Can I Get A What What

Hollahhh!!!!!

Yeah, check this out baby.


See the vent? Ofcourse you can. It's because there is nothing covering it. That was no where to be found a few days ago. It was under about 6 loads of clean laundry to be put away. I'm so proud to say that, I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Drew was out of town this last week/weekend so Pyper got down to business. For some reason, I was a way better housekeeper and mother/wife when Drew was gone. :) I cooked, I cleaned, I conquered. Maybe it's because I kept the house up instead of making a mad dash on Saturday an hour before he was due to be home. I wanted him to come home to a clean house, and more importantly come home to a clean laundry room. He even said "I was wondering if I was in the right house." Sad....very sad. I am actually a good housekeeper. I claim my house never to be dirty. Just messy. Kid mess. My bathrooms get done on a regular basis and my kitchen pretty much stays clean. I hope no one will comment on how that is NOT true. :) But I will just keep telling myself this. I actually like to clean. How sad is that?! I blame my mother. I like doing bathrooms more than anything else. (I hate cleaning the bathtub though). I'm an odd duck I guess. However, there has been many occasions of someone dropping by and my embarrassed look as there are about 1,000 toys in the living room and enough dog hair on the couch to make a couple of new dogs. Oh, and my daughter is obsessed with scissors and cutting incredibly small and thin bits of paper up. Hence, part of the kids mess.

So anyway, it was an exciting week of getting things done. Now only if I can get my Christmas stuff up. Let's see...10 days until Christmas. Shopping to do still. Maybe I'll skip the majority of the decor this year. Eh.....

Laundry...My Nemisis

Why do I hate laundry so much? Is it the folding...the hanging....the clean smell? Okay, it's not the clean smell. However, I do hate laundry with a passion. No, I don't hate it, I loathe it. It's not the doing it, it's the putting it away. My laundry room currently has about 5 loads to put away. I get caught up, then I think I won't do another load until the load in the dryer is put away. And then I'll say, "Oh, I can just do it tomorrow." Tomorrow turns into the next day and the next day etc. until I just become overwhelmed and we live out of our laundry room when we need to get changed/dressed. My daughter comes to me in the morning to get dressed and she unfortunatly knows to go to the laundry room. There was one time where I was actually caught up and she was yelling at the top of her lungs in the laundry room. Why? She was frustrated she couldn't find her clothes. Love that.

So if any of you have any brilliant tips to getting my laundry done in a timely manner, please share.

PS I actually got up this morning and picked up my house and put some things away. But I sit here now, wasting away time on the stupid computer instead of folding and putting away clean clothes. Everytime I walk by the laundry room, I hesitate. Thinking I'll start, but then I just scrunch up my nose in disgust and hurry on by, ignorning the mountainous pile. It reminds me of Pee Wee's Big Adventure. When he's saving the animals in the pet store and he keeps walking by the snakes with that look on his face. The look of REALLY not wanting to. That is the look on my face everytime I walk by my laundry room. :)
