Slacker Housewife's Method to Cleaning House

-


This is a confession...kinda.
Sometimes I just get distracted and the chores that beg to be done just don't get the attention they deserve. These chores do not judge me. They're always still there...waiting patiently.
Honestly, I wish they jump off a cliff...


Now, I eventually have to show the chores some love, but in the interim, here's my "about to be not so secret" slacker housewife's method to cleaning house.


Swish some Pine Sol in the toilets
Shove the laundry in the hamper, then get in there and stomp it down so you can add some more.
Fluff the pillows on the couch/beds.
Throw some refrigerator cookies in the oven(smells like Martha Stewart lives here).
Vacuum the carpet in a pretty uniformed line pattern(draws the eye away from the dusty bookshelves).
Spray some pledge in each room.
Put on a super hot apron(yes they make them, and they... are... awesome), your highest heels and some strawberry lipgloss(distracts "husband" from EVERYTHING).
yes...I know you're reading this and I have completely thrown myself under a the bus.♥
Pour two glasses of wine.
Order take out.


Baseboards and cobwebs will have to wait for another day. Unless they jump off a cliff...




Moral:
If your gonna be lazy at least wear heels and drink wine.
If I can't see the mess, it doesn't exist.

I really could have used this advice earlier in the day.
Just think what my Fridy could have been!
I AM rocking full hair and make up with an adorable apron.
Next time, I'll do 100% of what you say. Then I won't be too tired when my husbands sees how cute I look in this apron ;)

PS-Happy Birthday

lol lol!!;-)

"The three o'clock sweep" is my best friend! I think more wives/girlfriends/significant others should try rocking the apron. It makes me feel sassy, and domestic at the same time.
Magical.

PS-thanks!! ;-)

I Hit Snooze, Again

-
Do people hibernate? I'm convinced we do. Or I've just decided this is the reason for my wanting to stay under the covers and become a professional snoozer. The fact that I haven't seen the sun in 8 days and it hasn't been balmier than 45ยบ has driven my inner bear-ness. I live in a cloud. Really. This town is officially a cloud. And not a pretty, billowy cumulonimbus cloud. More like a big, heavy, grey, damp blanket of a cloud. Blah. Wake me when it's spring....

Got Thin Mints?

-
It's Girls Scout cookie season, and how is it that I don't know a single crack dealer Girl Scout?!   I must have Thin Mints. I must have Thin Mints. I MUST HAVE THIN MINTS! I'd rather buy from someone I know....I guess I'll have to hit up the dealers in front of the grocery store. This is somewhat unnerving, considering I don't have any of their beeper numbers. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. When I get them home, I will eat an entire stack, carefully, one at a time. The anticipation is almost unbearable..... I am an addict. Got Thin Mints?

Getting Ma'am ed

-
At the grocery store, the local coffee spot, by the Principal(who is clearly older than myself)...that one little ridiculously spelled word- ma'am . I know it's supposed to have an aura of respect, but it reeks of...well...chronological order! I can feel it coming, too. "GRANDE SKINNY VANILLA LATTE!!" shouted by some pierced barista. I look around, puzzled because I am the only one waiting.  "Guess that's me...thanks."  wait for it...wait for it ... "Have a nice day, ma'am"  And there it is. Thanks. Getting old sucks.
