Our chest freezer is dying. We've known this day would come, as it's only . . . ummmm . . . at least 40 years old. Yes, that thing is older than I am.But it was free! And we've had it for almost 7 years.Last night, I opened it up to put a few things in, and noticed that the fish my husband had put in the day before were only partially frozen. It … [Read more...]
How to Trick Your Slob
I'm not a fan of Where's Waldo? I don't like those "Find 15 things that are different in these two pictures" type of games. I have hope when I find 6, but lose focus around 8. When someone asks me to go into another room and get the ____, even if they say exactly where it's supposed to be, I totally revert to feeling like a child and panic a … [Read more...]
How People Randomly Find Me
Through Google Analytics, I can see what searches bring people to my site, and also how long they stay once they find me. It's very interesting.Don't worry, I can't see anything about the person who searched, just the search words. So here's a list of some of them, leaving out things like my blog name or Nony the Slob. Declutter. (Makes sense)Kids … [Read more...]

One Reason to Keep Your Master Bedroom Tidy
Prior to working on the dresser, my 3 year old daughter was hanging out with me in my bedroom. As you know, closing drawers is a problem for me. My slob-brain just doesn't register open cabinets or drawers. She was pushing in the drawers on my dresser, and came to that one . . . ahem . . . special drawer. She said, "Mommy, is this YOUR … [Read more...]
The Problem with "Just in Case"
I was watching the Three Stooges a few days ago. (With the kids . . . it's not exactly my show of choice for "me" time.) This episode began with them living in a shack. In the shack, Curly was making some soup, I believe it was tire soup or something equally Stoogish. He was cooking it over a fire in a pot that was under an iron bed frame. You … [Read more...]
Taking the Day Off to Snuggle
I had a post planned for today about how my chore chart has been working with the boys for the last month. I was excited to write it, but alas, mommyhood must take priority as I have a 3 year old with an earache who needs to snuggle. I'll hopefully get it up for next Works for Me Wednesday. A few random questions for my loyal readers, if you … [Read more...]
Laundry Results, A Few Great Links, and Daily Checklist
The first day's results are in on the New Laundry Routine. First, I love not worrying about laundry today. No nagging concern about whether or not my family will have clean undies tomorrow; their drawers are full. Second, I got my normal feeling of frustration this morning wondering what on earth I had to wear today, only to walk into my closet … [Read more...]
A Glimpse Into My Scattered Brain
I went to the garage to get this: And for some reason, returned with these: As in, I walked through almost the entire house, carrying them (much heavier than a broom and quite unwieldy), one in each hand. I then realized that I had no need for them whatsoever and no idea why in the world I was carrying them. Upon returning them to the … [Read more...]
