I love a clean house but getting motivated to do it sometimes is awful. If I was super rich I would probably have a cleaning lady though. I just feel it would be wasteful spending right now.

I would love a self cleaning house! I also would love if there was a button we could just press that would instantly get us ready including hair, makeup, outfit, etc. It would rock!
I'm trying to schedule my facial for next week and I've called THREE fucking times. I really want to use my gift card that DH and C got me for Christmas. The first time I called and left a message. When they called me back I was tending to C. It's a business so there should be someone there answering the phone. I want an hour of ME time dammit.
Yay, they finally answered! I made my appointment for Thursday @ 2. Woot woot!
My mom is a judgy mcjudgerson about my house being clean. She wants to come over all the time and gets annoyed when things aren't clean, beds aren't made, etc. I personally could give a shit less if the house is squeaky clean and when I tell her that she gets all pearl clutchy.

My mom is SO secretly judgey about this stuff. It stresses me and my sister out. When she is coming over I try to make sure things are pretty clean and picked up because it's annoying. You'd think she could cut us both some slack since we have children, but no.

My inlaws have stopped coming over as much lately- I feel like hardly ever. They used to come out almost 3 times a week, or at least 2. I feel like it's because my house is so messy. It's freaking hard. I finally just started getting both of them to nap in their rooms so I can actually start to TRY and do something while they're sleeping, but there just was NOT any time. The place is a mess. I feel like we belong on an episode of hoarders sometimes. The living room is large and babyproofed and we spend all of our time in here so the rest of the house is neglected and horrible. My MIL has tripped and fallen twice when she was over here. Once was ON Linus. One time she was trying to step over a baby gate and the other time she was trying to walk around this big box I had setting in the hallway that I had thrown in from the garage. I'm sorry, but she's klutzy. They've made offhand remarks about tripping over stuff. Yes, I have two little kids with a crapload of toys- if you can't hold the baby and not trip on the toys then don't hold the baby. What am I supposed to do, literally follow behind them cleaning up?!?! Anyhow, more of a vent. But the rest of the house is horrible and they've made crappy comments about it.

I have been intermittently cleaning all day now because a)my kid is sick and I'm paranoid about the germs lingering, and b) because this thread made me look around and realize how disgusting I've let things get lately and I just mortified myself. I can't wait for DH to get home so I can finish without feeling like I'm neglecting the baby.

Biblio: this board is totally ride or die for you. You're safe here.
Also: when I got Etta into the bright lights of daycare today, I realized she was COVERED in pet hair from crawling around the house. Mortified. So now that they are there and I have napped, it's CLEAN ALL THE THINGS time. Specifically floors. Rug is in the wash and the broom is coming out. Good thing there are several good shows in my Hulu queue to make up for doing floors on my me day. Keeping her from looking like a tiny lint roller with 2 dogs and a cat is going to be challenging.
Another FFFC: We're watching the German version of "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" while eating two different kinds of chips. I recognize three of the 16 "celebrities." Both of the kids are sleeping in bed, which is rare and makes me think the husband and I should be, uh, doing something else.
But he is cracking me up: "They should give me money to be on this show. I'd shit right in the middle of the camp." This was acoustically illustrated with farting noises.
Eta: OMG! Jamie-Lee Curtis' sister (Allegra) is on the show!
