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.
