NO TIME TO CARE

I care if my house is clean...who doesn't. But, quite frankly, I don't have the time and I have higher priorities (I'm morphed into my mom who did many more important things clean everyday).

This is what I do or SHOULD do-in no particular order:

1-Take care of Charlie 65 hrs/week (IF he goes to bed at eight and doesn't wake up again until seven which is rare).
2-Take care of all finances and bills
3-Clean 1800 sq. ft of house
4-Laundry
5-Prepare and cook meals
6-Make a shopping list and buy food
7-Take care of cars: clean them, take for needed repairs and oil changes
8-Make all necessary phone calls
9-Attend class 12.5 hrs/week
10-Do 7-10 hours of homework/week
11-Work at Utah Community Credit Union 4 hrs/week
12 Work at Golds Gym 9 hrs/week
13-Think about and make plans for the future
14-Notice and take care of any house problems
15-Make and keep track of all appointments
16-Plan and teach primary

When I made the list for myself on paper a couple days ago it had 26 items...I took some out due to redundancy, embarrassment, or triviality. I feel a little more calm looking at this list.

Blonde vs Brunette

JP has been begging me to go brown again. I used to go back and forth a lot but definitely spent more time as a blonde...MUCH MORE FUN! I havent had it dark since the wedding, almost three years ago. Do I do it for the hubby?????????????

P.S. I made this post and never posted it (char was probably pulling at my leg or something) so I have since made the decision to go brown-its dark!!

P.P.S. I will put up pics of my bare-walled house when JP mows the lawn.

108 DAYS

I haven't posted in 108 days. After missing quite a bit of time I felt so much pressure to update that it overwhelmed me so.....I just didn't and 108 days went by. A few high/lowlights:

1. We own a house
2. Charlie is well over ONE YEAR OLD and walking
3. Jp's cousin is living with us for a bit and I'm LOVING it/her
4. I have found an inner meanness I never knew I had...I've always been a people pleaser but man some people need to grow up
5. I'm gaining some lbs blah
6. Charlie and I watched our first firework show together at which Char was not in the womb.
7. We have a baby, beagle puppy to complement the new house (100% outside dog 'cause that's just nasty)
8. I am in decorating heaven
9. We became super, super poor within a matter of days (buying a house+paycheck decrease...awesome)
10. I've realized I'm getting old and uncool
11. Charlie says "ocky" (rocky the puppy) about every 10 seconds
12. Charlie wears shoes now :) Ha, I never used to put shoes on him
