1) After you spray the windex on the windows is not the time to realize that we are out of paper towels. Napkins do work in a pinch - but not the same.
2) The Bissel Little Green cleaning machine is a god send. Mr. Incredible bought it - and I was dragging my feet - I hate spending money. I found candy (I’m thinking it was nerds) stored under the lazy-boy chair - and it got it out!
3) Downsizing is easier to do when no one is home. I tossed a few things…okay more than a few things. We will wait and see if anyone notices before I actually put them in the garbage.
4) Less is more.
5) Blogging this early in the morning is sorta a good thing, I’m either not tired, or just getting an early start on my day! (going with the early start thing…)
6) Expensive ear drops are worth the $30 copay.
7) and the biggest news of all? Pan went on a roller coaster and loved it. Went on it twice, and was in line to go again - when according to him some “stupid girl passed out, cause she didn’t eat or drink anything all day”. and his Uncle J had to help her. AND… He finally rode his bike without training wheels, all by himself! He is having so much fun at Papa and Grandma’s!

I agree with the less is more theory, although you couldn’t tell by looking at our basement! LOL!
I’ve been getting rid of things, too, the last couple of weeks. A lot of it will be donated, but some we’ll sell and some just need to be thrown away.
It’s a good feeling to get rid of that stuff.

Use newspaper, it’s awesome!!!
p.s. we just bought a carpet cleaner and I thank all things holy everytime a dog pees or someone spills something that we spent the money on it.

YAY for Pan!! And you, cleaning, when no one’s around? Is that so it’ll STAY clean for more than 5 minutes?
12:40 pm
Yeah for Pan!! I wanted one of those little carpet cleaners - I still may go out and get one soon - very soon cause I can’t take it anymore!

newspaper works AWESOME on windows (and mirrors) I always do my mirrors on the day that all the junky flyer’s come in my mail box.
Do you notice that pan is different At his grandparents than when he is at home?
For example, blue boy(5) at home, he wets the bed at least three times a week, but never at his nana’s. He stayed there for nine nights and was dry every single one, without her monitoring his water and juice.
And Rainbow Man (7) is way quieter at nana’s tan at my place. He is willing to sit for hours and play legos, but at home, legos are a baby toy.
Just little things like that. Im just wondering, i guess, if this is something all kids do when away from home - changes in behavior I mean…

Trying to NOT turn green, as I sit surrounded by clutter and little-girl filth. I would clean it…. but it’d be back in the same state within a half an hour. Can’t find it in me to face that sort of… whatever it is.
