What have you been doing up here?

Today was cleaning day...Self explanatory...right...Yeah, as long as you aren't Hunter Sheridan Worley...

Those of you that know me, know that I am completely OCD. Paul would say I rival Kathy Bates in the movie version of Stephan King's Misery. I can spot something out of place before it moves...i.e. my shell tower at work...another time another place...

As a result, Cleaning Day used to mean, I sent the kids down to the basement to play (and honestly stay out of my way) so that I could clean the house "correctly" top to bottom. It would be able to pass the black light test with flying colors when I was done.

I did however, come to my senses, and I have since delegated chores (hence, I am no longer a member of the fun club). Maddy gets in, gets it done and moves on. Hunter...well, let's just say that he gets a little distracted.

Hunter, after being lost in his room for what seemed to be hours, emerged and declared that he was done with his room-he was going down to play with sissy in the basement. He shut his door to keep Koda out and headed to the basement. I continued the task of sanitizing the bathroom.
I proceeded to Hunter's room to vacuum. My horrified response sent Paul scaling the stairs, believing I was bleeding profusely.

Hunter's bed was unmade, the curtain to his "hideout" was on the floor, his desk was a disaster, his drawers were open and over flowing with "important stuff." His hats were everywhere.

But then it caught my eye...his lego table was immaculate...

Are you serious...

"Hunter Sheridan Worley..."

"What have you been doing up here?"

Lessons from my "Little Ones" revisited

• Bedtime is apparently a relative term.
• Dessert and snack are two different things-though both apparently are supposed to contain sugar.
• Studying flashcards and nightly reading are not homework if they're not on the homework sheet.
• Items placed on the stairs to be put away at the next ascending are invisible.
• Dishes apparently make their own way to counter if you leave them long enough.
• Weather in the 50's means it's time for shorts and flip-flops.
• Playing the wii does not count as TV time.
• You can't be in the fun club if you delegate chores.
• Being too tired absolves you from any responsibility.
• Shopping at Target is supposed to include a trip to the dollar section.
• Bad choices don't count if you're sick.

I'm sorry...do I look stupid...

OCD!!!

OK-So as if I don't have enough to be complusive about, I have joined facebook. That was a mistake. I now have a blog and a facebook to maintain. There are not enough hours in the day for work, home, swimming, baseball, blogging, projects and now facebook.

Paul joined too...Of course the race is on...who can get the most friends...come on girls...be my friend...pretty please with sugar on top...No Ann and Balbi you can't ask to be Paul's friend it won't be fair! ;)
