Nothing new over here. I'm still recovering from my hospital stay a few days ago. Which means nothing is getting done. My house is a total and complete war zone. It's hard to walk around cleaning when I start feeling exhausted and dizzy after 10 minutes of standing. So I think today I'll try to just focus on laundry. Kids have an early out, which means I'll make Tori help me with the house cleaning. It's her chore to straighten up the living room and clean the kitchen counters. So that'll help me a lot.
I'm somehow managing to get behind on bills. Not bad. And it's just the lot rent. I need to call the park manager and let her know what's up. Going to pay at least part today and let her know the rest will come on the 9th. So it's not too bad. Not like I'm going to forever stay a month behind. Just a week short of paying the whole month at once. This happens every year. Do great all year round then December hits and I'm sitting here going "which bill do I skip for now?". No matter what I have left in the bank though, I always pay at least part of the bill. If I can't pay it in whole, then I aim for at least half. This way it doesn't keep stacking so high that I can never get caught up. And it allows whatever company it is to know that hey at least I'm trying. Or rather I'm hoping that's what they'll see. Such as if they were to shut off the internet I'm hoping I can say "if you look I've kept up every month until now and I did make a partial payment". It's worked in the past.
I really should be napping right now. Kids are gone to school. Twins are sleeping. All week they've slept until somewhere between 8am and nearly 9am. It's now 7:45am. But nope instead I'm sitting here just rambling away. Afraid to lay down now. I fight with myself. What if they wake up in the next 15 minutes? But then I counter with what if they don't wake up for another hour. I hate to get all comfortable only to have to get back up so soon. So I don't want to risk getting situated, start dozing off and then the boys wake up. I'll just end up in a bitchy mood.
I managed a load of dishes this morning. That's when you know the house is bad. If I'm doing dishes before 7am (heck before noon for that matter). I had intended on taking a shower after the kids left. But instead I did dishes. Kinda needed too. No clean bowls or spoons left. Plus the pots were taking up a lot of space. I was relieve to see there weren't a ton of dishes in the sink. Having a couple pots stacked can make you think every dish in your cabinets is piled in the sink. I do still have dirty dishes in there, but don't think it's enough for a full load. Not that it matters, I'm out of dishwasher soap. I can't hand wash dishes. For several reasons. Standing that long is terrible. I'd have to scrub them clean, rinse, dry and put away right there. Otherwise the cats would climb all over my clean dishes (I hate cats on the counters--yuck!). And that is too much strain on my back. Plus the brushes I scrub dishes with now are not suitable for wash and eat. I only use them now because after I scrub (yep with soap) I put them in the dishwasher. And our sink won't hold water for me to make dishwasher (which again is yuck!). It grosses me out to think of piling dishes into dishwater and then eat from them afterwards. But that's just me. I can't do it. My mom does, and that's fine. But I can't do it with my own dishes (haha).
I really hate laundry. See, now I'm just procrastinating. I don't really have anything else to discuss. But I'm trying to avoid the 4 baskets of laundry that need to be sorted, folded and put away. I'm so going to be lazy with this. Tori and James can fold their own stuff. So I'm just going to toss their clothes on their beds haha. What's going to slow me down is Miles & Emmit's clothes. With them still sleeping I won't be able to put them away. So I'll stack them in a basket and then they'll get buried.
Oh that reminds me. I just might try getting rid of Josie's dresser. I'm not sure if I want to or not though. She's now in her own room, which means she's using the dresser that is in there. Not the one in her old room (where she was sharing with Tori, but had her own dresser). It's a decent dresser. Works fine for one person or a kid. More so for a kid though. I'm not even sure it would be the right size for myself, and I don't have a lot of clothes (reminds me, I so need to get rid of some shirts. One drawer crammed full plus some is just too many for one person!).
Ok ok. I'm going to call my Momma while I fold laundry. Maybe that'll help pass the time.
Signed,
Super Mommy
