Why not?…

By amanda January 22nd, 2010

Me:  “They should make toi­let reclin­ers.”
Sher­man:  “No…they shouldn’t”
Just one of the con­ver­sa­tions that hap­pens around our house…

This doesn’t make me feel like moaning in the shower…

By amanda January 20th, 2010

The con­di­tioner I bought is stinky.  Not “not good smelling” but down­right stinky.  This is quite unfor­tu­nate because the win­ter, dry air and fre­quent hair dryer use is mak­ing con­di­tioner kind of a neces­sity.  I’m not really sure what hap­pened, I usu­ally do the in store sniff test on things that I haven’t used before, […]

Instant humility…

By Sherman January 18th, 2010

I think really clean­ing your bath­room is a type of penance.  Because really, being forced to face your own gross­ness is a big deal.  It makes you think.
When I make lots of money one of the first things I’m get­ting is a clean­ing lady.  And every­day I will apol­o­gize to her and thank her.  And she […]

5, or 10, or 15…

By amanda January 12th, 2010

It’s amaz­ing what a few extra min­utes, taken for your­self will do for your mood.  Granted, this morn­ing I took those min­utes to wash my face and brush my teeth with a kiddo attatched to my leg.  My few min­utes to pick out a nicer shirt and be cat hair free was met with whines […]

I like 2010…

By amanda January 4th, 2010

I have had a very good day.  A fan­tas­tic bal­ance of work and play.  Vis­ited friends, got a lot done around the house, did laun­dry, chat­ted with Sher­man, played with Ijah and my sil­ver­ware drawer is still orga­nized.
I know that sounds like a lit­tle thing, and it is…but it’s really nice to be able to […]

Impressive…

By amanda January 4th, 2010

As Eli­jah topped off his Duplo (which are now called Mega Blocks, which I don’t like near as much) tower I swear he was hold­ing his breath.  When this silence was fol­lowed by a breathy “Wooooowwww” I felt very proud that I have taught my son to be impressed with things.  Espe­cially things of his […]

Thats normal right?…

By amanda December 15th, 2009

I can not han­dle a shower cur­tain touch­ing me. It gives me the absolute gee­bies and I can barely func­tion. I have been known to fully open the cur­tain and just let the water splash out if there is a breeze blow­ing the cur­tain in on me and I have a ten­dancy to […]

My Mom always told me I was above average…

By amanda December 10th, 2009

Accord­ing to Gullible.info “The aver­age sink con­tains 3.2 unwashed dishes.”
I am so above aver­age.
I won­der how many washed dishes the aver­age counter top con­tains.  I bet I’d hit that one out of the park.

I have a problem…

By amanda December 10th, 2009

I need more socks. Yup. That’s the only real legit­i­mate one. Any­thing else I can deal with and stop whin­ing about. But notice I haven’t whined about them here.…
You’re welcome.

Singing is ok, humming is odd, and whistling is downright creepy.

By amanda November 19th, 2009

I was in a Twi­light Zone of thrift store shop­ping today.  While look­ing through clothes for in the ladies sec­tion one of the work­ers putting stuff away was singing along with the radio, some top 40 pop song…I can’t remem­ber what it was.  I chuck­led and went back to search for baby girl clothes for […]
