As many of you well know being at home with the kids can get quite monotonous. I’m just trying to do stuff to keep us all busy until its time for bed again. I don’t know why, but this week it seems worse than ever and its only Tuesday.
I’ve finally started getting ready to move. I’m no longer sitting in denial about it. We still don’t have a clue when or where or how we’ll be moving. But I’ve decided to get a jump start on the cleaning. By cleaning I mean washing my blinds, cleaning out my cabinets washing them and oiling the wood. I need to start going through all the baby junk. I’m trying to get a jump on things so that when whatever is going to happen finally happens, I’ll be somewhat prepared for it.
I feel like I’m 12 again and not allowed to do anything until I get my chore done for the day- TRUE STORY. But at least it has givin me some purpose beyond mothering my children. That and I won’t feel like such a slob if my mom comes out to help pack and move. I know she would be disappointed in the maintenance of my house. But really who has time to scrub the floorboards with a toothbrush?
By the way does anyone have a good way to get hard water off of a glass shower? I’ve tried everything from CLR to toilet bowl cleaner- which stripped the nickel finish on my hardware but did nothing to the hard water. I’m to the point where I’m about ready to bust a razor blade out. And since the last time I cleaned with a razor blade it ended in stitches through my thumb nail . . . okay we won’t get into that because it’s gross. Needless to say I’m fighting a losing battle being only armed with a squeegee and various toxic and useless cleaners.

Man I'm funny!!!!
I don't have any brilliant ideas on cleaners because I unfortunately fall under the category of a lousy housekeeper. You've inspired me to start cleaning my blinds for when we might possibly move. Will it get done...probably not, but you sure have made me think about it. :)
I would love it if you guys stopped by in Elko. You're more than welcome to stay at our apartment if you want. We have a nice lovely air mattress & a porta crib & I'm sure Trey & Tyson would have a blast having a sleepover. Man, I can see them getting into a lot of trouble together. But really, if you want a place to stay you are welcome here. If not, at least let us make you dinner. Hey, I might even put you to work on my blinds... :)
I've used Lime-away and a scumbuster (black and decker tool) to clean our shower before and it really helped. Bathroom cleaning is my nemesis. I hate it but with my trust scumbuster it's less of my nemesis.
Or magic erasers?
The only time I have ever cleaned my floor boards is when Mom comes to visit. Dan makes fun of me and says she won't notice, but he didn't grow up with us so what does he know.
