Shannon, I don’t know about you but as soon as I do get everything put away, I’ll walk into a room and something new will be out. WHERE DID IT COME FROM? Who did it??? It just never ends. The 6AM mad dash is a completely legitimate excuse for not having everything put away. Most people aren’t even up that early and you’re already out. You’re amazing.

And people see everything..I’ve resorted to having key rooms where I just shut the door. My mother has caught on though…..and since she watches my dog everyday for “doggie day care” she occassionally brings him home to get a snack or toy he needs – the only excuse for this is that she wants to see what I left out when I was making a mad dash out of the house with him at 6AM! She leaves funny notes too…..one day I will surprise her and all will be cleaned when she pokes her head in.

I think you are right. It really makes no difference. Crap is everywhere no matter what kind of house. You just get more exercise in yours. Ranches are good for the lazies.
I’m so happy to have you here. I have been to yours many times. My friend Jason told me about it awhile ago and I always love reading it. Thanks for stopping by. It really means a lot to me.

KB, I can’t believe I didn’t touch on that. SO TRUE. Not only do they leave items in random places, but they can also walk by a totally random item in the most stupid place and not do anything. A seal could be in our bedroom and I don’t think Cody would notice or care. I don’t get that. I am right with you. Cody’s not home now if you want to hurry up and get married.

I think I am just like you in so many ways, but I REALLY wish my husband was too! He could walk by the same out of place stuff 10 times a day and not only leave it there, it wouldn’t bother him in the least!!! I may divorce him and marry you! We’d have a super clean house. 😉

Thanks for the post.
Karyn

Hazel!! Yes!! So many times that I end up cleaning when I should be getting dressed. YES YES YES. I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ll see one thing that needs to be put away, and then another, and then I’ll pick up something and see that the counter needs to be wiped down…IT NEVER ENDS. Floor vs. shower. Floor usually wins. So true. You are awesome. I’m so happy you “get” it. (As always).
I hope you are having a great weekend,

Leah,
You are funny! He is not usually home when I make my way to the bathroom but you know what? I bet he knows that it makes me crazy and that’s why he does it. I can totally see him kicking back at the office, giggling to himself, picturing wifey at home duking it out with a Neurtro bottle. I’m so happy to have you as a reader. You make me smile. Thank you for taking the time to not only read, but also comment. I appreciate it so much. 🙂

At least now I know I had my head on straight when I was overcome with the urge to vacuum the entire downstairs when my girlfriend came over to babysit the other night. *Could have* taken a shower and primped instead, but no, the floor got the makeover.

I don’t think the husband noticed, either way.

Awesome, funny post. You are welcome to get crazy on my house anytime. I’ll bribe your kids with trips to the zoo if they want to help….

Really funny. Glad I am not the only funny blogger. (Confidence is not one of my weak points.)

I thought it hilarious that sometimes you stage things in your daughter’s room…you know…see her response and get a giggle. And this of course led me to thinking that maybe, just maybe, your hubby knows better about that neutrogena bottle. And that maybe he does this daily to watch you become exasperated, bend over (the key to catching any man’s interest), and stick it under the sink.

Try this…next time it is there, grab it and start to put it away. Then spin around real quick. I am thinking you may catch the hubs watching covertly from around the corner with a perverse grin on his face. Just a thought.
