Let's Get Real

My friend (and a lot of yours too! :) Amy posted a challenge today, and I thought it would be a great thing to post on Apron Girls... we're all about keepin' it real here, right? V already posted her "keepin' it real" on her own blog, too, so it seems to be the day to air the dirty laundry... literally! Yes, it's 10:30 a.m. No, my bed's not made. Yes, this is pretty much standard for me. YES, that's a bra on the floor. Get over it, will ya?


I had to put this one in there, because I can't even blame this mess on the kids... okay, I couldn't really blame the last mess on them either. ;) My purse, my camera bag, my magazine, AHA! Cooper's cereal bowl. I feel so much better now. ;) See that laundry basket with the cooler in it? That was brought in from the truck last weekend and it's still sitting right there.

If you look close, you might notice that this isn't quite the disaster it first seems. There are a lot of folded clothes there. I folded them two days ago, and didn't get them put away. Hey, at least I got them folded, Amy... ;) Now you can't tell the difference between the folded clothes and the boys' junk.


I'm stopping there, because that's about all the exposure I can take, and because I cleaned the bathrooms yesterday. (Too bad, because there is nothing as cool as a dead bug in pee on the back of the toilet... I'll have to document that before I clean it next time. Now all of you should take Amy's challenge too... post it here, or post it on your own blog and comment here with the link, then comment on Amy's blog to share the love... we've got to let each other know that there really isn't that elusive "perfect" out there. Come on, I dare ya!!

Thank you, Mindy. My psyche is still too fragile today to play along, but I might make it in time for Amy's tuesday extravaganza.

I really do feel better already. :0)

That is so refreshing!! But I still think you have seen me and my house at much worse. I am going to stick the excuse that my kids are younger and can't pick up after themselves like yours...is it working?;)
