Oh I don't doubt that it's not THAT HARD to keep a house clean. I would just rather sit on my ass after eating dinner than get up and clean some shit. I will fully own that.
My children follow me around tearing up the shit I just cleaned up.
My favourite is when they dump out toy bins AS I'm putting the toys in.

Yes, exactly. Hell, I SAH, and there's no reason at all that I *need* a cleaning lady except that I just hate cleaning.
Now my flameful - I'm spoiling for a fight with H. He has been such a whiney martyr this week that he's had off, and just told me he picked up an overnight shift for tomorrow night because "he just has to get out of the house because he can't handle it anymore, so fair warning, he's going to need to be out of commission all day sunday recovering from that."
I'm keeping my mouth shut, but eff dude. Who knew it was SO HARD to have a WHOLE WEEK OFF OF WORK. He has good vacation time, and I've got half a mind to just tell him to give lots of it back and go to work because I don't think I can handle this every other month or so. So yeah. I want my h to go work instead of taking the vacation he earned. And then there's the whole thing about when I get my weeks off of work. I know it isn't a contest of who works harder/more, but it is getting pretty hard to remember that when I get the heavy sigh on the phone when I ask him to pick E up from school so I can run errands alone.
also - winter needs to END, because I think a lot of this is stemming from being stuck inside, and being cold, all the time.

Not helpful, but I would probably pick a fight, too.

It is really hard for me to keep our house clean. Because I'm lazy when I'm home and cleaning sucks. 90% of the time our house is a mess that continues to pile up until company is coming. If I would invite people over more often my house would stay so much cleaner.

Okay, I have a flameful! (I'm excited because I never have one)
I've actually rather enjoyed this winter. I like it coooooolllllldddd, and all of this snow has been glorious. I love having the excuse to just stay indoors and read all day. I'd be okay if this lasted until April.*
* I don't own a home (so no shoveling/pipes freezing/potential flooding), and I use public transportation to get to and from most everywhere.
Ok, I have a confession, but I've been wondering about it. Did ottermama ever thank the people who sent out gifts for her kid? I'm probably being a bitch for even bringing it up, but I'm curious.
i guess confession isn't the right word. Flameful question? Lol

I think "shit-stirrer" is the appropriate phrase here
we just talked about this in terms of cleaning. why would I sit there and enter numbers on turbotax when someone else will do it for me? so lazy, Toledo. I am SO.LAZY.
I never understood the otter thing. Her husband was out of a job for less than a week and she was freaking out about toys for Xmas...and made a wish list. I don't care if someone offered to help. It's ok to say no thank you. Your kid is 2 mths old, no need for toys. Worry about freaking diapers, food and your electric bill. He got severance and unemployment, right? Then a new job?
I just hope it's payed forward. It all made me feel icky.
