I am the first to admit that I am not a clean freak! My biggest pet peeve with cleaning honestly is clutter, I dislike clutter something fierce. The house may get a little untidy by the end of the week but the rule in our family is, Sunday is House Cleaning Day! I promise, if you tell the kids this you will hear the giant groan that I hear very Sunday morning. But being a full time working mom and dad and having 2 little ones and a butt load of pets, it is the perfect day for us to get down and dirty. Bryan is in charge of the outside and mopping and I tackle the rest. By Sunday afternoon our place is spotless and reeking of bleach. I am not kidding, you could probably get high on the fumes if you closed yourself in the restroom.
But what about when you go to other people's houses? Should you care whether their home is dirty or clean?? Here is why I ask, I have been complaining the past few months that I need more friends. I truly only hang out with one friend and that is Sheila. Sheila has another friend named Nicole as well that she has been trying for the past year to get us together. In all actuality that Nicole and this Nicole have a lot in common. So the past few times Sheila and I hung out Nicole was there too and we got along just peachy. I went out on a limb the other night and invited her over. She declined with her daughter having to get up early with summer school but responded with an invitation to her place. I agreed and eagerly waited for Bryan to get home so I could get some girl time in.
People, I got over there and after walking through her front door my little balloon of excitement just blew the hell away! I cant even begin to describe the filth and just ick that was her home. And I saw her two little babies sound asleep in beds that were being used as closets basically. There was just shit everywhere. What really shocked me was her husband starts to apologize for the mess (this was not a mess, this was more like burn the fucker down and start over) and she interrupted him and said "Oh honey its okay, she knows she has kids too". My mouth just kinda hung there. Good thing I didn't swallow a damn bug.
So what did I do? I freaked and within 5 minutes made up a lame ass lie and hauled ass home. Please tell me, does this make me a bad person??

Peeing In The Pool
I was listening to a radio program this morning and they were asking people to be honest and admit if they peed in the pool. Giggling to myself, it brought back a few pool memories of my kiddos.
When Claire was about 4 years old and Taylor was 3 we lived in an apartment complex where we were regulars at the pool. The problem was our apartment was not close enough to the pool for us to run back and forth for potty breaks. Claire came to me and said she needed to go pee pee. I told her to go and pee in the pool, every little kid in here does it and it was not big of a deal. Claire looked at me like I was crazy and I did my best to justify this action with a 4 year old.
Claire slowly walked back to the pool, stood on the first step, and pulled her little bathing suit aside so her popo (our family word for vagina) was exposed. I ran over to her with a "what are you doing?" as she calmly explained to me that she was NOT going to pee pee on her "babin suit".
Not much longer after our little episode with Claire, we were out at the pool again. Taylor was happily splashing on the top step when he froze, stood up, and started to scream his head off. We had no idea what the hell was wrong with him! My x goes to him and grabs him by his little hand to walk him over to me. Before he even takes his third step, a huge turd falls out of his swim shorts and plops onto the floor where x accidentally steps on it. I was laughing my damn head off!!

New Way To Blow A Bubble
Bryan just had to get bubble gum out of our daughter's right nostril because she was trying to blow a bubble. Alrighty then.
Do Ya Feel Lucky, Punk?
Things have been a little hectic here in my world so I have not been able to let you guys know what is going on with our little family. Last Friday, I was listening to Sunny 99.1 (if you're a Houstonian you prolly know this station but for every one else, it is like the perfect work station during the day and plays love songs at night) and all week long they had been having little trivia questions about Corpus Christi, TX. Guess who one that morning?? Hot damn you're right, it was me!
The prize was amazing, they are sending me and hubby to Corpus for a weekend getaway! We will be staying at the Omni Hotel, visiting the Texas Aquarium, and so much more. And yes, Sunny is picking up the tab!! I am so freakin excited I can hardly stand it. I don't know when we're going yet, I have to hurry up and wait for the promotion people to give me a ring. I can see me now, a Bud Lite in one hand and a bottle of tanning lotion in the other. I so love the beach!
Friday night the kids and I went over to my bff Sheila's new town home to break it in. She cooked a big ass pan of Hamburger Helper, the kids screamed and ran around the joint, and us mommas sat outside on the porch with a cold one and some tunes. Good times. Bryan showed up later, like around 9 and I decided to call it an evening because the kids were getting tired and honestly, so was this ole' lady. I had been sound asleep for a good 2 hours when I hear hubby stumble in. I know I have posted before about Bryan having a bit of an issue with liquor, but the real issue was he was using it as a crutch. Ya know, not just dealing with reality. So it isn't that he shouldn't drink at all, its called moderation. So he climbs into bed and I pretend to sleep because he can be annoying/silly when has had a little too much. He isn't even still 5 minutes and I hear him get up and go to the closet. He turns on the light and just stands there staring for like, ever. Then he hobbles into the restroom, turns on that light and I hear him peeing. The next sound I hear is him washing his mouth out and I am all "What the hell, I know he is NOT going to NOT flush the damn toilet!" So I politely say "flush the toilet dear" and the dude just ignores me. So I throw the covers back, charge into the bathroom intending to flush the damn thing myself when he braces himself in front of it and slurs "the potty is missing" at me. I don't know whether to laugh my ass off or push him into the toilet. I "nicely" shove his ass out of the way and flush the invisible toilet.
The next morning Bryan tried to deny the whole thing, but me and the toilet no better. Karma totally bit him in the butt literally when a wasp stung him Sunday on the right butt cheek!!
