I have 3 5ish year olds spending the night tonight. We had a pizza party, followed by outside playtime. Then I had the brilliant idea of running them around the neighborhood to blow off some excess energy. BLM and her BFF ran and ran and ran like the wind. Other friend (boy) didn't so much dig the sprinting, but I think it was because he had on flip flops.
They are a treat to have, but getting them to play quietly is a challenge. I am thinking they are going to be up late... Oh well.
I had a bit of a freak-out session over the state of my house. My carpet has not been vacuumed in 3 weeks. My vac is broken. I'm tempted to buy a Dyson Animal. I'm in total and complete disgust. The LM's are leaving for the lake tomorrow afternoon. I will be spending Wednesday night having a scrub fest. It will cleanse my soul. I think I want a Swiffer Wet Jet. I hate to mop. But, I'm in desperate need at this point. At least it is picked up for the deep clean. It's going to feel good. I'm going to sleep soooo good tomorrow night with my clean house.
Graduation was fun, but the crowd wore me out. I took a Xanex after the event, and then I had another Xanex plus a margarita (ok, 2) before dinner as I was having my freak out over my nasty house. Call me a drug addict. I don't care. Sometimes that is the only way I can survive the daily grind.
I'm glad I don't have 4 kids. I'm in awe of people who have more than 2. Especially that are close in age. I might fall right off the deep end.
Oh- side note: is it ok to call in to work to clean a dirty house? I'm entertaining the idea of it.

Get the Dyson! It will CHANGE.YOUR.LIFE. Just make sure you have some more Xanax on hand, as the sight of all the crap the Dyson sucks up will give you an anxiety attack when you realize all that has been hanging out in your carpet!

You know I love my Dyson so much that I am going to marry it. It will be a lot more fun than being married to your dad. Mimilicous
Mimilicious is awesome! She comments on your blog. Hey you know last Monday I took the day off for a mental health day. I cleaned my ass off. It felt amazing.
Ditch the wet jet. Splurge on the Dyson.
You drug addict, you! HA! Totally kidding... Drugs are a MUST to survive... I feel sorry for those that don't know the powers of the almighty 'Mothers Little Helpers' Ooh, I broke down and bought a Dyson two weeks ago. LOVE it!
The Wet Jet is crap--it just moves dirt around. Howevah, the Dyson is MAGIC. You will wonder how you lived so long without it.
You are more than welcome to come over and have a scrub fest at my house anytime.
I'll provide the margaritas.
It's pointless cleaning with my four in the house. It just makes me crazy and want to beat them.
Just save yourself the time and energy and hire maids. They will change your life and clean your house so well. Then take the day and go pamper yourself. That's what I do!! LOL.
Then you wouldn't have to buy a vacuum. Kidding of course but you get the idea!!
More than anything, I had to comment on the comment from Mimilicious. It's obvious where you get your quick wit! Maybe Mimilicious needs to start her own blog!
Did you call in sick? It's ok to be 'sick' of a dirty house!

BUY. THE. DYSON. TODAY! Like everyone said, it will change your life. It's so exciting to see all that disgusting stuff swirling around. I've had one for 2 1/2 years and LOVE it. In fact, I think my dh likes to vacuum more than I do! Thumbs down on the Swiffer. Get one of those microfiber mop things at Target and you can wash it. Have fun cleaning. Now if I could motivate myself to do that...
Vacuuming? What's that?? I need a maid AND some margaritas!
Is it possible that I hate cleaning so much because I am doing it without Xanax? I will have to ponder that. I feel so inferior when you blog about cleaning. It is a rare occurrence at the Vann casa.
I love the slide show!!
I dont know squat about vacuums, so you can fill me in when you make that decision!
I have the Dyson DC14 Low Reach. My in-laws bought it for me for Christmas a couple years ago. AND I LOVE IT. I use it everyday! If I had to pick what my favorite things are in life, the Dyson and my Apple laptop would be in the top five!
Get the Dyson, men love to use the animal. Its a manly vacuum.
