In the few "free" days I get, sometimes the stars align just right and I can do chores AND watch my backed up DVR. Two of my fav shoes are Hotel Impossible (Love ya Anthony!), Long Island Medium and Gypsy Sisters. Now, when I say free days, I mean those rare Tuesday or Thursday hours between 930 and 240 when all kids are at school.....and I don't have 8 million errands to run. The rare days when all my chores can be done at home. Laundry, always. Mop, sometimes I can get there. Fixing something that broke, yep. When I can actually fold and watch I go through my stored up shows. The best one, deadliest catch I have to wait for D. Don't think he'd forgive me for that.
On to the Sisters. I do watch Big fat gypsy wedding and big fat American gypsy wedding too, but there are more episodes of gypsy sisters. I have a HUGE question for all you gypsies: WHAT IS YOUR NORMAL SCHEDULE, REALLY?!?! Alot of the show is drama, gossip, clothes, fashion, Mellie's issues, and stuff like that. Some of the show is gypsy traditions, superstitions, etc. Now, as a stay at home mom I am wondering when in the hell they get time to do the stuff I see on the show. I only have 4 kids and two dogs. And I am swamped. These ladies have more kids than I, house other people and their kids sometimes. I understand that the girls clean. Got that. And several times on the show I have heard the "matriarchs" say something along the lines of...we get up and clean top to bottom. And also... what normal people think of spring cleaning we do everyday. HUH? I've seen them clean here and there, do laundry here and there. Y'all, from the moment I wake up I am cleaning, switching loads, dishes, cooking, wiping up messes, etc. Sometimes I get to nap with the boys, but not everyday. And I'm not quite sure how much more I could get done in that hour that I'm not doing already. Spring cleaning takes me more than one hour. So... everyday y'all get up do normal everyday cleaning, and also spring cleaning?! Wipe down fridges between diaper changes then dust the ceiling fans before cooking breakfast or before lunch?! I'd like to know...really. You get this all done before meeting for lunch out somewhere and still had time to fix hair and makeup? I WANT A COPY OF YOUR CLEANING SCHEDULE LADIES. REALLY REALLY I DO. If nothing else than to try it for one day. I think my bedroom gets vacuumed once a week if that. (Shame on me, I know). So...how do you do it? And when I see you sit on your living room floor blinging something out (in what looks like early evening) with NO KIDS AROUND, I'm wondering where's your 9 kids? If I even thought about doing stuff like that in the middle of my living room before 845pm I would have to fight off little ones from messing with the stuff, or worse playing with the plugged in hot glue gun. No, I didn't see any little people messing with stuff they aren't supposed to. And this blog is in no way criticising the way the culture is. I'm thoroughly in shock if these ladies pull off everyday cleaning, spring type cleaning, all laundry, cooking etc in one whole day...everyday. Much less being done in time to get all dressed up to go to lunch or go get their nails done. Jealous by the way. Not that the hubby wouldn't let me get them done every week, but that we don't have the money for that. :)
Ladies...I want a copy of your daily schedule pronto!
