Best Threat Ever

Once again it is MONDAY the day we all love to hate. Poor Monday.

I hope that everyone was up and at um bright and early this morning...lol Me and Bri went to the gym this morning at 5:3o. Brian honestly had to shove me up the stairs when we got home.(ya know when your legs feel like tight rubber bands) Anyway on my wobbly way to crash on the bed.... I saw it ... the NOTEBOOK "Ugh, I have to do that stupid thing." so with my chipper attitude I opened it to see what it was I had planned for Mondays... Remember I forget easy... Well, I had Bathrooms,My laundry,game closet.

Okay, let me tell you the best thing I have ever done. I used to dread cleaning the toilet in the kids bathroom.(Boys pee everywhere) but last month I had finally had it.

I took Drake and Davin in to the bathroom and sat them on the side of the tub. I explained to them how nasty it is to have to clean up their pee all the time!!! I had them both lean over and look at the gross sickening pucky pee puddles on the sides of the toilet. I had them lift the seat and look at all the nastiness that they cause.... then I busted out the paper towels and the Lysol spray. I told them "Every single time you pee in this toilet you will wipe the sides the front and under the seat. Then you will spray it down with Lysol,and say out loud "I wiped the seat" do you understand me?" they shook their heads yes. Then I had them play it out. (practice makes perfect right) after they had both had a simulation run I laid out the threats...."If you do not do this and there is pee all over again, YOU WILL SIT TO PEE."

My toilets have never been cleaner

SNACKS should be SECRET

So this week for my "closet" I am organizing the Pantry.

I have to tell ya me and Brian are doing that HCG diet aka Starvation.

Anyway, here I am organizing FOOD that I can't eat and in walks Hayden. She needed a "Snack". (fyi I hate making snacks on this diet) So she rummaged through the yummy piles of goodness that have now taken over the counter and found "Popcorn". That's good. I thought to myself That crap is so outta date it's gonna be yucky anyway............................................................................................................ 20 mins later............................................................................................... "your right Mom this is a yummy mix" ....................................................................................................................6hrs later (Brian is home now)

"Do you want the rest of my sandwich Dad?"asked Davin

"No, I cant eat that" Bri

"why did mommy eat Snacks with me today then?" Hayden

Let me just say.... it was only shredded wheat... ok, ok, it was chocolate frosted but I was seduced by it's yummyness and Hayden made me do it.

Point of the day: do a food less closet or.... make sure your kids aren't looking when you sneak a snack.

Sweet!!! Throw your hands up and say YEA!!!

We have 6 more weeks till we have to spring clean...

Seriously though this is good news for us.. If we start today.. then in 6 weeks, we will be so far ahead of the game we will look like pros. ( prolly should look pro anyway after doing this for 14 yrs)

So, hope that you did your room at least today, and tidy up the rest of the house right? Good job. Oh and you shoulda done the laundry that was meant for today also and put it away too.

If you have done those then you are so so awesome.. eat a cookie or something you earned it.. ;0)

Now pick a closet to fix this week. While that Groundhog sleeps a Lil more lets get those crammed full of crap things cleaned out okay.. Have fun and best of luck..

Okay... Big day today girls...

As we all know it's the worst day of the week... MONDAY!!

Our only goal today is to make it through the day... just kidding I wish . Really truly Monday doesn't have to be the worst day. It is all in how we break the week down. Monday, might end up being your favorite... ya whatever... Okay, today we need to do a 10 min tiding in every room that is seen by ppl. Meaning close your kids bedroom doors and we will tackle that another day. So all rooms that are accessed by ppl (other than your family) we need to do a quick tidy. Don't worry about the deep cleaning we don't have time for that today. After you have finished that, let's see I have 6 rooms x's 10 mins so about an hour get a note book and meet me at the kitchen table..

Okay in your note book we need to make a list of the rooms you just cleaned.

Kitchen , Living room, Guest bath, stairs/landing, basement. Now remember that card of the laundry days? Go find that (or actually write one now if you faked it and never did). Okay my card says Mon, M&D Tue, G Thur,B Fri Towels. Okay you /I need to decide what room to assign to which day.. try and think of your week (Remember Fridays are a bitch)

This is how you can make Monday your favorite day. If you hate cleaning the bathrooms. Then save them for Tuesday. No one is really gonna care if you put it off for one more day and if it makes you a funner person to come home to then, yee gads move it all ready.

So just to recap. 1: tidy.(every room) 2: make a list of rooms in need of cleaning 3:add your laundry day to list.

There you have your daily chore for the month of February.. we will get better at this as we go along but as for now if the only thing clean is the room listed on your card then you Did It! have fun and good luck.

The Weekend Comes

Ladies, I hope you all made it through Fridays task.

Note to self : Fridays sucks cuz of the carpool thing and the bball practices never plan that big of thing on Friday again.

Let me just say, "I know the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but honestly I had to buy Albertsons cookies." This might come as a surprise to some of you, but I often forget things. Yes Me, and I forgot the Crazy Crappy day Fridays are and planned too many things. But, huge pat on the back here.... I managed to finish my assignment anyway.. people really don't care if they eat my cookies vs Al's cookies anyway right? so why overstress myself . Like I said earlier SIMPLIFY!!!

Anyway today we are MOMness our 1 main goal today is to be a nicer mom. Yell less let things like egg crusted spatulas slide and dirty George Foreman grills... life is short and those kids are only gonna remember if you were nice or mean not how clean the house was... best of luck and ttyt

Friday = Funday

Yep this is going to be FUN!!!

Now maybe you all are living in Mormontopia and keep up on your VT. I live in reality and I don't. So on this quest for best HEE one of the check marks is doing your VT. So yeah, you guessed it we are gonna bust this out..... now I have not made appointments nor am I gonna. So we are gonna "Simplify " After all wasn't it council once to "Simplify and life will be Simple"

So Today : make 4 batches of cookies.

I have 4 families. If you have different then change it. (Its almost the end of the month so we gotta get this done.) Don't make sugar cookies ,waaay to hard and pulse we need those for next month (heart shaped) lol... okay so mix up your cookies. While they are baking we are gonna do something for ourselves... it's super fun.... MOPPING!!!! I know right, like the funnest thing ever ever. The act of doing it sucks but the feel of the clean floor on your bare feet is so worth it..... OOOOO if only we were barefoot and pregnant then the stereotype would be so true....

Best of luck and go ahead and make a few cookies for your kids too... after all that's what a HEE would do right? And you can burn the calories if you walk to deliver them.. (I'm gonna drive I'm lazy) LOVE YA

btw: you have to wash the room laundry that you assigned to Friday...DON'T FORGET

Wonder MOM!!!

So, I 'm sure you already know this about yourself ,but I am on this self discovery mission this year to Be. Ya know be the ME I was meant to be. Hopefully that explains the picture..lol... she is who I want to be.. all hot and wonderful...lol... even in the wind her hair looks amazing..hahahaha

Anyway, along this road to becoming Wonder Mom i guess there are things I have to do. Things/Villains I must defeat and bring to submission. (if only I had those kick ass wrist bands and golden lasso of truth)

Today was a trying morning to say the least. Many times I thought about bagging this whole plan but then I realized DA DA DA DA "this is the work of the DARK ONE." lol.. So I can't let him win right? Again the DARK ONE throws back a "you will never get this house cleaned,,,, this is way way to hard for you"

Well, I quickly did the Wonder Woman spin outta that and into a plan.... today we will break down the HUGE overwhelming jobs and destroy them one bit at a time. This pile of mess in our laundry room floor has got to go. Every time I look at that man eating mountain it is self defeating... like Kryptonite. so It must go.....

Today... separate the pile into boys, girls, Mom and Dad rooms. then one other pile Towels.

Then on a card make a list. decide witch day you will do each room there should be 4 piles so only 4 days of laundry a week. I like doing towels on the weekend so the kids can fold them and they can learn how to run the washer. good luck super moms and may the force be with you....
