Something I Stole from Jen who stole from someone else

1. Do you cook every night?

i try to cook as much as possible. We usually buy food for dinner for the week Sunday through Thursday. We usually end up eating out on of those days anyway. Lunches are usually super simple like mac and cheese or sandwhiches. Or the ever loving Hot Pockets. Weekend lunches are usually grilled cheese, subs or salads. Breakfast on the weekends is a must for us. Usually pancakes, bacon or eggs on Saturday and our usual biscuits and sausage gravy on sundays. Coffee is a must.


2. What kind of laundry detergent do you use & why?
Oxy Clean free. It is the only thing to take out chocolate milk and strawberry stains and the only thing that works with Dave's work clothes. Plus it doesnt break us out.


3. Do you do laundry every day or loads at a time?

Sundays i will do 2 loads, then Wednesday a refresher load. Every other week I have to do an additional one or two loads for sheets, etc


4. How often do you eat out per week?
it's a tradition to go out Friday nights. Sometimes we go out Saturdays but it may just be fast food. We use to go out with our friends Brooke and Klee on Monday nights to Fox and Hound's but service there sucks so we quit going.

5. Where do you usually eat out?

usually somewhere kid friendly. Jameson is a super picky eater. Pizza, chicken fingers and grilled cheese are pretty much all he eats. Some fruit, yogurt and stuff like pancakes are safe bets. Zaxby's is a favorite cause we all love it. Pizza works. We have Felleni's and St. Angelo's here which makes an amazing pizza. I adore chinese food so we have a buffett 2 minutes away from our place that we all like.


6. What is your favorite retail store?

Target. And we have a superTarget like 10 minutes from my place. Yeah it's ON.


7. What’s your favorite thing to drink?

Coke Zero, Diet Rootbeer, Diet Sweet Tea and of course, Bailey's.


8. Do you take vitamins?
a B-12 vitamin and sometimes a SpongeBob multi-vitamin.

9. What percentage of the household chores do you do?
80% Dave does trash and mopping. I do the rest.


10. Do your children do chores? (Or will they, did they, etc).
Oh yes he will. He is going to do chores and have responsibilities just like anyone else. He already cleans up his own toys and room and he throws his own trash away.

11. Do you go to church?

(crickets chirping) Nope.

12. Do you have a housework schedule?

Nope. Just like to keep it clean. If something is messy or dirty one day I clean it. I am pretty uptight about my kitchen though. So i clean that everyday.


13. Do you keep a working budget?
we need one. we gotta work on that.


14. What do you do at night as a family?

we have dinner as a family every night. hang out watch TV, play with Jameson. Bath time is Jameson's and Dave's bonding time. We both put Jameson to bed and then we spend time together- watch Tv, talk, cuddle, etc


15. How do you prepare yourself for a new week?
I wing it.


16. What do your mornings look like?

I hate mornings. I like early afternoons.


17. What time do you get up in the mornings?
when Jameson wakes up- usually around 8:30-9:30. Then we hang out and watch some Tv and i 95% fall back asleep. He wakes me up if I need to change the channel or when he's done watching TV. He sometimes goes back to sleep with me too.

18. What time do you go to bed at night?
around 4am or so.

19. How do you manage all of the paperwork that floods into your household? (bills, school work, magazines, ads, etc)

I have a little wicker basket where bills go. I keep them all memorized by date in my head, seriously, but they stay in the wicker basket till they get paid then they get shredded. Most bills are emailed to me so i keep a file of paid bills on my email.
we don't get mags and ads go to the trash. See? I am kinda organized!

20. How do you keep your household organized? (calendars, charts, etc.)

When my Iphone wasn't a mere paperweight I had everything (set to alarms) to tell me when this bill was due or when this party was. The calender was my friend.
Now? I still can't find my Kate Spade planner. And it's probably staying that way. I'm not too much into lists (unless it for the grocery store but hey i buy whatever shit i want anyway so i digress).
