Saturday Blah

Could I be anymore blahed out? Probably not.

We're having friends over tonight so we spent today making the house presentable. It's still not squeaky clean but it'll do. It comforts me that the people coming over have pets too. I've never been to their house but I tell myself in my mind that it must be messier than mine since they have more pets than we do. That thought comforts me as I try to nonchalantly pick Stinky Dog hair off of their kid when he finds it.

Something the exwife said to Sweety the other day - "She (speaking of me, the great and fabulous Chickie) does things with the boys that you can't do!" This was spoken rather scornfully as if Sweety does nothing with they boys and I do all of the fun things with them. It occurred to me today that I do things that she does not do with them either. Pot calling the kettle black, yes?

Is anyone else out there watching Flight of the Conchords? It is so odd. I am addicted.

It seems that I started this post with the intention of saying something of worth but it has flitted from my brain.

I'm going to go sniff the furniture while it still smells like cleaning polish.

The only time we ever clean the house is when we are having friends over. Boy, somebody needs to come over soon.

Chickie said...

Joey Polanski - Mebbe.

Mike - How about every 3 weeks or so, we pretend that the other is going to visit? I wonder how long I could fool myself with that...

Isn't it funny that we all do that? Tell ourselves their house must be messier. I love going to my sister's house when its at its very worst. Makes me feel soooooo good.

FLight of the Conchords is sheer genius. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's addicted. (Plus, I have a little crush on "Jih-maine".

We like having people over - its the only time we make a serious effort at cleaning the house!!

Ginamonster said...

What? is she trying to cause a fight between you two? Jeez. I am thinking that Sweety is glad that you spend so much fun, quality time with the kids. At least he should be...

Sara Sue said...

Too bad you can't train dogs to clean, huh? Now THAT would be a dog whisperer!

Chickie said...

Regal - I always feel more comfy at someone's house that is a bit untidy.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow - I will now also confess that I have a bit of a crush on "Jih-maine". Sometimes, I don't really hear what he's saying because I'm so busy looking at him.

If Sweety reads this I'll never hear the end of it.

The Phosgene Kid - I'm glad that I'm not alone in my laziness!

Ginamonster - I think she was trying to make Sweety feel like he's not a good parent because I do things that she feels he should be doing with them.

I won't lie - in the summer, me and the boys keep the roads hot going all over because it's better than being cooped up at home with them!

Sara Sue - Sometimes we use Tiny Dog as a broom to sweep off the bottoms of our feet. Does that count?
