I really suck at this whole SAHM thing.
Week one isn't even over yet and in addition to setting my house on fire, our toilet is now clogged and plumber won't come until monday. I didn't pay my trash bill so the trash people left three weeks of garbage piled on my lawn.
I wish I could outsource my job.
Re: I really suck at this whole SAHM thing.
Sounds like you need to make a spreadsheet so that you know what you need to do and when (approximately). Bless.
I'm sure it will get easier over time.
What would the spreadsheet say? A) Don't set your house on fire
try not to let Quint throw things in the toilet?
More for the paying trash thing...
Do you have one of those suction cup things for the toilet? Or is it really blocked deep down? I've been known to stick my hand down there in desperate situations.
Baaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ahem. I mean, I'm sorry you are having a tough go of it. Here is what I would do. Go out and buy a fire extinguisher for every single room of the house. Even the bathroom. Clearly you are overly flammable.
Go to Walmart and buy a toilet bazooka plunger - though be careful not to aim the spout at the wall. Yes, I have a story about this in China and yes, it was horrible. Arm yourself with 3 buckets beforehand, a coathanger, a bottle of bleach and some matches. Just in case. Oh, and a fire extinguisher.
Don't worry about paying your trash bill. At night, spread said trash throughout the neighborhood on lawns, etc. In the morning, blame a pack of rabid raccoons that are running rampant throughout the neighborhood. (bring a fire extinguisher along, just in case) It's okay, because your neighbors already think you are a nut. If they catch you out, tell them that this is how they do it in Europe.
As for outsourcing your job - give me your address. Everyone here knows what I do for a living. I'll have one of last year's stock sent over stat.
And finally, have VAbeach send over some caramel vodka from Spain. It sounds freaking fantastic.
TotZiens, don't feel bad - we all know you are a great mom and that being a SAHM is not easy. Just ask Blushing. She freaking traumatized me with a single account of her daily life.
Chronically hilarious - you'll split your stitches!
I wrote a book! Bucket list CHECK!

For real... all you're missing is the fireworks and the caramel vodka and you've recreated my life in bella Napoli (it's my H that screws up the toilet...usually, but at any given time, at least one bathroom has issues).
Sorry for the stress! And, FWIW, you do get used to the smell of garage
LOL Gotcha. We never received the bill. Our mail is all messed up so all the bills and warnings are being forwarded from here to my MIL and my MIL has been on vacation for two weeks so I missed the bill. Who in this day and age doesn't do electronic bill!?!!?!?
We've already had a plumber out here once who said that the plunger could make it worse. I'm not messing around with a toilet!!!!

Please continue with your directions because right now, with your ingredients, I only know how to light my farts on fire.
It'll get easier once you are in a routine.
The plumber won't come until Monday? That's crazy. We have had a few plumbing issues in our house, including the main line backing up a few days after we moved in, but always had someone come the same day. I'd call back and push. They did charge us slightly more for weekend hours though.
