1. Do you cook every night?
I try to. If Hubby is home it is YES. If it is just me and the youngen's well then it is praying for left overs or sandwiches.
2. What kind of laundry detergent do you use & why? We are currently using a homemade laundry soap and Costco brand softener mixed with vinegar for most loads. I also have Costco brand HE soap that I found I had to buy when Hubby's work clothes still stank even after washing. Can't have that!
3. Do you do laundry every day or loads at a time? I would love to say we do it daily and it is all nice and put away... but that would be a lie. My usual method is when the kids announce "Mom, we have NO undies or clean shorts to wear and xyz starts in 2 hours!!!" only then do I grab stuff and do a load. Otherwise it is when I can't find the laundry room floor and then an all day laundry fest ensues. Hubby has asked that this be stopped so I am working on it.
4. How often do you eat out per week? hmmm, it is Monday and we already ate out today. Some weeks it is A LOT. Some weeks never. depends on if we are in town, if I am sick, or if we are out running errands.
5. Where do you usually eat out? Chili's, fast food places, Cracker Barrel (if in the city)
6. What is your favorite retail store? Eddie Bauer. the online store that is. I am 5'10 and they carry clothes that are modest and fit me!
7. What's your favorite thing to drink? everyday- Coke. if we have it or I am pregnant- chocolate milk from Braum's
8. Do you take vitamins? What kind? when I remember! whole food prenatals from the health store
9. What percentage of the household chores to you do? depends on the day and if the children are 'helping'
10. Do your children do chores? {Or will they, did they, etc} yes, they clean their rooms, do the dishes, pick up the living room, put away their own laundry, tidy their bathroom
11. Do you go to church? yes, we go to '2nd service' but starting this weekend we will be there for both services to help out at the front kiosk
12. Do you have a housework schedule? NO
13. Do you keep a working budget? I should say "yes" since we did Financial Peace University last spring. BUT we slacked off big time this summer. Hubby just sat down yesterday and made a new one. We have so many 'projects' around the house we need to start saving and get to it.
14. What do you do at night as a family? we watch movies on Netflix or just sit and talk. Tonight Hubby has out the new microscope and is teaching the kids about what skin cells.
15. How do you prepare yourself for a new week? hahaha! I don't!
16. What do your mornings look like? crawl out of bed, eat, watch the children do their school on the computers, maybe some chores
17. What time do you get up in the mornings? whenever I can wake up finally. Sometimes it is 6am when Hubby leaves... Most times it is 8-9:30
18. What time do you go to bed at night? I am in bed with Hubby when he goes to bed. Once he is asleep I may be online or watch a movie. I am a night owl and fall asleep around 1am.
19. How do you manage all of the paperwork that floods into your household? {bills, school work, magazines, ads, etc} the wonderful 'pile it' method.
20. How do you keep your household organized? {calendars, charts, etc} *snort* I don't :/
After writing this out I am seeing an aweful pattern! I need and I mean *NEED* to get organzied!!
