Day 17: Anything special for Tuesdays?

So I was thinking today that we have several day theme options for when we run out of other ideas or when we want something quick. There's Menu Monday, Wordless Wednesday, Thankful Thursday and Fun Fact Friday. Is there anything special for Tuesdays? My blog ideas list is getting short!!
But Tuesdays for me are a kinda blah day. It is what passes for Monday in our house due to Jayme's schedule. He is off Saturday, Sunday and Monday every week, so Tuesday starts my time alone with Pattie. It's the day I do the laundry and get the house back in order after the weekend. It is often a day of frustration as I look around and see just what a mess my family has made of this place. Yet every time I tell myself that I will institute a Monday evening clean up for all...it doesn't happen for whatever reason.
Examples...you want examples? My pleasure:
*Last night while Raley did his homework I gave Clay the job of bringing out their dirty clothes to the living room and making sure everything was turned right side out. He complained and complained and acted like he hasn't had to do it a thousand times and finally finished the chore. This morning I went in their bathroom and found a huge pile of dirty clothes on the floor *sigh*
*Last night I asked Jayme to please make sure all his dirty clothes got in the hamper and yet there they sit, on the floor on his side of the bed or in front of his dresser *sigh*
*I forgot to put our leftover spaghetti away last night and the waste of money stares me in the face every time I walk in the kitchen. At least the chickens will be well fed today *sigh*
I think I'll stop there before I get too far down in the dumps. Lucky for me MOMS WHO NEED WINE is having a toasting event tonight and I happen to have a bottle of Funf chilling in the fridge. I can see it now, after Pattie is in bed, I'll draw a deep, hot bubble bath and light a few candles and drink a nice glass of wine and fall to sleep tonight peacefully. Who am I kidding? I'll chug the glass and crash in bed because I don't want to have to shave my legs. LOL! Just another day in the land of Chaos :)

  1. Wow!! Your life and my life are identical! I find myself in a world of frustration everyday. I have a teenager, a tween and a husband that make a mess of this place daily! It doesn't help that we have four floors but still.... shouldn't it be a team effort??? Maybe I should just quit! :)

  3. How about Timewarp Tuesdays, where you tell something from your past?
