Cleaning Woes

My house is an utter mess.

It seems no matter what I do, it stays a mess.

I get home from work around 5:30, so I have from then til 8:00 to cook, do baths & bedtime. I have virtually no time to clean. I get the kids to help me with what they can, but it's not enough. I can't get the Hubby to even pick up his socks, his boots, his shirt, etc. Wherever he happens to be when he takes something off, that's where it stays until I pick it up. It's nothing for several socks & work shirts to be in the living room floor. And it doesn't end with clothing. Plates, cups, wrappers, cans, mail, whatever.

I spend most of the weekend trying to catch up. But laundry alone is a 2 day job. And I would like to rest on my weekends too.

The Hubby mentioned on Sunday that I really need to get "organized". HA! I'd like to see him try to do what I do.

I don't have time to do the FlyLady program, or any other program really. I don't like the idea of doing little things a day like reorganizing my pantry, or cleaning out a drawer. I need massive action in a minimal time kind of help.

I'm at my wits end and have no idea what to do.

Does everyone else know some secret I don't know about? It really seems that way....

This Old Truck bites the dust

On my blog that I blogged on before this one, I talked about This Old Truck, the Hubby's dually, Here & Here.

Well it's gone. One month ago today, he hit a deer and a guardrail and totaled it. He was fine, THANK GOD, but check out this pic....



And check out the truck he bought.... does it look familiar? LOL



I will be trying to catch up on our happenings around here this weekend, bear with me, I know it's been a while since I was steadily blogging...

New Camera ... New Pics

My last camera messed up in November. I could take pics outside, but not at night, and none inside. I don't know what's wrong with it. I took it to the geek squad, they reset some settings, but it didn't help. So I bought a new Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. I am in Love =)
Enjoy these new pics!

3rd Pageant

Princess will be in another pageant next Saturday. It will be her third. This time it's the Talladega Motorsports Hall of Fame Pageant. She is super excited. If she wins, she will get to ride in the Talladega Christmas Parade. Here is her picture for the photogenic part of the pageant.

Busy All the Time!

Just as I'm getting used to 9-4 hours, I'm starting 8-5 tomorrow.
I'm not complaining, I like money!

The Hubby has been working more and more lately, 7 days a week. He's working out of town Monday through Thursday on his main job. But he has 2 other jobs that keep him busy. And he's always helping others out. Herding & tagging cattle. Moving equipment, building and wiring barns, etc.... AND he's leaving on a trail ride tomorrow. Between that, my work and LittleMan's baseball practices & games, I feel like I NEVER see him. =(

In other news, I got 2 ticks off Princess this morning and had a small panic attack. One was big and on the back of her head. The other was small and tooooo close to her girly parts.

2009 Petite Miss Easter =)

Princess didn't win photogenic this year, but she won the crown for her division =)
