...the kids ask if it's all right that they've collected some dead bugs to fish with and those bugs were discovered inside, not out.
...you go to serve up lunch and find you've still got breakfast dishes on the table.
...you wake up your 4 yr. old son in the middle of the night to do his tinkles (cause there's a pretty big chance you'll be washing bedding again if you don't) and he's too tired to aim straight.
...the couch and master bedroom are filled to the brim with laundry and you've decided to throw in the towel and call it "home decor" and "who needs a dresser anyway?"
A warning. If you do by chance tackle any or all of these projects be prepared for snide comments from your husband like, "Honey, we've been robbed. Funny thing though, they only took the clothes."
Welcome to the Greer home and...happy Friday!

I'm laughing about the laundry...and Josh's comment.
My bedroom usually has a mountain of clean laundry. Shhh...don't tell anyone, though, because I always make sure the door is shut when we have company.
What a great post. The only thing I would add is:
...you go to serve up lunch and find you've still got breakfast, LUNCH, and DINNER dishes on the table FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY.
This does happen in my house I am ashamed to say every once in a while...Tanner might say more often though. ;-)
Cherylyn, I'm pretty sure we've experienced that as well...I just wasn't going to admit it!
So glad to hear that someone else's house looks the same as mine!
Ha ha ha! "We've been robbed?" Don't tell Barrett that one. He might start using it on me.
laundry is the kicker, we're at school too much to actually make our little apartment too dirty! So i'm watching a show on tv about alien sightings and there's a TON in arizona! You better watch out...and always keep your camera close! The show made me think of you!
You're hilarious!
I thought you were going to say that when you take your child potty in the night you trip over things 5 times on your way out of their room and into the bathroom. So funny- I can definetly relate.
HA, ha, ha, ha! All I can can say is that's exactly how it is around here! And today I can add, "When the toilet is clogged from your 3 yr old and you are waiting for your hubbie to get home to unclog it."
Too too funny! Let me add, when your crockpot has been "soaking" in the sink for 2 days straight and you can't bring yourself to scrub it out.
Ha Ha Ha! That laundry is a kicker! I love the Greer home!
Ha ha, so funny, only cause it sounds like my house right now. I'm looking at 2 baskets of laundrey as I type. Maybe I should fold them, and put them away....naaa!
Laundry. Where does it all come from. I feel like we always have a basket or two to fold. And dishes, yikes. I usually have a sink full at all times. Ugh house work.
Your house must be my home away from home. And if Josh really told you the laundry had been robbed, he's in big trouble. When Bryan complains, I remind him that he has two hands that work just like mine. Husbands don't usually see it that way!
Love it, Amy. Sometimes I really wish our clothes would get stolen so I wouldn't have to fold laundry. Ha ha.
That's so scary Ellie got lost! That's the worst feeling ever for a mom...I'm so glad you weren't there.
So Scaary about Ellie. I am so glad you only heard about it after everything was alright.
oh so funny! there is not one mommy that cant relate to that! its all for the sacrifice to spend more time with the kids..right??!!
Ok. I just spent the last like 30 minutes reading your posts (I'm way behind on reading blogs these days). But you absolutely kill me. I wish I had just an ounce of your creative writing and subtle sarcasm. Love it! And btw - I long ago considered laundry as the new home decor trend... didn't I send you that memo? can't you guys get a job here in KY... I think we could become great friends. ;)
Amy, I thought you were posting about MY house!!!! The pathetic thing is that I had my house spotless before our vacation and now it is an absolute mess!!! Why does it take 3 days to clean it but it can be destroyed in 3 minutes? And why is it that nobody visits when your house is clean but right when you have laundry all over, toys on the ground, and dishes in the sink, you have visitors?! Those are my frustrations.
melissa, find us a job in KY and we're there! i could use a change in scenery...literally. i can't even bring myself to get out fall decorations for all the sweat i'd pour over the chore. gotta love AZ right?
we need to plan haigler together some time. that'd be a hoot!
