SLACKING OFF SATURDAY!

i am dying to be a slacker today. Lance is gone working in Roosevelt again today. leaving me with the duty if overhauling the house for the family party i am supposed to have here tomorrow.

yes i 'planned' on getting the house cleaned and the front room and kitchen painted all week, so i could decorate. and well yea, i did my usual nothing towards it other then plan and talk about it but crapped out on the follow through. typical.

i did clear off two counters and clean them , then lance decided to cook dinner in my clean kitchen.
seriously? if i am in the middle of cleaning, we should go out to eat, or order out. not dirty it up again. but he started the water boiling and i cooked the spaghetti , and the sauce and the bread. and dinner was good. but the cleaning stopped at that point. dang it.

now i am just going to scramble to get the house tidy enough for company, which means shoving stuff that really needs put away properly into baskets and hidden in my room. yeah my room is the place it all gets dumped. and actually Pierce's room had a fair amount of stuff that had no business being there, but who cares right? he's a baby, and spends no time other than sleeping in his room. so for all my self deprivation, not going to many lunches, and not shopping and doing fun things thinking if i stay home I'll get my crap done. and then i read. I read my books. and I blogged! seriously not much else happened. so this is my last reprieve for the kids while i post this before i get into w itchy mean drill sergeant cleaning mode. while lance is gone all day. and i attempt to get ready for fun. HMMMM, or i could cancel snack night at our house and do family night instead! at the park. tempting! very tempting! except this was the event that was gonna get the ball rolling towards liberty's baptism prep.

have you noticed i lie about being a domestic goddess? domestic failure is more like it. i lack the drive and gumption to follow through, on any of it. and i was fully under the impression that when we had a bigger house i would be better able to keep it clean. and yet nah, it is just more space to be dirty and more stuff to clean. and more places for people to hide out and make secret messes. and lets face it. i have never been disciplined enough to keep a spotless house. I'd rather nap, or blog, or read, or sit with the kids and play video games or watch Disney channel, or pbs kids shows. and I'd much rather just leave, and go shopping, and to the zoo, and kids clubs , and museums and the park when it isn't too hot. seriously. I do enjoy cleaning the bathroom. and i don't mind washing the clothes but i hate putting them away. and i love to vacuum but don't like sweeping and i don't hate mopping as long as everyone is out of the way . and i like to buy organizer stuff but not really organize. and i have always been one of those people that thinks evening time after the kids are in bed is time to relax , not mop or scrub anything. and i use my nap time to blog. that;\'s right! i use my time when the kids sleep, for me time. if i am tired during nap time, i nap. and once the kids are in bed I watch my shows instead
of vacuuming. or ironing. thus my house is a nasty pit . since i can't clean when they are around unless i am mean and cranky. or they are gone, but there is always someone here. some little mess maker ,making messes while i try to clean. and so i give up! I GIVE UP! it is a pit, i admit it. i can embrace my reality. it isn't pretty. it isn't nice but it is what it is. I need a live in maid! the end.
