fuchsiasky Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 1. I can't figure out how to shop for groceries cause I don't know what to buy. I always had to consider Rob's needs and now its just me and DD. I don't even know what the two of us like to eat! 2. I want to attack hug every man I know. I just miss being held so much. 3. My house is a disaster! I just can't even. 4. DD spends much of her time playing on the tablet cause its an escape for her. And I let her cause she misses her daddy so much. And then I escape into my phone. We are becoming screen addicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 My bed is full of stuffed toys. I can't help myself. I've got a bunny, a hedgehog, an otter, a kitty, a husky, two Ugly Dolls, a Worry Doll, a tiny dog, a baby seal that belonged to my grandmother, and the teddy bear my grandpa gave me when I was two. I also have Sven and Kristoff from Frozen, and I was super excited yesterday when I found Anna and Elsa at a thrift store. Even if somebody wanted to share my bed (which no one does, or likely ever will), there wouldn't be room. :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoVerySad Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Jen, You know the pile of mail, papers, etc that many folks have on their table or a counter somewhere? My pile sits on my one side of my bed, along with my bills binder, etc.. It is out of sight of others since I'm the only one in my bedroom and it fills in the empty space that I can't stand to look at. My trouble is the cats like to lie on the piles and get them out of order, as well as sometimes wrinkled. We do what gets us by. Your bed sounds much more snuggly.

MrsDan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My voicemail is almost completely full, of messages from my husband that I can't erase, because you know, he's dead, and my boyfriend, which I won't erase, because, you know, he could die too.

SoVerySad Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm not very tech savvy. I played the messages out loud and recorded them with the sound recorder on my laptop. Then I made back up copies of them. I only had a few that were on an old answering machine as I had cleared the messages off my phone right before T passed away. They are pretty precious to me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsDan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My boyfriend has offered to help me back them up, as well as get in Dan's locked phone (yeah, that's just the kind of guy he is). But I think there's a part of me that just likes having them on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrskro Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Jen; I'm with you on filling up the other side of the bed. Mine is filled with clean unfolded clothes. The kids have to come in everyday looking for their stuff to wear. Windows have to be washed??? :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian53 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There is something wrong with me- I wash the windows every two weeks. All of them. Marian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmg19 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thank you Marian53 for the confession. Windows every two weeks for me too. I confess childhood habits are permanent. Sheets every week, windows every two weeks, and refrigerator before getting groceries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoVerySad Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Windows every 2 weeks? You ladies rock!! I'm pretty sure my grandmother who raised me is looking down on me in horror and wondering if I've forgotten everything she ever taught me about housekeeping. I remember that we used to iron sheets and pillow cases growing up. I don't even iron my clothing very often any more (but I do have a steamer I use, as well as the dewrinkling spray). My husband usually did the ironing as he was better at it. In my pursuit to get every single wrinkle, I tend to press new ones in. I bow to your window cleaning commitment!!

smm Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I am in awe of the window cleaners here! Window cleaning wasn't my job (nor the ironing ... I'm happy with wrinkled clothes) so they haven't been done in nearly two and a half years. There are horse prints on the outside of some windows and dog prints on the inside of others. Am I a totally slovenly person or does the fact my cooker is clean redeem me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian53 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Well, that depends- how clean is your fridge, sim? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smm Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My fridge is surprisingly, actually astoundingly, clean. Although, I do have some sweet potatoes lurking at the bottom of the vegetable drawer that I keep forgetting to use! By beloved OH would be gobsmacked at my ongoing domestication. That should tell you how domestic I am .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TooSoon Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I once found 9 used coffee mugs on the floor of my car. Not to go cups - just ceramic mugs. That was probably two years ago and I'll also admit that it hasn't improved that much since then. Type-B about the domesticity side of life...

SoVerySad Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 smm, I am so intrigued by the horse prints on the outside of your windows. Do your horses come look into the windows of your house? Are you speaking of nose prints or actual footprints? I love horses - find them so beautiful. Alas I'm afraid of heights so never really enjoyed riding, but I do enjoy loving on them.

Guest Damiansinc Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Confession: The day I placed Sara in a nursing home I came home to find out my house was (and clearly had been) fully infested by fleas. I mean everywhere. I was too blind by stress to even notice before. So clean...yeah...you'd think that experience would have inspired me to wash my windows a little more. Alas, no. I did buy a roomba and love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHeart2 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Haha love all this window washing talk! ALD, what's a roomba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TooSoon Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 ALD, what's a roomba? A round vacuuming robot. Cleans a room then docks to charge. You can program it to clean at any time. A roomba does more than clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
