Can I Tell You a Secret?

I am supposed to be putting laundry away right now. As I type this, my husband is downstairs helping the boys do homework. There is a sink full of dishes, and my house smells disconcertingly

Oh, holy crap. I am so behind on my blogroll that I only just now saw that you have a DOT COM! I am SO in love with your new page, and can't wait to spend time on it!

I'm so happy for you!

I so feel your pain. All houses should come with a "secret mommy room." We need somewhere we can hide darnit! *sigh* Maybe someday...

January 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterStacey

You can run but you can't hide. They'll find you now matter what. I think Stacy is onto something with the secret mommy room thing.

I wish that I'd get left alone some days too. But the only time I get to blog properly these days is after everyone goes to sleep at night.

On last thing before I leave you be, that Rambo post is not my latest post so I don't think it loves me very much. I will dodge the period post.

Ha ha! I am supposed to be upstairs. In bed. Waiting for J to wake up. Instead, I am here. Doing this . . .commenting. I said, "Only one more" THREE HOURS AGO. I am trying to think up something to say to my hubby when he asks, "Are you just NOW coming to bed?" It is nearly 2 am. What can I say??? I fell asleep? I decided to organize the junk drawer? I have a tummy ache? Better think fast . . . J is about to wake up!

You actually got a moments peace in your room, on your bed, with your lappy, in the middle of the day? How dare you.

This goes to show you the havoc that comes from being overwhelmed and avoiding your reader for weeks to the point you finally cave and hit "MARK ALL AS READ".

You go and move and I finally go, "DUDE, DID SHE DIE?!" and discover that I am SOOO behind the game.

Duh.

Anyhoo. I updated my feed. (I know you are uber thrilled about this, huh?)

Lurve the new digs.

Yeah, I often send my hubby upstairs to give baths while I ummm "clean" the kitchen. Actually, I plop down and read blogs and play until I hear the baths coming to an end. Then I rush in and finish the kitchen. They are none the wiser.

What is that saying... "A sign of a clean house is a sign of..."

I put the kids to bed super early and then I hide. My husband has been watching a lot of TV. Alone.

Did we catch you napping on your family? Oh shame.

I'm sure my mommy taught me how to clean dishes when I was like 2. She didn;t waste one minute putting mme to work. I know I vacummed at age 6. You need to stop the guilt trip and get down there a drive those little slaves.

Hint: There gonna grow up to be ungrateful wretches no matter what you do. At least you can get them to clean your house before they move out.

When the little one is at MDO two days a week, when I should be doing productive things around the house, going to doctors, running errands. I sit at the computer for hours! I figure I managed to do all that stuff before she went to school with her in tow, why should I give up my free time? I'm do what I want. Which is nothing!

(to say the least!) uh! here is another one now... shit can't they give me any time to do anything??? i might just have to sneak away into my room tonight to straighten up and put away laundry too, even though i won't have my handy dandy computer there, it will be a whine/cry/beg/annoy free zone. thanks for the GREAT idea!
