"Keeping It Real"

Thanks Kristi so much for tagging me, there's nothing more I want to do than show the whole blog nation my toilet!! JK
The idea is to take pictures, according to the instructions, of how things are now. Not after you clean, put on make up or wash the dishes. It's how it is now. So I got this awhile ago, but life has been so crazy I haven't been able to pick up my camera lately. So this morning was the best opportunity. One point, we've made it a rule in our house that no play or computer time, till your dressed, your beds made, your teeth are brushed and your hair is done. This is the only way I can get Lorin ready for school without having to compete with the TV, or computer, or VSmile. So I have to follow the rules too before I could sit down at my computer. So here it goes



For any of you who don't know, this is me. Hair barely done, makeup-blah. And my veg clothes. Today is very much a veg day. My butt got worked last night at volleyball, so laundry will be really lucky if it gets done today.






This would be my toilet, not much action goes on in this room, beside the norm(hence the air freshener :). I didn't dare show you the kids toilet. Only death goes there, even if I cleaned it once a day(which Definitely wouldn't be happening today) with the things christian puts down it, still only death would go there.







I love my red bed spread. There's something about dark wood and red that I just love. Lorin and I have this deal, I'll smooth out her bedspread if she puts all her pillows and millions of dolls on it. Then after I make my bed she puts all my pillows on it. So it doesn't look beautiful, but at least it gets done.







I've tried so many times to organize my closet, it just doesn't stay that way. Mike's got racks all to himself and he wont let me touch them or invade them.







Lorin finally got her "computer time" her hair is going to need another inspection from me, but being that this is a veg day, I'll let her slide a little bit. It's so nice that she can play all her barbie stuff on her computer, or else I would never get to blogging.






Who ever said boys were easier, was so wrong!! All it took was for me to go down stairs for two minutes to take pictures, for Christian to find something else to get into. This is our day: Me- It's been 2 mins and I haven't heard Christian, what could he be getting into. I then hear Christian coming in the room. Christian- Mom I need help washing my hands. Here he comes walking in with chocolate all over his face, all over his hands. Chocolate hand prints on the wall all the way up the stairway. Chocolate smudges on the carpet at the top of the stairs where the wall was no longer, so he used the top step to get up. Chocolate on the floor in the kitchen. And finally a chocolat-ified candy bar wrapper on the top of the trash can. I guess I should be happy he threw the wrapper away and that he was wanting to wash his hands.





Ohh my Kaki, she is such a good baby. We had a rough patch a few days ago when she was sick. But she is so good. She just crawls around exploring, nothing to scary yet. Then gets tired and I put her in bed and she falls asleep. She is such a happy baby and definitely a joy to have in our family.




My sink at its best, at the end of the day multiply this by 5. Christian has to have a sippy cup at breakfast, a sippy cup at lunch and a sippy cup at dinner. Then when he's done with each of them he throws them in the sink and says new cup. Lorin has to have a different silverware for each different thing she's eating. So for dinner if we have meatballs, and rice with salad and pudding for dessert. She has to have a fork for her meatballs, a spoon for her rice, another fork for her salad, and a baby spoon for her pudding. So we go through dishes like water at our house.




Our fridge speaks for itself, we like food. What can I say.




We keep any and all chemicals in our laundry room with the door locked, or else we would be calling poison control on a daily basis, with Christian. We've only had to do it a couple times so far and it turned out he lived through both of those times.



I don't really have a favorite pair of shoes. My piggy's like freedom. So barefoot is my favorite. Now going out somewhere, heck no, I'll just throw on what ever is by the door. I will only sacrifice so much pain for beauty and Mike always complains whenever I get a new pair.
I would also have Mike's handsome mug on here, but he leaves for work at 6am and I am in the middle of counting ZZZZ's at that time.


So I enormously tag Barb, I really want to see what the place looks like after I got you hooked on Twilight this last week. :) And all the Villa ladies, let's see what ya got!!
