Around the house

The boys got a new video game - I have no idea what it is but my god is it loud - and all the neighbor boys plus My Kid plus Big Daddy are packed in Big Daddy's office playing it because that's where the big screen is.

On the plus side, the housekeepers are coming tomorrow for their first initial clean. The first two cleans are "initial cleans" which means they have to first get the house into some kind of livable condition so that they can then blow through biweekly to clean the bathrooms, dust, and mop the floors. I told Big Daddy, "I'm embarrassed for them to see how filthy this bathroom is [this bathroom here - the one YOU'RE responsible for cleaning b/c apparently you boys pee all over the place even though I'm sure I taught My Kid better than that with the Cheerios and all]." And he said, "I'm not embarrassed. That's why I hired them." Since they'll come during the week when I'm at work I won't ever have to actually face them which is a very good thing b/c I can only just imagine all the apologies that would come spilling out of my mouth. Like, for the Butter-Flavor Pam that My Kid managed to spray all over the kitchen floor. Yeah, you can just imagine the moments of entertainment that has allowed us.

I'll let you know how it looks tomorrow when I get home.

Speaking of tomorrow: Don't forget to watch my friend Gina Neely on "Paula's Party" at 9 p.m. ET on the Food Network Friday night!! Umm, seriously. Because it appears that Paula Deen's gonna deep fry chocolate pound cake.
