You’re really not helping
Just this morning I told you that my cooktop was clean. No longer true. We are having a garage sale tomorrow so my plan was to cook up some sloppy joes today and just put them in the slow cooker tomorrow.
In her effort ‘help me out’ and to keep her daughter busy, my sister said they would fry up the ground beef. Great, I always welcome a little help.
I have to tell you I cringed when I saw the grease splattering on my freshly cleaned cooktop. And I admit a little noise from me made her question what was wrong. I said ‘oh I worked so hard getting that clean last night.’ She says ‘oh sorry.’
They do a great job cooking, cleaning…not so much. So, here it is again.
I couldn’t get the pictures to capture how really dirty it is.
Yes, we were raised by the same mother.
Update on the dirty stove
As you may recall, I’ve been waiting to see how long it takes my sister to clean up a mess she made. We will really never know. Last night she made dinner. And in my house the person who cooks for the rest of the house (as opposed to just for themselves) does not have to clean up the dinner mess. Well, you know that I’m not going to clean everything and not that stove. So, with my glass top cleaner and my handy dandy Scotch Brite pad (yes this really works), and a razor blade I was able to get it pretty clean. If you look hard you can still see some stains. I swear the worst thing that can happen to these glass tops it boiling water. It’s the biggest mess I’ve ever seen. Geez!!
I’d never be 20 again!
Please tell me I wasn’t as stupid as some of the people I see on the mommy boards. The more I read, the more I’m convinced that men only marry so someone will take care of them and their kids. There are so many young moms who complain about their "DH" (God I hate that – DH…whatever) does nothing but drink with his friends and play xbox. You thought married life would be peaches and cream? It sucks, it’s not fair, especially if you have kids. Start putting money away now, you’ll need it later when you finally decide to leave.
There is another mom who just kills me. "I’m a single mom living with my parents; I don’t work; I go to school; they babysit for free; they feed me [most likely pay for everything since she doesn't work] and it’s not fair the way they talk to my daughter ‘if you don’t eat it I will’ then she is so generous she gives it to them. They make her color big bird yellow instead of purple. [the horror!] I’m so glad to have this board because I know you guys don’t judge me."
Yeah, I’m not judging you you spoiled, lazy bitch. Wait until you have to start paying for food, clothes, gas, and a babysitter who doesn’t LOVE your daughter, then you’ll have something to complain about.
