Doing Housework??

Awwww, Lindsey, sorry your day isn't going well. I'd come over and help, but I think it's a little too far.

I had a friend that use to live in Dallas. I went and stayed with her for a week and I love it there. They had a beer barn..so cool and I saw armadillos and road runners. They took me to this adobe type building one night and if you looked one way you could see the lights of Dallas and the other I think it was Ft. Worth. I'm not sure, but the lights were sure pretty. I also got to see where Bonnie and Clyde were buried. And let's see...I went to this bar (can't remember the name of the guy it's named after) but it had shops in it and 47 working bars and a dance floor. Nice place. Oh and I went to South Fork Ranch. In all the years that Dallas was on TV, I only missed two shows. That was because I screwed up the VCR somehow. I loved Texas!!!

Well it was a nice thought anyway! I got the hose on my vacuum to work, turns out it was just plugged up, so i vacuumed the whole living room and my bedroom with that, so it's good enough for now. Just a little more tidying up and I'll be done!!!

The one day I'm off work and don't have specific committments and I will spend it breathing cleaners, folding clothes, etc, etc. Hey, it's not too bad though. My family is well, I have a nice secure, home & am loved. So for all of you out there doing the same as I am today, I wish you well!! And pray that you too are in a good place!!

Marilyn, that's sweet of you to think of us all and wish good thoughts. I normally don't do much housework on weekends, I play. I do the majority of my heavy cleaning Monday thru Friday's.

I turned on the vacuum and it made some banging noises and then stopped working altogether! I'm a poor student here, I can't afford anything other than my parents' hand-me-down vacuum from the early 80's. I called my mom and we decided it was just the end of the vacuum that wasn't working, so I should just take that off and use the hose to vacuum for now and they'd see if they could order a cheap new one and get it sent down here to me next week. So I tried that, and it won't even suck through the hose!!!! I am so frustrated, and my dog keeps sniffing and licking at the carpet, which isn't good for her!
On top of that, my washer went and died last week, and i can't get it fixed until monday, so I have piles of clothes and towels and sheets in my bedroom until then
All I want is a clean house...

Girl I know how you feel...so far this month my car has been in the shop for two weeks, my shower is spraying water ALL over the bathroom, my washing machine broke, and now my stove is acting weird......if it's not one thing it's another!!!!

You wanna know how many times a day I say that? Geez! It's like when it starts going, it all goes. It's during these times when one says "Calgon, take me away", or "Pour me a strong drink, shut up, and leave me the hell alone!!". I personally prefer the later one.
