Being unemployed means I should clean?

Being newly unemployed I now have the time to do a little housekeeping. Working full time and having three kids running through the house have really taken it's toll on keeping it as pristine as I would like. Sitting at my computer is like being in a fox hole looking out at the enemy, I just have to remember to keep my head low and avoid incoming missiles.

First thing I must do is clean the kitchen, I am behind on my ironing and if I could just figure out where the laundry is I could get started before school lets out.

 
  Then there is the living room, I know I have been so busy all these years and I have slacked off a bit so I better straighten up a little, after all I have company from HBDC coming on June 9th and I want the place to look spiffy.  

                                                                                                                                   
Man does housework suck! Maybe I should just clean around the computer, I mean that is where I spend the most time, you know doing important things like visiting HBDC. I wonder where the batteries to my portable hand held vacuum are?
                                                                      
Now I know I cannot blame everything on having kids, but really they seem to get into everything!
 
Damn I cannot wait to get a job, cleaning house sucks!

LOL! Now how did you get pics of my house.. shame on you for passing them off as yours. The kid though... I do not claim!

I hope you fing a paying job soon!

I think your only hope at this point is to make up some sad story and send it in to Extreme Home Makeover. Shave one of your kids and say they have some kind of bone marrow thing.

Ha! LMBO!

Did Hussy let you take a picture of her kid?

Ha! Oh BTW, I recognized Whataburger cups in "your" living room.

Dang it! Now I'm craving one!

Thanks Etta!

Just kidding! *smile*

Wow, makes me feel better about my place ;)

Sandee June 3, 2009 3:02 PM  

Bwahahahahahaha. I like what you've done with the pictures that have made their way around the Internet. Very well done. I'd say you have a few more days before you really need to clean anything. Bwahahahahaha.

Have a terrific day. :)

That last one is just begging for a caption contest.

Your house doesn't look all that bad. You're being waaay too hard on yourself.

Deb June 3, 2009 9:27 PM  

You've still got the funny, Etta!

I've got a 22-year-old college grad living here - his room looks no different than yours. That is why God created doors with locks.

The 'Sanford and Son' theme song plays softly in the background...

It was only when I saw the picture of the little guy with the bandaide condom that I realized someone hadn't snuck into my apartment in the middle of the night and posted pictorial proof of my domestic inabilities on the 'net:)

On second thought: I wonder if I do that, if I could get money for a mental disability?

My daughter always kept her car looking like a trash can. One night it got broken into. The cops called me. I arrived. They used their flashlights to show me the carnage inside. "Look what some son-of-a-bitch did to her car". I kept my mouth shut because it looked that way BEFORE the break-in.

Holy Crap! That last image is borderline criminal but a keeper! HAHAHAHA.

Skye June 5, 2009 4:03 PM  

Yayyyy! I was allowed in today! *doin' a happy dance :D*

I love these pics, they make me feel like I actually have a neat and tidy house :D

Seriously though, I do hope you manage to find yourself a good paying job soon! Easier said than done, I realize, but I can still wish you the best in your job hunt :)

I think I've read too many blog today. Your gumbys are moving and I have a strange urge to start cleaning my bathroom.

Surveygirl46 June 5, 2009 10:26 PM  

Ok, this has NOTHING to do with this post but upon clicking on your site and seeing gumby and pokie, i often paused to wonder WHY gumby was always rightupnext to pokey, and WHY they called this effeminate little horse POKEY to begin with? Maybe you could research it Etta, and report on what you find out in your next post (also check out WHY gumby has such a HIGH voice) Lay it on the line in your usual sarcastic thoughtfullness! :)

dizzblnd, I am sure there are houses like this, but I swear if anyone believes this is mine is nuts! The kid is priceless.

Douglas Dyer, what a great idea, then I can be featured on the news when I get caught, sell the movie rights and make a fortune.

Quirky! I asked Hussy first! Ha ha ha. Oohh I miss Whataburger! and real mexican food!

Mike, I could help you with your house.

Sandee, I am so glad someone really knows this is not my house I was worried about posting these. Hahahahaha

Chris, I have thought about a caption contest but should I?

Mary@HolyMackeral, ohh you are too kind. Thanks!

Deb, the inspiration was my daughter!

Relax Max, no I did not figure you would.

Moooooog, Sanford and Son, oh noooooo

Lisa, I have seen too many shows where people have the same idea of cleaning, like the hoarders and they do not get money. You may as well clean it up. :)

Dana, That is hilarious!

Out-Numbered, I love that pic. I can just picture a little one doing that too.

Skye, hi girl, I have missed you, and thanks for the good wishes. I have a feeling I am going to need it!

Reforming Geek, share what drugs you got, they sound good! If my Gumbys are moving they are not flash I swear.

Surveygirl46, I have often wondered about that. I may just have to research it.
