or bath time etc.
