I’m the first to admit that I have almost no domestic skills. I hate doing laundry. I hate cleaning the bathroom. And I hate doing dishes every night.

My laundry is probably the hardest thing to keep up with. There have been situations where the underwear and socks came out pink. There have been countless single socks that have no mate. And today my sheets came out with a huge tear along the side of the bottom sheet.

So this afternoon I will be shopping for new sheets.

The phone has been ringing more and the door bell has been used more than normal lately and people are starting to get excited about the holidays that are fast approaching us. My place is normally a pretty busy place, I have a lot of friends that feel comfortable here and tend to come over and stay for as long as it takes and you never know who you are going to find on the sofa in the mornings, but it has become even more hectic and busy around here.

For example, yesterday an old family friends kid (who is 17 now) popped in with his new girlfriend, along with her 2 year old from a previous relationship, and they stayed until way after the baby’s bedtime and I thought that they would never leave. Having a 2 year old in the house is exhausting and I was getting a bit stressed at the end of the evening, it was good seeing him and meeting them but my god they definitely over stayed their welcome. I hate it when that happens, it is just wrong and rude.

Instead of spending the up and coming weekend shopping for presents, I’ve taken care of all of my shopping, I am going to spend my days doing a few house hold chores that have been neglected. The weather is supposed to be cold and wet, so going out and tossing a football around or shooting hoops is out of the question, so inside duties are calling my name and I am reluctantly going to attempt to answer the call. Nothing major but enough to take up most of the week end I imagine.

Hopefully I can find a buddy or two that will come over and lend a hand, having a second set of hands will make the tasks so much easier and I’ve got plenty of beer and munchies to share for the effort. We will blast a few tunes and take care of business and watch the games that are scheduled to air this weekend.
