Q: I Can Not Clean My House!!!

Today is absolutely insane. I can't clean my house because every time I finish something and start something else I turn around to discover that Chu has managed to undo whatever I've just done. I feel like I'm running in a neverending marathon right now. We've got people coming in like an hour and a half and I still have to pick up Miguel from work and cook dinner. I'm seriously thinking about ordering takeout and throwing everything that's lying about into the trash. Would make my life simpler... Ah well, the joys of a 1 1/2 yo. *sigh* I just keep telling myself to enjoy him even when he's driving me nuts because he won't be little forever.

Mad respect to everyone that has more than one of the little dirt hurricanes. Laughing

I admire your fortitude.

lol i totally know how u feel.. when we were packing, i swear to GOD every box i filled the kids went behind me and dumped it out. It was sooooo irritating. And when i pick up toys they're back on the floor within seconds. I cant ever get anything done.

yeah, he just found the dried cranberries that were in the bottom of my buffet and threw them on the floor while i went to make a cup of tea. I cancelled with our guests. I told them I was sick. I got the idea after reading your post. hehe. They didn't seem too upset about rescheduling.

girl get miguel to watch Chu while u go out and get a Vanilla Coolata from DD and go to a book store and read. That totally calms me down when i've had a stressful day. I gave up on the hot baths when Caty learned to crawl because i constantly had fingers under the door and heard *mommy?!* every two seconds til i got out.

I bought a book and a gallon of sweet tea today at the drugstore. I just laid Chu down in his room. I know he isn't going to take a nap but I need a break. I'm about to go lay down on the couch in my filthy living room and drink tea and read my book until it's time to pick up miguel. Better yet I think I'll tell him to take the bus today. His job is like ten blocks from the house...he can take a bus for one day.

Kaylee's favorite thing to do is after I get done folding laundry, she'll find some way to get into that laundry basket & drag everything in it across the entire house! I've been trying all week to get this place cleaned up for her birthday party Saturday because it's going to be the first time a lot of mine & Shane's family sees this place since it's been done.. It seriously looks like I've just been sitting around all week long! I wish I could hire a maid!

lol it does sound fun but I'm thinking Shane's family & mine wouldn't appreciate that haha! I've gotten pretty used to waiting until Kaylee goes to bed though & staying up til 2am cleaning... Wears me out but I love waking up in the morning to a nice clean house!

no haha have the cleaning party a day or so before the real party. Have a couple friends come over to help do some major cleaning while maybe mom or dad watches Kaylee. Then buy them a pizza and soda afterwards as a thank you.

trust me its fun.

I went to go pick up Miguel after all. I don't have the energy to clean up once Chu goes to bed. I normally just pass out on the couch until it's time for me to go to bed. I did read a little of my book and drink tea until it was time to pick him up so I feel better. Chu's eating dinner late today and he's having canned ravioli because I didn't cook. I feel kind of bad about it, but not bad enough to cook. Laughing

Me and Miguel are definitely going to have takeout. Yay!!! Then I'm taking a bubble bath once Chu goes to bed and hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to tackle the house. I just hope he takes a nap tomorrow.

I'm in the process of cleaning. I don't have Aidan yet (my aunt was going to bring him at 8am, it's now nearly 11:30am....would have been nice to know so I could have slept in)
I'll take Chu for you and you can clean!! As long as you take Adriana so I can finish! She's usually pretty good with not thrown toys all over, but she likes to sit at the dog dish and hand feed them, and then when they're full she throws it Confused

K!!!!

I ONLY clean when Oni naps. The she wakes up & DESTROYS it again. While Baron bathes her, I'll clean again.

She's really good at helping me clean up during the day. But after that "acitivity" is over, she pulls them alllll out of the bin again!!! lol!

It's basically POINTLESSSSS!!

Kiss Chuy for me!
