It's a good thing I'm not a housewife...

Bad: There are dishes from over a week ago just sitting in our dishwasher, which has not been run off. Of course since we're waiting until we have a full load to run it, it's not all bad, right? Also more than half of my shoes are downstairs. And all of the clothes I took to Indy are dumped in a big pile in our living room since Keegan needed the suitcase for his conference in Charlotte this past weekend. Dirty clothes from Indy. All of our mail from this year pretty much is piled up in our kitchen. Let's hope we managed to dig all of the bills out...

Worse: I finally did a load of my laundry (seriously I think my first load this month) on Sunday and instead of taking the clothes out and putting them away I've been taking what I need from the dryer and just leaving the rest in there. If you see me in ridiculously wrinkled clothes, this is why. Sidenote: the last time I did laundry I just dumped it on the floor when it was done because I was exhausted and not in the mood to hang it up. So now dirty and clean clothes are all mixing together on the floor and I have my own creative solutions for determining if I've worn a certain article of clothing or not.

Worst: The tub in the bathroom I use became clogged at the end of JANUARY folks. Until last weekend I just took all my showers in Keegan's bathroom because we didn't have any Liquid Plumber. Finally, after a good two months when we finally remembered to buy some, I am back in my own shower. Which really needs to be cleaned now because when the drain was clogged the nasty water was all stagnate in there for a while as it veerrrrry slooooowly trickled down the pipes. Ick.

We used to eat dinner every night at the table that I set with a nice (somewhat) balanced meal, the dishes would never pile up so much, and I cleaned the bathrooms at least once a month (tubs and everything!). I would hang up my clothes after I washed them and I didn't wear things off the floor. Grad school has made me realize what's actually important in life ;-)
