    Well, we can have our own fun right here!

    Cleaning day sounds awful, but it has to be done...

    And about my thumb, it's a good size... or so I've been told ;) ;) ;)

    It does have to be done, I just don't want to be the one to do it. I'm tired of being the only indian in a house full of chiefs. ;)

    So, your thumb is a good size, that's good. ;)

    Why is it that the mother/wife is always the default custodian in the house? Where's the husband?

    With that said, I don't do nearly as much as I can to help around the house... I'll have to help out more often in my own house

    Sadly that's the way it is in many homes. My hubby had a mother that did everything for him, he'd wake up in the morning and breakfast would be on the table, he'd leave the dishes on the table and voilą, they'd magically be cleaned and put away when he next cam into the kitchen. He'd leave his dirty clothes on the floor and voilą, they'd magically clean themselves and fold themselves and be available in his closet and drawers.

    His mother set him up to be dependent, but we're working on it. He does help, when I tell him to, but I don't feel like I should have to tell him, it's our house, shouldn't we both work to maintain it?

    Sorry, little vent. I'm okay now.

    Now, go clean your room young man. ;)

    Venting is fine... :)

    And my room is ALWAYS clean. Well, maybe not "clean" clean, but clean organized, you know? Yeah, sure, its dusty and I have a dirty glass on my bedside table, and the closet is a mess, haven't vacuumed in months, but it is pretty good for a teenage boy, if you ask me :)

    You can't tell me your room was clean when you were a teenager, right? I mean, c'mon, teenage girls are the WORST with clean rooms!

    My room went through stages as a teen. There was the "ultra clean eat off the floor stage" and the "clothes everywhere and something rotting under the bed" stage. It all depended on my mood at the time. I miss those days. Sigh. ;)

    Ha, as does everybody... I think I'm in a good place with my room. Clean, but with not too much work. ;)

    Well, I've got to go do homework now... Get ready for school and refresh my brain on anything I may have forgotten over the past week. And my cruel English teacher is making the class write a quiz on the FIRST day back!

    Nice talking to you Alty, and have fun with your cleaning day!

    I'm here now, stayed up too late last night. Me and Starbs tried escaping last night but I got tired and gave up.

    I'm tired now... It needs to be cleaning day in my house. I have a toddler so things are never straight! He's sleep now so I have a little "mommy" time.

    I tend to be a clean freak, and my wife not so much lol...

    Your right, having a toddler running around it is hard to keep things straight for sure.

    Having pizza but the only thing little buddy is eating is all the pineapple first lol... Favorite food...

    See you guys later... I was so cranky and frustrated today. I was up until 4 or 5 am and got up at 7...

    Everybody left you all by your lonsome Joe? Big fat meanies! Heehee!

    I didn't fall asleep until about 5:30 this morn, and I woke up and looked at the clock, and thought... WHAT? It's 3pm! I never sleep straight through like that! Guess I really needed that.

    Oh well, it's raining out today. Isn't no need to go outside!. but I missed having Banana Pancakes! ;) At least it's not SNOWING again.
