I will say MH usually accomplishes things when I leave him a list. I just don't want to always be a list master either! (He also does almost 100% of outdoor work and for that I am grateful...)
I keep meaning to make a master chore list and laminate it so that everything that theoretically should be done during the week gets done... that way SO could just do a couple things off of that instead of leaving specific lists every time.
This is a great idea. MH and I could turn it into a contest...we turn everything into a contest, ha! But whatever works...
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
Apparently I am married to all of you. I am perfectly capable of sitting around doing "nothing" without lifting a finger to clean. There are at least 2 glasses of water on my nightstand bc I fix one to bring upstairs each night and seldom remember to carry them down. My stuff is always wherever I last left it, which does not correspond at all to where it belongs.
H is totally the opposite. I make him twitch.
OMG yes. I was waiting for someone else to comment lol. I'm over here like "Oh man I am so messy and DH cleans 80% of the time". He finally told me I had to put my laundry away after I just kept piling on my dresser for two months. I drive him crazy. I am getting better but I am definitely queen of doing nothing!
See this is my issue...I'm not neat or organized by nature either. I force myself so we have some semblance of clean. H goes on cleaning tears once every couple of months. But he forgets that keeping up with it a little each day would make everything so much better. And definitely don't complain to me if you're not happy with the state of the place.

PirateCat, it doesn't always itch for me and can be just one isolated spot. I got one spot on my eyelid when I was KU with DS and it's come and gone on my face since then. Psoriasis will flake.

Boo I was supposed to go to dinner with a friend visiting this week and we were going to a gorgeous waterfront spot to enjoy this awesome weather...and she just had to cancel bc she's hungover from going out last night hahahah. But I'm so bummed, I've been looking forward to it all week! Guess I'll have to have a glass of wine on the boat home to make up for it.

I know people have asked about my recent knitting projects and I can finally share! (Looking at you PirateCat)
Left are a couple blankets and hats for some b/g twins, right is a blanket and hats for another little baby boy who hasn't made his appearance yet. (So so happy I beat his arrival)
rablissful, I love them! You are a knitting machine. I am a slow knitter and have a policy that only family members get blankets. I don't know what I would do if anyone in my family were to have twins. Those hats are adorable.

Thank you
Easy, easily memorable patterns are key. That and I have no life and just sit in front of the tv and knit.
The next project on deck is going to take me a bit longer because it's a lace pattern. Luckily school is almost over and I'll have more time.
ETA these blankets were smaller too. Only car seat sized. (About 23" x 35")
ironbaby and TheEleventhHour - I'm also the messy one. I try to contain my worst clutter to my side of the bedroom, and I have taken on several tasks that are mine - I clean the kitchen/dishes (mostly because I'm weirdly anal about how the dishwasher is loaded) and I make the bed every morning. Basically, if I have a few discrete areas that I am in charge of, it helps me get them done (esp. since I do feel bad that I drag DH down). The balance of housework has shifted a bit with DH being out of work, but once he's working again we'll go back to each having our own tasks.
FFTC: The entire time DH and I were dating, he only came into my house one time because it was so messy that I was embarrassed for him to see it. I did tell him many times that I was messy, and that I was afraid he'd break up with me if he saw my house.
My body hated me this morning Too. Much. Wine. last night. Nothing a large cup of coffee and Advil couldn't handle. Today's my "in office" day (I WFH 4 day a week) so I'm trying to get a lot done.
I keep meaning to make a master chore list and laminate it so that everything that theoretically should be done during the week gets done... that way SO could just do a couple things off of that instead of leaving specific lists every time.
This is a great idea. MH and I could turn it into a contest...we turn everything into a contest, ha! But whatever works...
We once set up a reward system. It used chocolate as a reward. We ended up eating all the chocolate without doing any chores, whomp whomp. It is one of my life goals to keep my house clean enough to not be embarrassed if someone unexpectedly popped over. It's a goal I have yet to fulfill, sigh.
smores, absolutely no unexpected guests allowed at my house. But yea, that is also one of my life goals, but one I probably won't achieve until I am retired or can afford a housekeeper.

I'm with you and smores on this...we make people hang outside of they "pop by" (very rarely happens anyway). I think I need to throw half our shit away, get a bigger house, and get a housekeeper if I ever hope to have an "open house" policy!

DD is the worst. I just ordered a macchiato with an extra shot of espresso and got a regular latte instead. I'm missing like two shots of espresso that I paid extra for! They left over an inch of room at the top too. So annoying. I really needed those extra shots too.

I once ordered a latte at DD and got a black coffee. The woman was like you didn't ask for milk. WHAT.
Um I found the Polar limited edition summer flavors at the grocery store today ... you are obsessed with me too right onesweetworld ?! I am currently drinking Raspberry Pink Lemonade. I also bought Tangerine Lime, Pomegranate Sangria, Mango Berry, and Watermelon Margarita. Yes please.

Apparently I am married to all of you. I am perfectly capable of sitting around doing "nothing" without lifting a finger to clean. There are at least 2 glasses of water on my nightstand bc I fix one to bring upstairs each night and seldom remember to carry them down. My stuff is always wherever I last left it, which does not correspond at all to where it belongs.
H is totally the opposite. I make him twitch.
This is my marriage. I'm perfectly content sitting my ass on the couch while he cleans. I will do the dishes late at night or when I feel like doing things. I clean before people come over - otherwise I could give a shit.

Haha. I guess she needed step by step instructions. Like do you need me to tell you to put it in a cup too?

Totally Twins! I need to put my laundry away but it's so much work and I'm just going to wear it again anyways...
