I am so close to the end of my rope with my mother its not funny. If there is one thing I cannot stand its being lied to.

I really need to do a big clean out here too. I'm planning on setting aside Wednesdays for it. Come March anyway. I have it all planned out. I'm rather excited.

I'm really loving the feeling the emptiness is giving me, closet's empty, under the kitchen and bathroom sinks are pretty much empty lol. I just took 11 bags to the goodwill this evening (counting the 8 from the closet lol). I don't understand how my tv remote is still MIA with this place so organized and so little clutter, but I'll figure it out.

Right now I'm trying to convince the hubby we can donate all of our CD's and PC games that are on the stand since they never get touched except when I dust them, but he won't let me touch 'em. Not even mine, I mean, I really really do not still need all my 1990's-early 2000's pop music (mostly boy bands..) And what I get rid of, I can easily download..

So far my list is currently:
top and side of the fridge
pantry
cabinets above kitchen sink and stove
boys shelf in their closet

I'm pretty sure that's all there is left to go through, besides the basement storage area, which you can't even get into it's so packed. My theory down there is to toss everything but B's two lamps she's never used. Other than that I have no clue what's down there, and we haven't touched it since Dec. 09, so we really don't need it. But what do I know. :/

Hope you haven't accidently thrown the remote out!

MommaDucks · #64 February 21st, 2012, 07:47 AM

I am honestly thinking I did! It it just NOT here!

I'm working on the bathroom right now, still avoiding the fridge area and pantry, LOL. I did manage to get above the kitchen sink done this morning before the kids woke and after I gave myself 30 minutes of reading time.

mommy2Breana+Brandon · #65 February 21st, 2012, 12:36 PM

wow Nicole you go.

I am thinking you threw the remote away

MellieB · #66 February 21st, 2012, 01:26 PM

Its a housework morning for me today. Wednesday morning's are now. Lucy is trying her best to make as mush mess as possible before she leaves...

natty · #67 February 21st, 2012, 03:04 PM

=-)Can you do my house next Nicole
I go my kindle fire today not as nice as the ipad but still very cool for the price

MommaDucks · #68 February 21st, 2012, 04:31 PM

I am so sleepy and ready for bed.

catherineclare · #69 February 21st, 2012, 06:43 PM

Sorry haven't been around much. Have had a lot of stuff going on here. More emotional junk than actually being busy.

Nicole you are on a roll! Great job!! I'm actually doing that later this week. Hoping for a nice big goodwill load.

We had pizza tonight. Lent starts tomorrow so I'm giving up sweets. It's gonna be a hard 40 days for me!

I guess our house got a little too dirty. Dh said to call the cleaning lady...YESSSSS!

She is coming on Friday. It isn't dirty dirty....Just needs a good scrubbing

Target online has fantastic deals right now! I ordered a bunch of cardigans and shirts on clearance. I think the most expensive item was $14.

Billy read to me yesterday...sort of. He has this book called Peek-a-boo, I love you. He opened 4 of the flaps and said the words under each one (Daddy, Mommy, Puppy, Kitty). He then laid down and said "Sleepy"

mommy2Breana+Brandon · #71 February 22nd, 2012, 11:57 AM

That is so cute that Billy read to you Jennifer!!!

I am so bored at work and so tired. My allergies are bothering me again.

MommaDucks · #72 February 22nd, 2012, 02:47 PM

Jenn, that is actually really sweet! I just love the random sweet things they do at this age.

We went to my parents and since I did laundry on Saturday I was beyond shocked with how much less than normal I had! LOL I was convinced I'd have at least 3 loads using my parents w/d. It was nice to see they had an industrial w/d there. Ended up only being 1 full load and a half a load.

My Kitchen table has been driving me crazy for a long time now, it needs to be sanded and refinished again which Tom's been saying he's going to do for years. Well, I got sick of seeing how nasty it looks in pictures, especially since I'm constantly cleaning the thing.. So I covered it with a table cloth finally today. lol. Amazing the difference in the kitchen just by having a clean table top.

mommy2Breana+Brandon · #73 February 23rd, 2012, 05:30 AM

Nicole you really need to come to my house and work on it!!!!

I am so ready for the weekend to be here already!!!

MommaDucks · #74 February 23rd, 2012, 06:14 AM

LOL, the sad part is doing it all in 15 minute spurts makes it fun to race the timer and the kids are helping out.

Today's challenge is the pantry. Blah..

Did you know I called Tom last night while he was at the store reminding him (again) that I needed tea bags for the morning? And still he forgot them, but didn't tell me. And now, here I am at 9 am needing a cup of tea with no dang tea bags in the house. And much, much too lazy to dress all three kids and lug them to the store to buy a box, WITH QUARTERS. guh, I love this man, I love this man, I love this man.

I guess hanging out outside without coats on was not the smart mommy thing to do, C, B, and I all have scratchy throats today and coughs. Fun times!

natty · #75 February 25th, 2012, 02:32 PM

So excited I.leave to.visit home on Thursday and at the same time I have so much anxiety about leavings Elise and its not even like she iswith a sitter she is going tobewith dh I don't know where it comes from

mommy2Breana+Brandon · #76 February 27th, 2012, 05:22 AM

Good Luck Natty. you will do fine. have a fun and safe trip.

I HATE Monday mornings!!! The good news is that I have a Tastefully Simple party tonight!@!!!!!

MommaDucks · #77 February 27th, 2012, 06:35 AM

Nat: Remember it will be harder on you than her! Enjoy yourself!

Cathy: Have fun and good selling at the party tonight!

C& B are SUPER whiny and clingy today.

If one is with me the other has to be. Same with whining! Yet, when neither is right on top of me, the other is fine. I don't get it. And B keeps bugging the cat, even though she knows better..

MellieB · #78 February 27th, 2012, 01:48 PM

I cannot believe how much rain we have had over the last 24 hours. I wish it would stop so that the humidity would clear.

mommy2Breana+Brandon · #79 February 28th, 2012, 06:21 AM

Thanks Nicole. I did OK it was a duel party and I think the Scentsy girl did better. But that is OK I got my name out there.

I am tired today though. I miss not seeing the kids at night but it is also a nice break.

I heard Mommy from Xander's room this morning it was so cute!!! and he gave me a big hug and said mommy when I got him out of his crib!!! I think he missed me!!!1

I hope the rain stops Mellie.

catherineclare · #80 February 29th, 2012, 12:06 AM

Cathy- that is awesome! Sounds like Xander is talking more and more. Ben is too! He never shuts up these days. Blabbers all day long lol. Glad you got your name out at the party.

Mellie- send some rain here! We have had the driest winter and it's supposed to be our wet season. Half the time when they say we're getting rain we don't get it as when we do it lasts 20 minutes. Add in the hot temps and the city is gonna be crawling with ants come summer. They come out in search of water.

Nicole- sounds like you are plowing through your house!! Good for you!! That's awesome. Clutter is so mentally draining. I need to work on that here. Owning less really is the best way!

The past two weeks have been a little draining emotionally. Good things are happening, but it's also sucking energy lol. Plus I have some family health stuff going on. I need to sit down and write up a big post for the PR to get everything out. I just can't find the time! I feel like I've been ignoring everyone here!
