TFT- Random thoughts

I don't have many deep thoughts in my head today. So, like Heather, I am going to just do a few randoms.

1. Family. My mom pointed out yesterday that a few years back Brian and I were looking to moving from MN to FL. The appeal is there, it's warm, there's an ocean, housing is decently priced. But, a few years back I couldn't have predicted the future. WTH would I have done down there with 2 kids, on bedrest and no family? I am soooooo lucky to have good friends and amazing family so close to me. For example, the night I started contracting, I called my mom at about 8 and at about 8:20, my doc told me to head to L&D, my mom was here by 8:30 to stay with the girls. I feel so blessed to have family I can count on. Now I have people offering to clean my house, do my shopping, watch my kids and refusing me to turn them down. Wow, I'm blessed. How do you do it if you don't have your family near?

2. My bathroom. Seriously, it's disgusting. Clutter everywhere, floor hasn't been swept in months, or washed, the toilet is nasty. Is your bathroom this way? Our other bathrooms are fine, but since nobody sees ours, it goes to hell. Ewwww.

3. A maid. Would it be wrong of me to have a maid? I stay home so technically it's my job to keep this place clean. Only thing is, my priorities lie with keeping my girls happy, healthy, clean and safe. That leaves me little time to really clean. I mean, I declutter daily, try to keep the kitchen clean. But, like my previous point, the bathrooms and floors go uncleaned. I want a maid, whaaaaa!

4. Pets. Why do I have them? I am such an animal person, love them to death. But, they drive me insane. ALL THE TIME! I feel like I spend half my time yelling at them, which I hate doing. I feel I should find more time to play with them and make them feel like family, but where would I get that time?

5. Winter. Sucks Ass. Enough said...

Ok, that's about all the thoughts you'll get from me today. I'm empty.

i love living close to all of our family. when we went through having tucker early and whatnot, i never had felt more lucky - ever.

i use the flushable wipes and then once a week i atleast go over everything with those. it makes me feel so much better and they make it smell clean too. it takes less than five minutes. just an idea?

i like to clean, but i would LOVE a maid. someone to scrub my floors, clean the windows, fold/hang the laundry, cook the meals! aaaaahhhh dreams.

i am not a pet person.

i am beginning to not be a winter person. we had the deep freeze, now we're getting a spring 'teaser' day before another round of crappy weather! errrrr.

1. When were you guys thinking of moving to FL? News to me!? I'd love to be there right about now. 1.5 Your mom is awesome for giving you so much help. Anything else you need, I am only 10 minutes away...2. ...and I don't mind cleaning bathrooms!
3. I know people who say that having a cleaning service saved their marriage (and a few of these ladies don't even have kids!)
4. You have two ginormous dogs and a psycho cat, of course they drive you crazy! LOL. I love my cats and they drive me crazy at times too :)
5. It is colder than I can remember for a long time. I am totally chilled to the bone. brrrrr.
