My Job

So I go this job and it has been a good job. I have had this job for amost seven years. The job started with a a "Hey Shannon, (this is my cousin talking) I have this guy that I want you to meet." and my job grew by leaps and bounds when I heard "what would you say if I told you there were two in here" this is a nurse looking in to my belly when I was 19 weeks pregnant. And since both of those statements-my job description has grown and grown. Once is was changing diapers, burping babies, and nap times (among other things). Now it involves, school work, laundry, housekeeping, and TOILETS~

And that is my subject matter for the day. I vowed to stay at home today and clean house. Especially since I have "let it go" for summer. So I have vacuumed, dusted and then I decided to tackle the bathrooms. Does anyone know at what point two little six year old boys will learn to aim? I have done everything that I know I can but these two have the worst aim ever. UGH! Ok rant over

Oh well, perhaps not. You all know how much Nathan and I love our house. And we plan on staying here FOREVER. When we (or I) started looking at new housing options-we considered everything that we wanted. Trees, windows, one story (mostly) 4 bed rooms, office etc.... well we got all of that and more. But I have to say: I HATE MY SHOWER! I hate cleaning my shower. I wait too long because it is a pain in the rump to clean. The shower is marble, I think- and it GROWS plants in no time. I use everything I can caustic bleaching and it grows back. It is the worst thing that I have ever seen.

Which brings me to another thing that I cannot wait to change about my house: the White Kitchen sink. I hate it. I think that it is porceline but I KNOW that it stains. And I hate stains. I could go on and on, but if there was not such thing as Soft Scrub with bleach, I would go CRAZY-

We watched Wife Swap and I had the feeling that the boys-all three of them-had an idea. Then Supernanny came on and their ideas disappeared.

Well off to clean. Maybe I will get a raise soon and hire someone to clean the shower and the sink. HA wishful thinking.

Off to clean another two toilets--then I am done and should scrap last christmas.

I don't feel that boys will ever learn to aim, until they leave the house. I always have issues with cleaning their toilets. (Puck). It plain sucks. Cheers to us, the ones that have the boys.

I have always bragged on Christopher's aiming...this OCD thing does come in handy sometimes :) But yesterday I came flying in the house about to make a mess on myself...I hit the hall bathroom, and there it was...dry, gelled over pee mess on the seat. I couldn't believe it. My mouth dropped, and then I turned quickly and headed for the other bathroom. Funny you should post on this...as I had just had that experience. And then, of course, the story I just shared with you on the phone tonight: "Mom, you gotta come see this"...yes, poop that resembles "chicken tender and several tator tots"...hilarious!! What fun we have as moms!!
ps-Wade just told me to get a price to have someone come clean the house...I hope that we can afford it...with working and kids, I'm sure your shower growth pales in comparison :) See you soon.
