Colin Firth, My Shithole and the Weather
I cannot believe that I neglected to put Colin "I love you just the way you are" Firth on my list!!! How could you all let me forget Colin??!?!?
Anyway, I haven't been blogging much lately because I was neglecting my house and chores. My motivation has failed me lately. I abhor housework, resent it really. I feel like it's never done, so why bust my ass every day? Well, I can't take it anymore. My house is a hell hole and I have to get busy!!
I've been going through some stuff in a storage room downstairs. I feel like I have serious ADD because every time I think I'm making leeway at paring stuff down, I get sidetracked by a picture, letter or keepsake. I think because I'm the youngest of so many kids and I could pack my childhood up in a small file box, I tend to hang on to EVERYTHING! So the cleaning of this pit is slow going. I wish I had a team of organizers to help me around here.
I volunteered to host a meeting here October 17th. That's the shot in the arm I need to get this place sparkling! Wish me luck.
BTW, it's currently 37 degrees here and we're expecting snow for tonight. At this rate, it's going to be a long, long winter. If you could just say a little prayer to the weather god and ask for him to let up on us a bit, I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks.

I know how you feel about housework never being done...but (and maybe I'm crazy) I love doing it. I clean whenever I'm stressed out or need a pick-me-up (no pun intended). I think its that after-clean smell and feeling that overwhelmes my senses and leaves me in ecstacy for hours afterwards. Too bad I don't live in the States or I'd offer to do it for you. Can't help you with the piled up memory-junk though -- I'm just as bad if not worse than you for it. I keep EVERYTHING.

p.s. I was wondering where Colin was, based on your comment on my last blog.

*sigh* I LOVE Colin Firth...love him, love him, love him...
Your house will be fine. You and Craig are a bonzer team and you'll get everything done. Forget talking to me about keeping stuff...do you not remember the 20 pound scrapbook Cole has?
I'd help if I were closer...really I would!
BTW...packages were mailed today. Finally!!!

I have to get some sleep in case Buddha Baby wakes up from the shot welts on both of his thighs.
However, I would be remiss if I didn't say: FUCK HOUSEWORK.
Sweet dreams!

Spart, Rosie, Buddha Girl and Dive Goddess,
You all are so awesome and so supportive. Craig and I knocked out the kids play area downstairs last night. We needed to sort through everything to see what we'll be getting rid of. I also made lists last night and I feel better, not so overwhelmed.
I still have a shitload of work to do around here, but I'm feeling like it's more managable now. Thanks again for cheering me on, you guys are the best!!!
PS- BG, I hope Buddha Baby feels better after shots! Your sentiments regarding housework were priceless!! Thank you!

Hey Jonesy! Nice to have you back! I hope your move wasn't too stressful!
As far as their neatness (read obsessive/compulsive behavior) rubs off on you...how about your flexibility and free spirit (read messiness) rubs off on them? LOL

lol Have you ever heard of www.flylady.net?
I love her system...I'm still not neat and organized..but I'm better than before...well..usually. Right now my house looks like its been ransacked by 100,000 thugs.
Oh..and BTW on a previous penile note...my uncircumsized sons can't seem to aim....it's like when you put your thumb over the hose when watering your garden. Do yours have that problem?
I need to join Pee Annonymous or something to live through this!
