Thats Life!!!

Okay so, life is crazy! I've finally gotten to the point where I can no longer stand the sight or smell of my house! So, I decided to make myself a schedule...You know, clean the kitchen on Monday, the bathroom on Wednesday, etc...I figure with the kids doing daily chores, and me always doing the necessary dishes, vacuuming and laundry, a once a week deep clean ought to be good enough (easily better than it is now right?!!) well, the other day I was washing dishes and ground up a cup in my garbage disposal! A small glass cup! It was freaky...I put my hand into the disposal (don't try this at home:) to get out the bigger chunks of glass and pulled out pieces until I cut myself....then I just ground up the rest!!! And....it still works! I know, its probably bad for the environment but, I think its a testament to how well things were made thirty or more years ago (my garbage disposal is at least that old!) Oh, and my girls climbed up my dryer to see what was in the washer...well, now the dryer wont stay shut unless I duct tape it shut!!! So, you can see how difficult cleaning is in my house! But, the schedule is working! Its the most amazing thing. I have a specific job to do each day and it gets done really well! The rest of the house is pretty easy to keep up because it is clean from the day before! So, in less than a week I have fantastic results! And, I'm not afraid to go to the bathroom upstairs anymore! Bonus!!!! I know, its not as cool as Garth! Oh well....................*sigh*

Happy Halloween

Sorry its been soooo long! I know I am a blog reject!! Well, I thought I would make it up to you by inviting you to join me in sharing some Halloween memories! Favorites, funniest, scariest, you name it.....lets hear it! okay, I'll start...Remember when Darrell dressed up as Kermit the Frog? I thought that was the coolest costume EVER!!!!, how about when we worked all week to make the carnival in our backyard...that was awesome...remember David Durtschi wearing the real pumpkin on his head?? Hilarious!!! I still have fond memories of our amazing ballerina costumes...feather boas and all! Come on mom, make me a new one! Our Halloweens have always been so much fun! I have especially loved the last few years when we choose a theme...it is so much fun to gather all the stuff, and decorate the house!!! The kids (and the adults) are already planning next years Halloween party! Enjoy these next few pics...it was all I could find!

Lets go way on back.....

This pic isnt Halloween, but it was a tragic experience for me....I had a costume party for my birthday...and dressed up like a scarecrow! All of my friends thought I was Jeremy Baird...a boy we didn't like...who wasn't cute....ugh..it was so embarrassing...I guess I'll save all my other pics of myself dressed as a male for another post....hey...so, that's whats wrong with me!!!!
