Life of the Semi Homemaker

The real reason behind my name came from the fact that I work between 36 and 48 hours a week.  Or 3-4 days a week. Day #4 is usually overtime.  Another reason I have named myself this name is that I do the majority of the cleaning while I'm off. Cleaning the kitchen, doing the dishes, doing the laundry and then folding or hanging and then putting away. I do the majority of the cleaning around our 1200 square foot apartment.  It's not that bad... especially when he jumps in every once and again to vacuum and dust. His main thing to keep clean and stink free is his ferret, Nismo. Fortunately, the dustbuster came today. Patrick bought it to keep the cage clean and stink/hair free...thankfully!!! hahaha!!!!! Right now I have a load of clothes drying (they SHOULD be done here shortly) and a load of towels washing. The towels are my last load...thankfully. So, I'm just waiting for both of those loads to finish and I shall be done!!!!! bwahahahahaha!!!!!...

Silly me...VERY silly me.  I had washed several loads of clothes like 3 weeks or so ago. I put off folding/hanging/putting away until, what I promised myself would be the next day. Well that next day was this weekend.  I had mixed clean and dirty together to the point of where my fiance and I had NO clue to what was clean and what was dirty. So to be on the safe side, I rewashed ALL clothes.  And I am glad that I did. Now they are folded/hung and put up where they need to be.  Note to self and others: NEVER let your clothes get like that. Wash them, fold them, hang up the ones that gotta be hung up, and put them away in their correct spots!!!!!!!

I'm waiting 5-6 years before I even have kids of my own. And yes, I know that "accidents" can happen. Almost always does. But I hope that those "accidents" don't happen to me. Why? Because I have several things that I want to do. One of which is go to school for nursing. Another is is that I would like to travel around some before I start popping out babies. I know that last statement is kinda odd, but it's just a phrase that I use. I love kids, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to have any right now. I'm 25 (I'll be 26 this June). I, personally, am not ready for kids. So I will be waiting 5-6 YEARS before considering becoming pregnant. Some people may look down on me and question me on why. Other's may pressure me into having a baby before I am ready for that resonsibility. Like I stated before, I would like to go to school before kids come along. My fiance is supportive of that decision. No one else in either family knows ...

I'm regretting that I ever moved in with my fiance. Why, you ask? The answer is that (1) my mom seems to be taking it a bit hard and (2) there's a chance that she could have breast cancer. Yes...BREAST CANCER!!!!! I feel horrible for not being at home. I feel like I need to move back home with her and be with her right now than in my own apartment being the adult that I need to be. When I was a kid, I didn't really have a care in the world. I could go outside and have fun. My mom took care of all "boo boo's" that I got. She made me feel better when I was sick. Now that I've moved out, all of a sudden it seems like her world is spiraling out of control. Her oldest child (me) has moved out and is getting married. It seems like she's got a bad case of Empty Nest Syndrome. I feel horrible that she's going through it. I know that I need to be the adult that I know I am, but at the same time, I just wanna go back home and be that little kid a...

In order for me, a self titled Semi Homemaker, to keep my apartment clean, I'd have to clean every single day!!! Gah!!!!!!  hahaha....well, cleaning isn't going over so well. I clean at least once a week. Sometimes once every OTHER week. I wash clothes in a random way. I don't have a set day or days of the week to clean and wash clothes and what not.  Do I? I think I do. To keep my sanity anyways. lol!!!  Now I understand why mama ALWAYS...FREAKING...CLEANED!!!!!! A messy house can drive you CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes you wanna go cross eyed. Or at least I feel that way. ha!!! Not sure about other people.  Keeping 1200 square feet clean can be difficult, but once I get it clean, it stays that way for a few days or so. Then it's messy again. Oh well!!! But I am getting the hang of it all. :-D

My mom gave me a kindle fire!!!! So excited right now. For a whilem I didn't want one. I still like my old kindle. It's not quite 5 years old and still does what I want it to do. BUT with the kindle fire, I can get aps on it, which is AWESOME!!! Now I can get on FB and play words with friends (manderin626 if you wanna play!!) and do other things, like listening to music. So I am really enjoying my new toy, all thanks goes to my sweet mama for this AWESOME gift!!!!!!
