Update to the messy

I know you're all waiting with bated breath for the update to what my minions did in terms of housework yesterday.  All right hold your wads, I'll tell...

Amanda did the dishes while Brandon picked up the living room - not a spotless home by any means, but much cleaner than before.  What impressed me the most was the fact that they negotiated with each other as to who would do what, and all was fair. 

It's hard to believe that the two who were being shithead haters to each other just a couple weeks ago, worked like a cloned Cinderella and got shit done.  Without anyone dying. 

Now if I could just get them to go to work for me...

Doesn't it suck to come home to a messy house. Loved this post. I hate working when the kiddos are off for the summer...guilt!

btw - love your posts. They are real.

~Absolutely Ms. Scots Lass, baby steps for sure. I'm happy for even the little bits.

~Hit It, yes it does suck to come home to a messy house! But school is starting soon which means less time for the monsters at home during the day to mess things up. And thank you for the compliment!

Brilliant manipulation tactics. I'll try them on my dog, he messes the flat up pretty damn well. If I couls only teach him how the hoover works... or brush his own fur. Which one gives me bigger success rate?
