But hey, at least the dishes are clean.

Thursday, I had the same day off as the husband and we planned ahead of time that it would be a day of cleaning. A day where the dishes that have been in the sink for over a month actually get washed and the toilets… you do not want to know the look of them. It was a word that is way worse the disgusting.

I was actually excited that we’d get this house back into order and when I woke up Thursday I went straight to the kitchen and put my purple cloves on and dug my hands in the dirty water that has been sitting there soaking the dishes over a month and empty it. The stench, oh the stench people was way out of control. Waaaay out of control. And the layer of mould… gross. G R O S S. Immediately my pregnant self loss control and I threw up on that same mouldy water. Sorry, but I did. You would have too. Hey I still stuck it out and kept going and the dishes well they are clean and I vowed to only use paper dishes from now on.

The husband took care of the toilets and vacuumed. Clean out the cat litter and smashed all of the soda cans. He took out the garbage and dug out my books from the garage so I could actually put them out my empty bookshelves.

And we did all this while Wyatt was at preschool. We then picked Wyatt up and headed to the travel agency to book our Disneyland Vacation for October. A month after I would be having the baby.

Originally it was going to be just Cody and Wyatt going but then the nice lady talked and it made me feel jealous so I convinced Cody that I could go too and that taking a maybe one month old wouldn't be that bad. I could do it! I mean I went back to work full time after 2 weeks after having a C-section with Wyatt and I also hiked for a week in Zion's last summer after I had emergency appendix surgery a week before. I could totally handle a 1 month old in Disney right?

Well as we headed home to go back and clean the rest of the house I choose to take Wyatt to a movie instead and Cody headed into work to close since he is short employees. So as I am typing this I currently have laundry still folded on the floor in the living room and more to fold smashed in a basket in the laundry and still more in the dryer. The dishes are clean but still need to put away so they are sitting on the counter. Wyatt’s toys are all over, some in each room and the books Cody got out for me well they are still in the box and my bookshelves are still empty. So the clean house I envision is still non-existent. But hey at least the dishes are clean.

Oh ps, I am slowly getting around to those who are new here. HIIIIIIIIIIII and HELLLOO!! Thanks for stopping by!!! and can I say I have some great posts coming up… my plans are to talk about raising a sensitive boy and the “brave badge” that helped him talk to people. Also to talk about a pooping issue we have been having. And a chore chart in the works and dare I say I am going to talk about where I am at in the pregnancy and also the fact that the husband refuses to choose a name. And how my work doesn't realize that I am 4 months away from not being in the HR office because of my maternity leave and what that means to them and how you should act doing an interview to actually get the job. So look out cause I will be blogging. I hope you stick around with me.

Okay, now I will leave you with a photo from my actually big girl camera! (wait, I still have it?) Cause no post is good with out pictures.

This is from the Color Festival where my camera decided that it would be a good idea not to work. Poo, so out of the 100+ photos this is the only one I could save that I actually like. I cried, when I got home and found out that really none turned out because of my card reader. But hey at least this one is of Wyatt. So enjoy.

I should be packing.

Our vacations have been taken, worked has been worked but all the boxes are still unpacked, junk has yet to be gone through and I cant seem to get my self to start packing and our move in day is near so near that stress levels have risen.

Its too overwhelming. I don't know what I want to keep, what I want to give away, what I want to sell. I just sit and stare at the boxes. Then I stare at our junk.

I think of how all I want to do is throw it all out. Start completely over. The junk we have has been ours for 7 years. It doesn't match, its not the cool antiques that you want to keep. Its nothing I’d want to pass down to Wyatt when he is older. It is all junk.

Broken McDonald's toys, frames that house old pictures, card board star war cut outs that the husband saved from his work.

Old books that I have never read, DVD movies that are still in the plastic wrapper and a ton of CDs. Couches that don't match, book shelves that are broken and a table that the legs are completely chewed on by Cody’s brother’s dog.

I moved out when I was 18 took nothing but my teenage crap which then led into marriage crap when Cody moved in with me after we got married. I want to start over where my things matter. Where when I am old Wyatt will want to take some of it with him because it reminds him of home.

I want a fresh new start, a start that doesn't began with all my old junk.

So my house is a little dirty...

That doesn't mean that I am addicted to the internet.

(one side of the living room... filled with bills/junk mail that needs to be shredded and Wyatt's toys. Yes,
that's a laundry basket filled with more of Wyatt's toys.)
 
(the other side of the living room, more junk mail, movies, board games, shoes and Cody's Watches.)

(one side of the kitchen with a weeks worth of dishes. and no my dishwasher doesn't work. :(
that why its a weeks worth of dishes.)

(the other side of the kitchen, with the table full of Easter baskets and all the stuff I am going to donate to my sisters yard sale if she'd ever COME GET IT!! also that's where the cat stuff is and the washing machine. No we don't eat at the table EVER.)

(Mine and Cody's room filled with all the stuff we took out of Wyatt's room when we were spring cleaning plus dirty and CLEAN clothes every where.)
 
(Wyatt's room the cleanest its ever been. We just organized his closet went through his toys and got rid of a lot.)

Um... I think I might have a problem.

Sometimes there is more important things to do then dishes.

I have been putting doing these off for days.

The type of person that I am always puts FUN things before chores. Which pisses Cody off more than anything else since he’s the type of person who puts chores or in his case work before FUN.  With that being said I found any type of excuse to tell him so I can continue to put off them off.

Yesterday my excuse was…

I’ve worked the last 3 days in row.

Phh… I know I know  its not an excuse but still I got home at SIX that's difently not enough time to do them.

Right?

Now its not only the dishes that haven't been done. I have NOT cleaned the bathroom for a few days. uh… ok its pushing onto a week… but still

The laundry has been in this basket for a week and a half.

and its still in the basket as I write this…

HEY AT LEAST THEY ARE CLEAN!

and Wyatt’s room looks like this…

 

Okay so I might not be very good at being a housewife but I feel like I am an excellent mother and here’s ONE of my many reasons why…

EVERY Monday I take Wyatt to his Toddler Time/Music class at the Tree house.

This day was the first time that Wyatt followed EVERY DIRECTION with out me showing him how… I was so proud of him that I seriously had tears of joy in my eyes.

I felt like a dork wiping them away but I just couldn’t help it he literally was growing up in front of me.

I took a billion pictures and I tried to narrow them down to a few million so I’m sorry for the ridiculous amount of pictures… I just could help myself

This is Spencer and Mrs… umm… I just forgot her name at the piano at the start of the class. 

Here’s Wyatt touching his toes during the song “head shoulders knees and toes…”

Here’s he is counting his fingers…

Spenser was so impressed by Wyatt that he chose him to “be an example” of how to do the “running” song  

He even sat threw the WHOLE story!

and played Ring-Around-The-Roseys with out needing to hold my hand once.

When it was all over he came up to me so proud that he did everything all on his own with out needed me. I truly believe that it was because I have always let him know that regardless of what's going on I will ALWAYS be just a few steps away just enough to give him the space to grow and learn all on his own and that's exactly what he did today.

 

So with dishes piling up at home the laundry unfolded and the bathroom a little stinky I can sit here and say that those things don't matter as much as being there for my son and allowing him to accomplish things he didn't know that he could

as I watched in awe.

Waiting for “blankey” to dry

The other day when I did my annual “WASH THE BLANKEY” day Wyatt would not leave the washer/dryer alone.

When I finally did get it into the dryer he threw a fit every time I tried to shut the dryer door.

“NO MOM… ‘S DUN.”

I said “No Wy its not it has to dry.”

“Mom? Mimkeey?” as he holds him up

“Yes Mickey is dry.”(We washed him early that day.)

I then tried to shut the dryer doors again.

“No Mom ‘s dun… EEEE?”

As he pushes the button on the side to turn off the light.

Then Bud the cat had to come and see what was going on…

“EEE?”  Wyatt says as he points to his blankey.

Bud then jumps into the dryer to get a closer look…

which Wyatt thinks is hilarious.

 

On a side note….

I did eventually get to shut the dryer door thanks to Bud. He jumped out of the dryer which then made Wyatt follow and torture him.

Thanks for taking one for the team Bud I owe you some tuna later.

:D
