just a lttle blitching.

so people are grounded again today. this time from all screens (thanks for that idea Goateeman!) there was mega whining,crying and gnashing of teeth here too. usually the computer does that enough, but this time BAWLING about no TV and Game boy. hee hee. yeah suffer Jerks! really, if they would back off and leave me alone they could probably earn back some privileges by doing extra chores But NOOOOOOOOO! they have to scream in my face and refuse to take their meds . thus losing more privileges. sheesh.

meet the teacher is today. WHOOOHOOO!

i need to go clean some stuff. seriously never ending vicious cycle here. and frankly I'm tired of it. and tired of cleaning. I'm of the opinion ...
  1. if i didn't make the mess, i shouldn't have to clean it up.
  2. if i didn't serve that meal to someone why am i the one that has to clean up the remnants?
  3. if i clean the kitchen it isn't an invitation to bake something.
  4. and if you bake , it is your job to wash all the bowls and pots and pans.
  5. and y0u aren't done until everything you used to bake or cook something has been washed.
  6. i usually wash dishes as i go.
  7. i hate dirty pans sitting around.
  8. i hate doing the dishes and yet have found myself washing 2 loads a day lately.
  9. i believe once the dishes are washed, the sink must be wiped out.
  10. i HATE that when i ask the kids to do things they ignore me.
  11. when lance asks they jump on it. and yet when he is off from work he won't help me get them motivated to help. it turns into lets waste the evening playing computer together.
  12. i really hate that i am dependent on meds to function/ get stuff done.
  13. I'm frustrated with the exponential growth of work/messes made by having X # of people live here.
Medicated and motivated is overrated.

any house hold pet peeves you have?
bad habits occurring you want to blitch about?
are you frustrated with your reality?

Totally agree with your list. It really irks me when someone comes along and puts their dirty dishes in an empty sink. It's not that hard to put them in the dishwasher.

And my kids need to learn that dad is capable of serving them a meal, helping them with homework, or getting something for them. Why must they wait until I come home to eat and ask for all these things?

And I may not be dependant on the kind of meds you are, but I am dependant on other kinds that give me energy and make me feel like accomplishing things. I haven't decided if that's a good thing or not.

Amen. Sista! Oh my hell, I think I made the same list in my tyraid last night! SO beyond tired of cleaning the same messes up, it's like chasing my tail! All. Day. Long!!!

SuperCoolMom said...

I'm just trying to survive until people go to school. I get so tired of doing the same things every day. I can't get past basic maintenance to clean anything that will stay cleaned! It's a neverending cycle!

♥ I just need a house! I'm ready for all the kids to be in school! Too bad they don't start at 3!!! :)

AutoSysGene said...

Medicated and motivated is overrated...that has got to be one of the best lines I have ever read!!

blah, blah by lindsey said...

oh i seriously hate the following after people! i feel like if i didn't make the mess i don't have to clean it, but that just makes a bigger mess for me later, i have finally figured out. my darling, sweet, adorable husband is one of the laziest people i know...he cooks and makes a giant mess and then i have to clean it up. i have seriously waited days and they still sit and sit and then i am made that i have to touch disgusting dishes..among other things...ahhh don't you love being a mother!! :)

Connie said...

I agree with a lot of your list, and I am tired of constantly cleaning up after people that are capable of doing it themselves...and they are STUBBORN!! If I take away priveledges, especially from Alexa she just goes without, the turkey. And my husband is terrible about helping get hthem organised as well.

Amy said...

All I have to say is AMEN sister. I have griped at my kids ALL day long and where has it got me......even more MAD.Good luck.

Katie said...

Ugh! I so know what you mean about constantly cleaning up messes! It gets SO old.

sandi said...

This must be the day for being ready to throw in the towel. I was so done today that I ended up throwing Bryce in the car with just a diaper and just DRIVING. I ended up at a girlfriend's house I hadn't seen in a loooong time though and felt better after the visit. It's good to just get the heck away from it all once in a while.

Andrea said...

I totally agree!! I don't want to clean up a mess that I didn't make! But my kids mostly ignore me too. ARGH!!! Can't wait for school, then I guess I have to clean it all by myself while they're gone!

Andrea said...

FUN seeing you for a sec thru the teacher doors!!!

Jamie said...

It seems that is all I do lately . I clean other peoples messes and break up fights. Who new life could be so glamerous(SARCASTIC)??

crystal said...

Am I frustrated with my reality????

You bet your a$$ I am!!!! Why do you think I'm at MY MOM'S house right now? (evil grimace)

And when you said, "Yeah, suffer jerks," I shouted "Amen!" That's exactly how I've been feeling of late. My 2 bigs are pushing, pushing, pushing constantly. The fighting must stop. Let's put our heads together on that one, because seriously. I need a game plan. I feel like all I do is REACT.

Thanks for keeping it real. I needed your post!

crystal said...

p.s. I have a sore throat from yelling. How's THAT for a bitchy mom?

Micah and Jen said...

ONE WORD.....MAID! That's right....I need a maid around here! I too hate all of these things and yet, it never stops....no matter what! I really can't complain too much though because Micah has been a SAINT through this pregnancy and now that I am supposed to be taking it easy he is even better than ever! But, as far as the kiddos go.....I am pretty sure they need to work harder in the house, not complain and never fight....oh wait....that isn't reality is it??? Oh, how I wish it were! Thanks for a great post and for all your honesty....I always LOVE IT!

Leslie said...

I agree with you and I could write a book about this.

Vidal's Nest said...

I think we are living the exact same life I swear! I have the exact issues.
My three little ones were having melt down after melt down tonight while my older ones have DESTROYED the house. Finally I had a meltdown too. Hubby says he is going to get it done sat. We'll see. I'm not going to hold my beathe!
Yeah for school starting..maybe things will get better for you!

goingsome said...

I hear ya. I have that same conversation with myself all day long. It doesn't seem to end and "the hurrier I go.........the behinder I get" GEZZ! I have tried to go "on strike", but I am the one giving in, since I can't live in the mess.

Holly said...

Oh my gosh, I'm not the only mom saying, "no TV, no DS"!!! Summer definitely needs to be over!!!!!! Maybe that's why I have a headache when I wake up every morning before my day even starts!!!

Susie said...

Man those are some loaded questions there! Yes I am totally frustrated with parts of my reality-so much so that I am now a member of the medicated for mommyhood myself.
Thank god for pharmaceuticals-and thank God for days off.
what am I blitching about though? i only have one! I feel for you, even though I can only imagine how your shoes feel.
I think I would bawk at all of those dishes. I'd probably just chuck them all and start eating off of paper plates! Bad for the planet-great for the home environment.

Mamarazzi said...

oh i HATE when people leave dishes in the sink (or anywhere else for that matter) i ALWAYS make sure the dishwasher gets emptied as soon as the dishes are clean, there is no good excuse for dirty dishes not being in the dishwasher...UGH!

Janeen said...

Hi, Julie. It sounds like you're as ready as I am for school to start...hang in there, only two more days! Yea, I hate the messes, and hate the fighting even more! Thanks for telling it like it is!
