Times are really tough and I have been looking for work for a while but I really want something that is gratifying,,, Nothing like asking for everything.
I have tried the baking soda and vinegar and it did clean the drains but I think is further down the drain. My dad just bought a electrical snake extra long so I am going to try that tomorrow and pray that it works.
My house is a mess partially because my family refuses to put things away where they belong. I need my husbands help becuase he and my son put not needed furniture in my living room and I can not move it myself. They use my living room to to store large items until they find a use for it. It is very frustrating. The other is I have cats that shed and becuase I have lost ctas to coyotes I no longer allow them to go outside and people always bring their kittens to me to bottle feed and take care of but since the economy went belly up I was unable to place these babies and ended up keeping them.
Fridge needs to be replaced evenually and I have been looking at vaccums, just not sure which one to buy...
I have started to go green but any info you would like to share would be welcomed.
Thanks. |
One more thing I wanted to add, I know this sounds awful, but DEMAND help... don't just ask and when it's not received feel defeated. Give each member a chore and make sure they do it. I know sometimes it seems easier to just do it yourself than to have to follow up with another person, but you have to do that.
I have my 2 boyfriend's kids, boys and they are total slobby teenagers, but I put my foot down and give them chores to do and I follow up to make sure they are done right. Its a struggle but in 2 years they've come a good ways (still got a ways to go) and I started throwing away their things (or hiding the important stuff until they are looking like crazy for it) when they leave them hanging out. This has taught them to put their stuff in their room and not clutter up every surface in the kitchen and computer desk.
Good Luck! Having a house full of kids and pets IS overwhelming for sure!!! You need to get your hubby on your side also, talk to him to help you with getting the kids to help out and even himself to help out.
