Woke up when Andrew's alarm went off.
Rolled around until I fell back asleep.
Woke up again when Andrew yelled "FUCK" really loud cuz he was late.
Got a surprise kiss cuz he was, ya know...late.
Fell back asleep.
Woke up randomly.
Looked at the dog, decided we would sleep some more
Fell back asleep.
Woke up at like, noon-ish and decided to be less of a pile.
Fed the dog.
Lolled around on the interwebz.
Actually did become less of a pile cuz I showered.
Went to Starbucks at like, two.
Drank coffee and bummed on the interwebz some more.
Went and picked up Vinny and Dom from schoolz.
And thus begins my epic tale of awesome-ness.
I got home with the kiddos and immediately began to do laundry.
WAIT. WHAT?!
Yes. I cleaned something. That something happened to be some blankets that the dog peed on (that's the real reason I started cleaning...our blankets depended on it.) I figured our sheets could probably use the wash anyway so I stripped the bed and brought e'rrything down stairs to be washed. Started the laundries and went back upstairs to...wait for it...MAKE THE BED. WHAT! Yeah. That totally happened. I didn't take pictures of that though.
Well, once the kids were set up doing something entertaining to a five and six year old, I decided I was tired of the messy floor in the laundry/dog/bathroom so I started to clean it. This led to not only washing the floor but also throwing stuff away and organizing the cupboards within the room. Now it looks all pretty and organized (at least more so than before)
Like I said, it's a laundry room...and a bathroom...and the dog's room when we aren't home. BUT THE FLOOR IS CLEAN!
These usually have lots of stuff on top of them, but not today!
This was COVERED in old laundry soap. I don't know how it happened, but soap would drip out of the containers and make a sticky, soapy layer on everything in the cupboard.
Not anymore though. I cleaned it! *thumbs up*
Also, I didn't by the Oxi Clean, Andrew uses that when he does the laundry. I use the white thing and the blue stuff (all: Free and Clear and Downy: Fresh...something) AND bleach. Bleach is good.
Cupboard above the dryer. Notice, the dryer sheets and iron. I don't have an ironing board. I use the top of that hamper thing you saw in the first picture if I need it. This also doubles as the dog's cupboard. You can see all the nifty dog stuff (like his tooth brush) on the left side. Brilliant.
I was clearly on a roll so I moved on to the kitchen, after all, the childrens needed to eat at some point. This was scary.
I don't even honestly know what half of that stuff even is...
Our kitchen just isn't big enough...*le sigh*
And so I began the arduous task of being a grown up and cleaning stuff. The first step was dishes. Yes, we have a dishwasher, but not all the dishes fit in it. I got as far as I could before I had to breakdown and, dare I say it, wash dishes by hand. I hate doing dishes. Like, for real, I would rather pick up my dog's poop all day than wash dishes. But I did it. I washed the dishes.
This is the sink before I started doing the dishes, but after I started the dishwasher. It's a work in progress...again, my kitchen isn't big enough. :/ blargh
EVIDENCE OF ME DOING THE DISHES. IT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE PEOPLE.
Dishes...eww.
This is where clean dishes go because there's NOOTHERCOUNTERSPACEGODAMMIT. Also I don't have a dish strainer. And by "I don't have a dish strainer" I actually mean "My dish strainer is lost in the bowels of my garage and has been there since January when I moved in..." but more on that at a later date.
...clean dishes...DUH.
So, I obviously cleaned off the counter before doing dishes...I guess I kind of missed that part, but it's all kind of a blur now.
Clean counter YO.
BY THE WAY, if you ever want some kind of miracle cleaner I recommend this stuff:
Seriously, it's magic or something. PLUS it smells awesome. Cucumber or something. I don't know. It's cool. Buy it.
Also, that little dude is Dominic. He's five. He's pretty sweet too. Currently he and Vincent (the six year old) are murdering each other in a video game. Seems legit to me...
Where was I? Oh! The counter has been cleaned, the dishes have been started, the children have been fed and I am still cleaning religiously. Dishes, dishes, dishes and MORE dishes... and then I got to clean more counters...and the dreaded stove. Ick. The stove. There are both pluses and minuses to having a glass cooktop. The pluses are it's flat, so when you clean it there are no crevices to clean. The minuses are it's flat, so everything cooks to it and you have scrape things off it to get it clean.
However, I WON THE WAR AGAINST DIRT! And now my stove is pretty :D
Buster thought he would help a little bit too. Mostly he just got stepped on. But he's really fucking cute, so you know, whatever.
So I cleaned the kitchen and laundry room today, WHILE doing laundry. Multitasking bitches. That's what it's called.
And now I bet you are all DYING to see my clean kitchen in its entirety, aren't you? Well, luckily I documented it with pictures. Winning. Here it is in all it's clean glory y'all.
It's a counter, if you couldn't tell by it's label. The background counter is supposed to look like that, don't worry. Remember how I don't have a big enough kitchen?
This is that corner...I know, it looks messy, but it's actually clean, just full of stuff...cuz my kitchen is, well...you know.
I'm thawing chicken in the sink, but it's really really clean :D (and shiny...)
'member that time I told you all that I'm addicted to coffee? I wasn't kidding. This is my espresso machine, on it's clean counter!
That drink there? Yeah, it's a vodka cranberry. I feel like I deserved it.
So, that is my evening in a nutshell. And now I'm sitting here with my love and the kidlets. They're, like I said, murdering each other. See:
Yeah, the vodka cranberry followed me to the living room. Clearly I have to clean that next.
It is completely necessary for them to be THAT close to the GIANT TV
Delicious :P
So, what's next? Well, this:
Believe it or not, these are clean, just not folded. That and this:
...are my next cleaning task. And the living room.
*Sigh* Cleaning cleaning cleaning. That's what I'm gonna be doing. Woot.
While everyone else is doing finals and stuff, I'm gonna be vacuuming and scrubbing and all that jazz.
On the plus side, I kind of what to make a roast tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. ;)
Until later my friends, here is a video of Dom and Vinny being crazy ninjas playing video games
Oh, I forgot to mention my really sweet sunburn from the dog park yesterday...that's what this is...and, you know, my butt. 'Sup. 
PEACE.
