Call of Duty MW2

*points to title* I’ve been playing that game entiely too much lately but I love it. Granted, I suck. I will admit i’m the kind of person who goes 7 and 40 sometimes but I don’t care. I have fun and since I play with my husband, his best friend Corey (like a brother to me), my brother, and a friend/his brother, we all form teams and have a lot of fun. We do a lot of mosh pit and headquarters. I changed my display name to something not girl centered b/c I got sick of the guys making snide comments towards me online, although I had 5 of my guys jumping down their throats when they did (My brother especially, he got FURIOUS). If you play feel free to add me on Steam as silvergirl0007. We also do a bit of Nazi Zombies on CoD: WaW if you’re interested in that. Ok, enough game rambling.

I scheduled Gracie’s Christmas pictures for The 14th of Dec I think. We were going to do family pictures but the coupon allows 1 subject and we’re tight on money right now so I’d rather get hers and wait on the family pics. Speaking of money tightness, Randy’s hours are cut at work. He went from 6 days a week with mostly 12.5 hour shifts to this week he worked 4 days of 8 hour shifts. *whine* The only reason is because the cool whip department is down for 3-5 weeks so people in that department are coming to lunch-ables if they don’t want to be laid off so less work to do. They also have one of their lines down so that further limits hours. Next month should be a lot better. We did get a Christmas package from the company though which had a lot of meat, a Digiornio pizza, and 12 huge containers of cool whip. Anyone need some? LOL. For the record, he works at the Kraft factory doing both lunch-able placing and sanitation depending on the day.

Newfound love for cleaning

I’ve been very into cleaning lately and I’m not sure whether it’s a nesting thing or it’s because this apartment is mine. At my mother’s house I dreaded it but I went shopping today and bought boring stuff like carpet deodorizer, a swiffer, air fresheners, sponges, and a few other household items and I think I get entirely too excited about purchasing them. I got the swiffer wet cloths that have febreeze in them but soon discovered that the dry ones do work better than I predicted for catching hair so I’ll have to pick some of them up too. I also got a downy ball so I can stop having to watch for the rinse cycle in my washer to add the softener. It may also be because we have pretty defined roles between Randy and I.

The kitchen is my territory. He does not touch my cleaning products or attempt to clean the dishes or do the laundry. I’m set in my ways and if things get out of sorts it annoys me. He also doesn’t vacuum in the house. His area of expertise is cleaning up after Colby outside (pooper scooper anyone?), tools, the car (which he vacuumed this morning in preparation for installing the carseat. I had hair galore from Colby in there) , and of course doing that whole work outside the home thing. I’m a creature of habit and minor changes throw off my whole day. I also do most of the cooking although he does know how. I just like the traditional roles I guess. I also feel that I should be doing the majority of the work at home since I’m choosing to be a stay at home mother while he takes on 10-12 hour shifts 6 days a week.

How do you and your significant other delegate responsibilities in and out of the home? How do you feel about it?
