My Vice

Sweeping.

Oh how I loathe it.

I look at that broom in all of its bristle glory and I despise it. I usually put off sweeping the floor as much as humanly possible. But I’m a mom now, and when coffee grinds spill all over your floor and your children are licking it up, you need to do something about it I suppose.

I even tried to buy a leopard print broom, you know- to make it more attractive. Maybe it will make me a sweeping machine? I thought to myself at the checkout counter.

No such luck.

When I have no choice, I sweep. Unfortunately for my husband, all I do it sweep the mess to the side. I never actually use the dust pan to pick it up. So in reality, it’s still there- it just resides in one little area of the kitchen.

I don’t know why I do this.

I mean, is it so hard to get the dusting pan and pick the mess up?

Yes.

Yes it is.

Even though my house is in disarray 97% of the time, I just do NOT have the energy.

I mean, why clean if it’s going to get dirty again?

Is there really a point?

So by sweeping the mess to the side, I am making a concentrated effort to partake in the family chores- just not commit to them fully.

My girls may eat a dirty cheerio from time to time, but wont that just make them stronger?

Another option? Get them started young…

Get them started young is what I always say by you.

you missed a spot

Leopard really does make it better

Things That Disturb Me

Things That Disturb Me #1:

So I watch the Show Weeds- AMAZING Show. Mary Louise Parker is perfect in it. Just perfect. Add a dose of Kevin Neelon and you have a party.

The thing that disturbs me?

I am a little bit obsessed with the actor that plays her son Silas.

Silas Botwin - Weeds Wiki

I am disturbed because he is young enough to be my son. He’s what- 18 years old? I got my period at 10 years old… so yes, technically he could be my son (if I got pregnant on my first period). G-D I am sick.

Things That Disturb Me #2:

My brother’s apartment was broken into a few weeks ago. Besides for the fact that he lives in my building and there has not been one break in since I moved in 4 years ago (there has been heavy construction on my building the past few weeks…), what disturbs me is what was taken.

The usual things were stolen, his new laptop, an ipod, his electric shaver. It gets weirder…. HIS FEBREEZE was stolen. My brother is meticulous about his stuff. His OCD makes him aware of every single thing he owns. So.. he immediately realized it was gone.

Just gone.

That and a new bottle of body wash.

Who the fuck breaks into an apartment, steals a laptop and then says to themselves, ‘hmm I may as well steal his febreeze.’

That’s just not normal.
