On Messiness, The Tudors and a Fashion Show

[WriterGal]

So I woke up this morning to find several of Tom's soda cans scattered around. Plus a paper plate with crumbs all over it sitting beside the keyboard. Plus his clothes balled up in a messy pile on the living room floor. Then when I went to use the bathroom I discovered Tom had used the last of the toilet paper and hadn't bothered to replace it.

I gathered all of the trash and dumped it on his place on the couch.

Then I wrote him an angry letter: "I am sick of seeing all your trash around the house. You're a grown man. Act like it!"

With my luck he'll eye the trash and sit elsewhere.

If he tries that then I'll still jump down his throat. Honestly. He's 25. I can't believe he still does this.

Sometimes he's all, "You're not the neatest person either."

This is true.

But I always throw my trash away.

Yes sometimes the mail piles up on the counter and ends up messily scattered.

But, well, I have two kids I have to deal with.

Sometimes I get distracted.

What's Tom's excuse? He's up during the night without the distraction of children. He can do whatever he wants. He can laze on the couch and watch television--WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. He can stay as long as he wants on the computer.

I envy him. What I would give for all that quiet free time.

Last night I was able to watch the season premiere of The Tudors. (With interruption of course. Natalie is still doing the pull up on her crib and scream thing. Thank goodness for pause.)

Anne got herself in a hissy because the King's wife was still sewing his shirts.

She stomped into his room and went into this huge tirade.

So Henry banished his wife, Queen Katherine, to another castle.

Oh and some dude was boiled alive.

*Shudders*

Then at the end it showed snippets of episodes to come. It shows the rise of Anne--becoming Queen--and her downfall.

In once scene she asked, "Will you be coming to my bed tonight?" and Henry shakes his head.

It should be an excellent season.

I have a mini fashion show with Natalie.

Not amused with the matching jacket.

And here she is in her dress that withaugust helped me get. (Thank you again!) They didn't have size 12-18 in our TJ Maxx so withaugust sent me the proper size. A really good price too. I think the dress was like $14.99 or something?

Please excuse the mess in the background. I had pulled all the rugs out of Tommy's bathroom and was deep cleaning it. And you see that cradle? That was MY cradle as a baby. I loved it. Natalie HATED it. If I dared put her in there she's SCREAM at the top of her lungs. Oh well. Now it's just a decoration piece. When she's older maybe she'll put her dolls in there.

Annddd..she's pissed..
