Be You

"Be average! Be you! Be unique! Leave the house without make-up. Let your gut hang over your pants with out sucking in or holding something in front of your stomach. Don't clean your dirty house before people come over. Laugh about mistakes you make. Don't talk about body image in front of other women or your daughters! If we let our guard down, we make other women comfortable to do the same. When we focus so hard on our body, we end up neglecting what is inside of it. Let's fight it ladies! We are strong and worthy of much more." - from here

Housewife

Ridiculous or not, I feel very very productive when I'm wearing my cute apron.

Success

For the first time ever I think I've put everything Christmas away at once. I always seem to miss something--the movies, the music, the stockings--but not this year! And it's all in one (very heavy) box!

Laundry

Thank goodness we have a washer/dryer unit. I don't know how I would live without one. I swear I've done at least one load of laundry a day since Baby was born. Sometimes it feels like it's all I do, but, hey, our clothes are clean and there are no quarters involved!

I have a sink full of dishes to wash.

Anyone feel like coming to the rescue?

I Really Need to Clean My House

But I'm tired and hungry and headachy and I want to just sit and do nothing instead. Maybe I should just go take a nap. Anyone else want to share?

A Cold, Wet Spring and a Basement With No Bathroom Fan

Means trouble in the form of a lot of mildew. Eew. Yuck. Tilex mildew spray has been my best friend, but, seriously, I never want to live anywhere without a bathroom fan. Ever. Again. And, summer, please come to stay soon!

Do you think scrubbing my carpets will make them bug repellant?

Or is that asking too much?
