This morning is pretty boring overrall. The servers on WoW are down for the usual Tuesday maintenance, which means the forums are jammed. Housework needs to get done while I’m waiting and Abby is watching tv. I wish I had something to talk about, but my head is like a desert with a tumbleweed blowing in the wind.
Ugh.
I will state now that I am not the biggest fan of doing housework. If I can get away with just doing the bare basics I will. Unfortunately for me, the laundry has now built up into a giant amount and now I have about four loads to do. Which sucks, because I hate doing laundry the most with the up and down to the laundry room. I also have to do the infamous task of vacuuming too, which I don’t hate doing but it’s a pain in the butt to get the vacuum cleaner out of the closet.
Some days, I will have a ton of energy and I will fly around the house like a cleaning whirlwind. And then other days (like today) I would rather sit on the couch watching tv or going for a walk with Abby outside. I am not a slob in the slightest, but I am most certainly not June Cleaver. I have the apron and can dress up like Mrs Cleaver (and sometimes it makes me WANT to clean dressed up like that!) but today feels very much like a t shirt and sweats day.
Okay so right now I’m going to introduce you to my neighbour. She’s also the apartment manager and we’ll just call her Crazy Vacuum Whore…or CVW. Her daughter and Abby get along pretty well and don’t get me wrong…she’s a nice person. But she has a bit of a temper and will fly off the handle at the smallest thing. She also has this insane vacuuming habit. At least once a day she will go around the hallways and her apartment with the vacuum cleaner. There has not been one day where she hasn’t vacuumed. It almost makes me feel like a bit of a slob, because well I can’t remember the last time we vacuumed. It’s not that I hate vacuuming, I just have a daughter who absolutely despises the vacuum cleaner and wails like a banshee anytime I even get it out of the closet. I don’t even have to turn it on, as soon as she sees it…she will run to her room and start her usual wailing. I’d do when she’s asleep but by that time the elderly couple on the other side of me are probably asleep and I don’t want to seem like a crazy bitch doing my vacuuming when people are trying to sleep. And I would do it in the day, but Nick sleeps during the day because he has a 3rd shift job.
So I’m screwed and yesterday I could see all kinds of junk on the carpet…like dust bunnies, toenail clippings and Cheerios from way back when. Abby hasn’t eaten Cheerios in about six months. Yes, I still walk on the carpet but what else am I supposed to do? I try to get Nick to take Abby to the park but it seems to go in one ear and out the other. Sigh.
I just got finished in the bathroom. I took a nice long bath, washed my hair, shaved, etc…I’ve also got a bit if an obsession with Crest WhiteStrips, so I’ve just put a couple more on my teeth. It’s not that my teeth are particularly stained or anything, but they are a bit beigey…haha. Having white teeth would be nice to have. I’d also like to visit a dentist soon. I’ve not seen one in about three years, and it’s starting to bug me a little. My teeth are pretty nice after having a brace on them as a teen, and I just don’t want anything bad to happen to them. I was at Walgreens today, and I bought some stuff for myself. Now I think about it, I probably should have bought myself a new toothbrush- since the one in there grossed out my mother-in-law the other day, LMAO. She’s such a clean freak, I swear.
And I still need to do the housework, but at least I folded the laundry!
Today is a Saturday, and I’ve never been a fan of the weekend. I used to love them when I was in school, but as soon as i reached college I hated it because the weekend meant coursework. Now it just means another day with Abby, doing housework and chasing her around the house and stopping her from playing with certain stuff. A few minutes ago, she had an accident on one of the the chairs in the living room and so I had to clean that up. I feel like I do nothing all day, yet I know that I do. If it wasn’t for me, this home would be a complete tip- well, okay, it’s not the cleanest at the moment but that’s mainly to do with the fact that i just don’t have the enrgy to do anything that I’m supposed to.
Anyway, it’s Vicky’s 25th birthday tomorrow and I have no way of calling her (the number I have seems to be out of service) and I used to have her email address, but I’ve lost it. I used to just call up her mum and ask her, but I don’t even know her number either. The only thing I can do is email her and hope that the email address is still in use.
Well, I’d better go and do some more housework- there’s laundry to fold. Ugh.
