Why Barry didn't want to move here...pics below.

Yes, I'm a month behind in posting pics again. The twins and my other duties around the house take up so much time. By the time I want to post on the blog, Barry is playing on the computer or watching old TV episodes on the computer, that stinker. So today I talked him into being me for the day and watching all the kids and doing my chores so I can get caught up on pics. Let's see, we have been to the beach, to Eugene to visit with the girl's other grandparents and Barry's family, Halloween activities, and the girls have turned 6 months old too. I have pics of them with their big bear. They are so cute and can do more things now. Like holding their own bottles to drink, rolling all around the floor, trying to get up on their hands and knees, laughing out loud at funny things, and sleeping through the night (mostly Brenna...Chantrell gets up after 4 or 5 hours and crys for baba and a clean diaper). Here are the pictures. Enjoy!!

OOPS!! These are not the "enjoy" pictures I was talking about. These are from a month ago. Mom always asks what I am doing in the kitchen for hours in the morning instead of helping her. I tell her about Tiffany and all her messes around the house. She acts like only she and her kids live here and she can leave it a big mess and clean it later. However, later never comes and Barry and I end up cleaning after her. She is not setting a good example for her kids. It is very frustrating to wake up each day to a big mess. We don't want to leave it for grandpa to see. He spends all week at work and doesn't need to clean up after anyone. OH WELL!! Barry told me before we moved here that I would be the babysitter and maid for everyone. Maybe Tiffy and Adam and the kids will move out next year. We can only hope. I think that we will be ready to move out when the twins turn one and can go to daycare. I'm ready to teach again and make some money.A sink full of dishes to wash every morning. Barry and I clean the kitchen at night and when we wake up, here is what waits for us.This is looking into her disgusting room that she, Adam, and the boys all share. If Tiffy knew that these pics were on my blog she would be pretty mad at me. But, I don't think that she really cares who looks at her room or else she would clean it up.The giant tower of clean clothes to put away. She never goes through any of the clothes to see what fits the kids anymore. She is a packrat like mom and dad. Barry won't let me live like this. He is the total opposite and is a clean freak. I like it better than tripping all over things and having to make a pathway on the floor just to get to the bed.The tower of broken plastic drawers full of junk that the kids go through. She has enough socks without partners to fill two drawers. I can never find two matching socks when I help dress the boys in the morning. That is my biggest pet peeve.

Her disgusting and smelly bathroom. There is cat poo in there from I don't know how long ago. Every surface has junk on it and the kids smear toothpaste all of the counter and the mirror on a daily basis. Another view of the bathroom. Don't worry, this is not the guest bathroom. Only she uses this bathroom. Even the kids don't like to use this bathroom. They say it stinks and is too dirty to take a bath in. You would think that she would get the hint to clean it up once in awhile.This is messy Rhiannon's room, A.K.A., mom's computer room. Poor mom gets so frustrated that she can't get into her room to print things on the computer or look for books that she wants to read. Nan has learned from her mom how to live like a piggy.Another view of where Nan sleeps. She says that she has lots of fun in there playing toys, listening to her radio, reading books, and playing on the computer. She has her friends come over to spend the night and she doesn't even care about how messy her room is.This is how the laundry room looks on a daily basis. Usually the stack of clean clothes is higher and the washer and dryer are always full of her clothes. Barry and I have to wait in line to get our two loads of laundry done each week. Tiffany is drowning in clean and dirty clothes. She just can't get a handle on how to stay ahead of all the messes. Anyone have any good ideas or suggestions for her?? We have talked to her until we are blue in the face. I think that we have given up and just deal with the mess.
