Name those DUST BUNNIES!

Don’t you just hate dusting? ‘Cause I sure do.
I hate to even breathe it, yet I can’t find the motivation to just do it!
Dusting simply isn’t fun. You get dirty, sometimes sweaty and most of the time your nasal passages get all clogged up.
Dust covers ever corner of my house whether I like it or not. It’s simply a fact of life no one can avoid. Well, maybe the rich with 24/7 house-cleaning service (booooo to you if you’re one of them).
I have my own little way to get myself out of dusting. Yes siree! Buckle up folks, you’re participating in another Domestic Debacle!
So you’ve already figured out what my problem is.
And here’s my solution: I’m going to get emotionally attached to my dust bunnies. Yes, all of them. I mean, how can I even clean them up, when they are just so darn cute? I mean, I’ve named them, dressed them (like Cindy did in that famous Disney movie- oh wait- those were mice) and even cared for them making sure they had enough “dust” to grow. Heh.
These little guys are just so adorable that one day I promise you that my DH will feel the same way.
Maybe?
Okay, I admit, not so much.
Who knows how long I’m going to get away with this one? Even if I do end up as a mental patient, at least I surely won’t have to clean in there!

It’s the little things

shower

I took a long shower yesterday, and got to wash my hair!

Yesterday, instead of housework, M and I went for a walk. We walked up to the office, and back. She actually listened to me too.

The laundry has piled up, but I don’t mind. We still have clean clothes to wear! This means we have too many clothes. I’ll be gathering them up for the homeless shelter before Saturday.

The weather is great. Warm, not sunny, and breezy- bordering on windy.

My gas bill came in. I’ve overpaid $200. I don’t owe anything, and still have a $108 credit.

Our maintenance tech is coming over to look at our water meter. We’re hoping he’ll find out what’s wrong. I know we don’t use as much water as they are saying.

M pooped in her diaper again. Instead of punishing her, I made a deal. Poop in the potty, and I’ll take you to TRU, and you get a My Little Pony. I’m actually hoping this will get expensive!

I’ve decided, if I can’t change something, I’m just going to go with the flow. Loose lips, sink ships.
Tonight, I get to play with a Cricut. I’m so excited! I’m saving all my pennies for the Expression model.
Last night I went to church, instead of my regularly scheduled program. I am so glad I did!
So, there are some little things going on. I hope I didn’t bore you too much!
