grannys gone and done it

I used to eat to live. But, I have found that living to eat is much more fun!

Granny, I completely agree about the perfume.  I get a terrible headache from some perfumes.  One of the teachers at the elementary school would wear so much, you could smell it before you even opened the door.  Instant headache for me.  I had to stop volunteering in that class.  Luckily my boys had a different teacher.


Camping, the part about living on the edge of chaos is what goes on here.  I know what you mean about not having people in because you can't see the floor.   I call it HSS, Horizontal Surface Syndrome.  Any open flat surface gets covered with stuff.  It's a disease.   We all have it in this house. 

HSS! Yes! That's exactly it. I've just started throwing things away. Board games, playing cards... If I find a lonely piece I toss it, then every piece I find afterward. Puzzles are the worst. And folded laundry on the kitchen table. And stuff my kid colors in school...

I have an "office" where I stow my books and craft stuff. And 90% of my "cleaning" or "organizing" is just opening the door and tossing stuff in, then closing the door again. e

I live to eat chocolate! Everything else I can take it or leave it. But I usually take it.

My house is clean.

I cant find anything. he even cleaned his tool box and brought it in his bedroom. How/why should i have to go in the house to get a tool when i need it? makes no sense at all. you work with them outside. in the pole barn the wood is outside , every thing is outside ! then i have to go in for a pr. of pliers?

I have one of those "offices" too. It only gets cleaned up when we have a rare overnight visitor, because it also doubles as the "guest room."

My boys are finally past the Lego stage. They have acres of Legos and for years there wasn't a room in the house that was safe to walk barefoot. So the floors aren't actually too bad now, but the counters and tables... oy vey! I think I should get a housekeeper because it would make me clean up before they came. How's that for desperate logic?

Oddly, even in all the chaos, I know where everything is.... at least the important stuff. Cleaning up too much makes me lose things!

Junk mail is my biggest nemesis. I hate going through it, but won't toss it without removing personal info, so there's usually a pile or two waiting to be processed.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

a small garbage can by the door is a good spot for junk mail. then the burn pile or shredder in your case. I had a good time tonight with all of you. learned a few things. had some good laughs and met a new person. Not bad huh? Learned something new about chickens as well. Its not all instinct. some mate because they want to. I have the cabbage as proof. And tomorrow, If My dh dont behave he will be having coleslaw for dinner.

Good night all.

Good night granny!

We have a randy male parakeet that will have relations with a golf ball sized wiffle ball that was supposed to be a toy. Grossed out the boys, so they took his girlfriend toy away.

Good Lord! Granny is going to use the chicken's cabbage and make cole slaw for the hubby???
