Still improving

You know what’s even better than trying to be perfect, failing, and feeling miserable? Having a husband who’s willing to help you clean the house.

Last night the Romgi helped me clean our bedroom. It was a too-overwhelming-to-start situation for me, but we divided things up and got it cleaned after the kids were in bed. (No way can anything be tidy when the Bwun is awake. That kid knows how to make a mess!) Then it just took a quick vacuuming and presto – a clean room! Also, I did 7 loads of laundry and I’ve got easily 5 more to do tomorrow. But hey, we like having clean things.

That awesome turtle pillow was a Christmas gift from my brother a bajillion years ago. It's still comfy. But the Romgi has sort of claimed it. That's ok, I've claimed almost every single one of the Romgi's tshirts. I use them for pajamas. And just chillin'.

And the incredible 70s pillowcases are borrowed (ahem) from the Romgi's parents. I think I saw a matching sheet set in their linen closet once. Not that I was looking or anything.

Angry about the mess. (No, not really.)

Peaceful and content, now that it's clean.

Other news…? I have 6 more books to read by the end of the year. One is a picture book. This is doable, right? I can’t believe I’m having trouble reading 26 books in a year! Oh well. My kids are cute, so I guess I’m a winner anyway.

Bad morning. Decent afternoon. Good football game. Delicious burrito. Overwhelmingly chocolate ice cream. Too much snow. Long drive home. Awesome husband.

How was your day?

I gave myself bangs today. It turns out that while I am pretty decent at cutting hair, I’m terrible at taking pictures of myself to show you my new look. Maybe tomorrow I’ll make the Romgi get a picture of me and the kids all together so you can ooh and ahh over us.

Also, I got a Baby Einstein dvd for free tonight. People pay money for this? Ok, I didn’t mean for that to sound so rude. I can definitely see how it is (1) more “educational” than a lot of kids shows and (2) less annoying than Dora the Explorer. I think it’s ridiculous that the Baby Einstein dvds have a repeat feature, and I also think it’s genius. But I hate to admit that.

And that’s the news from me.
