To do list day

Hello fellow housewives ( my husband asked if men could read my blog or if they have to wear a dress to do it and i said i would love if dress wearing men read my blog and asked if he needed a dress so he could participate. sadly he declined.) 

Today's tip is: to do lists

Now I know what you may be thinking, but I tried it today and it seems effective so far. I wrote down 3 things I would like to get done today. Today was, wash dishes as we finish eating and while cooking, two was 1 load of laundry put away and three was go on a date with my husband(it's been months since we did anything without Landon.) 

I almost failed the dishes part. Sometimes I look at the dishes and think, should I do them? But really in the time it takes to think that thought I could have been done with the bowl and spoon. I didn't cook today, I might have done that on purpose so I didn't have to clean more dishes( shhh...the homemaking fairies might smite me, I should have cooked a 4 course meal or roasted a turkey) we ate cereal and a pb and j then for dinner my husband took me out to Taco Bell.( he had never seen a Taco Bell/pizza hut before and wanted to try it with me.) you don't want to know what grandpa fed him because it was unhealthy, high in sugar and very yummy (but he's 3 and he runs every calorie off plus anything grandpa ate he worked it off chasing him)

I did one load of laundry today and folded it, it still is sitting on my couch. I'm waiting for the homemaking fairies to put it away like when Mickey cleans with his mops or when the good fairies in Sleeping beauty makeup their house while she is out flirting. ( mmm, no wonder she poked her finger with the needle, she probably had no clue what it was. Though she should have talked to Cinderella. Now there was a woman who was prepared for being a housewife.) 

The date was...good. Lots of unexpected events. Lets start of by saying that I asked my husband to go on a date with me, he said yes. So I showered,curled my hair, put on make up and a cute outfit. I was ready to rock. He comes home after retrieving his work van from the shop, looks at me, says I look nice. :) then comments that he thought we were going to the dump before our date. What I was wearing was not dump approved. So instead on a nice sweater jacket I grabbed my old hoodie. Hoodies to nothing for newly curled hair, and neither did the pony tail that I ended up putting it in. The dump turn out to be comical because the dumpsters are tall. My husband who is 6'5 could easily throw garbage into them. I on the other hand at 5'6 had to climb metal stairs( not made for heels, every time I climbed the stairs my heel got caught) and throw the metal in. I am curious who thought of putting those stairs toward the back of the dumpsters, it was like walking down a dark alley and sneaking into your apartment because you forgot your keys and you know that your roommates don't lock the glass door (never did it...twice, honest). Later we ended up at Taco Bell had a nice salad( portioned...I don't think lettuce or rice is expensive, but they handed it to me I felt sad and hungry. I honestly think they put just enough in the bowl so I wouldn't complain that I didn't receive my order. It was very delicious though, which made up for the toddler sized portion. We did dessert at the local grocery chain and then we arrived at the movie theater. We debated what movie, we settled on Les Miserables. Hmm...mr. Jackman, I am very happy that you made the cut. ( I actually have a version of Oklahoma that stars him, he is talented) sadly we left he movie before Cozette could sing to her love. Want to know why we left? Because my baby was too Happy. Happy. she was giggling and cooing at the screen. Never in my life did I think I would leave a movie because my baby was too happy. 

I will end it here today. I would love to hear helpful hints and other suggestions to help improve my homemaking skills. 

P.s. draino is a wonderful product and I used it to unclog a very nasty bathroom sink. Not only is it unclogged, but it cleaned the sink too. Or the housewife fairies did, do you think I have to leave a tip? What do you buy a fairy anyway...
