Random Complaining and thinking

Today is the first day of spring.  It has started out really crappy ...

1st. ~ It is freaking snowing outside.. what the heck is going on?  Isn't winter suppose to be over and the sun is to be shinning....

2nd.~ Today is the official day of the start of spring break.. going back to the weather... with it being so crappy and cold the kids will NOT be able to play outside.. so it looks like inside for 9 days with them.  Unless I get lucky and the weather changes otherwise SHIT...now what

3rd ~ I hit the snooze button today... or at least I thought I did.  I turned off that darn alarm clock instead of snoozing it.  So I fell back asleep .. Woke up at 6:45 ... didn't work out and now I feel like total garbage.  I get up 5 days a week and work out.. now my day feels like crap...

4th ~ Isn't clothes shopping suppose to be a lot of fun.. HA... not this weekend.. I have to take a 9 year old boy shopping...along with his 12 year old sister.  Only to hear him complain on what is taking Cassie so long as she tries on every piece of  clothes the store owns.  But off to Plato's closet we go for her.. since she has become so picky these days and and "ONLY" wear stuff like ambercrombie and fitch or hollister or aeropostle.  I need to head there... a thrift store that only cares high name brands.. LOVE IT>.  Maybe I should leave Dylan home and take him another day...

5th ~ Time to upgrade cell phones.  My contract is up in July and we have decided to stay with TMOBILE.  We all need new phones.. well not necessarily me but if Cassie and Matt are getting new phones.. I am heading for that blackberry....I am not going to feel left out..

Ok.. time to stop complaining and thinking out loud.....

Have a great day everyone!! As I am sure mine has been sent to shit...

The messy room

I have completely and totally decided that my 12 year old daughter is not my child.  How in the world can someone have a room that looks like this.  Now mind you ~ we do chores once a week on Sunday.  They consists of cleaning and vacuuming rooms, cleaning their bathrooms (I refuse to clean that mess) and putting away laundry.  Not to much to ask ~ Right.  It is only ONE day a week.  This is what Cassie's room looks like within 1 day of cleaning.

How hard is it to put away your clothes?  Not that hard right?  Well, I have taught Cassie how to wash her own clothes.  I refuse to wash clothes that are just scattered all over the floor and hanging out her drawers after I spend my time washing them..

And what about straightening up that dresser?  Is it that difficult?  I am debating whether I should do it.  Maybe I need to go in there with a big black garbage bag and through everything away.  Clothes and all....

The there is the issue of the desk. Boy can you imagine your desk looking like this.  I can't imagine mine looking like this.  Oh what, my children share my computer, or used to now that my wonderful husband bought me a laptop, and the desk used to look like crap.  Shit all over the place. 

So here is my dilemia.  Do I let her keep her room this way because it is her room? Or do I make her clean it, or should I say I will, since this is my house and she is "borrowing" that room until she leaves for college?  What or what to decided....

I think I will discuss it with her.  To let her know that she might come home one day to find her room "clean"...AGH the joys of being the boss!!!
