Keepin’ It Real Thursday
(If you have not had a chance to leave Sarah a message, please go to yesterday’s post and write her a word of encouragement. Thank you so much for those of you who have already done so.)
Yesterday, I impatiently waited for my girls to get home from school.
The second they hit the door, I sat them down and gave them an intense lecture that went a little something like this….
“GIRLS, it is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE for you to leave for school with your room in a mess. Your beds are not made. There are clothes in the floor. Trash and toys everywhere. It is a WRECK, and do you know what that tells me? It tells me that you are not responsible enough to have nice things. And if the two of you cannot show me that you can be responsible with your nice things, Mommy and Daddy are going to have to start taking those nice things away. Do you understand me? Now get it that room, and do not come out until it is picked up and looks the way you know it should. Go!”
And then I walked into my room and saw this.
I am praying no one comes and takes my nice things away.
How do you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e?
(P.S. Next week, I’m going to try to allow you to link up with your “Keepin’ It Real” posts. So, this week, be looking to capture those less than glamorous, real life moments!)
Don’t you wish we all had a housekeeper, like every other day?
I love that you are keepin’ it real – don’t you wish more bloggers would do this?!
I don’t think I could keep a housekeeper. The poor lady would never last in this house. But a girl can dream!
Glad to see I am not the only one who has a pile of laundry in their floor.
I’m not even sure if we have carpet in our bedroom. Clothes have been piled on the floor so long, I have forgotten.
Girl, I am FEELIN’ ya!
Oh my gosh. Your room looks clean compared to mine right now. That is too funny! I can’t wait until next weeks link up!
I love this idea Angie. I can definitely relate. I cannot wait to link up with you next week.
Btw, I am your newest follower.
Thanks for commenting, Melanie! And reading!!!
okay, seriously, i should have totally documented last night. cleaned our bathroom…which is by far my least favorite chore. ugh. anyway, made aaron clean out the drain because i couldn’t fit the plug back in it. he got a magnet and seriously pulled out THIRTY hair and gunk covered bobby pins out of that drain. oh, and an earring and a screw. no joke. just keepin’ real! i’m sure another “kir” moment will happen this week and i can link up next thursday!
I can NOT believe you didn’t get a picture!!! There’s always next time. : )
My Bedroom Floor is clean. I shoved everything into the closet and closed the door. Clearly, there is no mess if you can’t see it! Right? Please don’t lift my rugs.
