Exhausting

Today was a nice relaxing day after yesterday. Yesterday I got up early and started cleaning house right away. I deep cleaned hoping to be able to get it looking REALLY good then take pictures this morning. I spent probably about an hour cleaning before Jen got up then about an hour cleaning inside (with her sitting in the chair just watching me) before she decided to go outside and mess around with the hedge trimmers. Well 4 hours later I'm still elbow deep in juniper while she's just messing around with the rake...how did that happen?!

We ended up getting the front looking pretty good. I trimmed the juniper WAY back and the tree by the house way back at well. I also hosed off the front porch and front of the house and it just looks SO much brighter now!

After I finished outside I came back inside and finished working on the bathroom, hoping that maybe Jen would go in the kitchen and start cleaning since I'd already done everything else. Nope. She sat on her bed talking to her mom for almost an hour while finished the bathroom and started the kitchen. She came out mid kitchen cleaning and just looked at what I was doing and went in and watched TV. What the heck?! When we moved here we had this big long discussion about how we'd HAVE to do all the house work on the weekends, we couldn't let ANYTHING slide and she agreed!

Fast forward to this evening. Jen wants to wash her hair in the sink but won't do it in the kitchen sink because there are dishes in there. HELLO? Do them! I did them all yesterday. Yes, I admit she did some dishes on Friday but that does not absolve her from the rest of the household duties! Yeah, I'm mad. She uses dishes too, she leaves her crap in the living room too. We've lived here over a month has she even once swept or vacuumed? NO. Not even her room. I don't know what to do.
