Have You Seen Me Lately?

First and foremost, I'd like to start by saying I feel like a total scab. Here I have all these amazing comments and new followers and I've yet to return the friendliness.

I'm a little busy preparing for the invasion of the Moms. And trying to find a sitter for Saturday night. It's also end of the quarter. For those of you knew to the Drafts Folder, end of quarter means no less than 55 hours at work and no time to screw around on the internet. Results pour out of printers (3 different ones depending on the testing) all damned day, plus more specimens pile in daily.

It's exhausting and I've been cutting back on coffee. I have 1 cup a day and I'm pretty sure it's half-caf. (That qualifies as an Iron Woman, right?) (The guys make the coffee in the morning so I have no idea what they are making but I know That Guy only drinks half caf because of a medication he takes.) But with all my exercising I find I still have the energy so it's all good and I'm down 7lbs. Bonus.

Did I mention end of quarter is on 4/3 and the Knight's mom gets here on 4/1?

And now a cleaning conversation:

TK: I hope you aren't doing all of this because my mother is coming.

Me: Well, it is spring and I do have to spring clean. This place it a pit.

TK: Because my mom had a flock of children and is used to it looking that way.

Me: *look of death*

TK: I'm just saying, she's not going to dislike you if the baseboards aren't completely scrubbed. Kids live here. Kids spill things. Mom knows this.

Me: Right. But I know the spill is there so it has to be wiped up. I'm not having your mother come into my house looking like no one cleans.

TK: It doesn't look that way, you're exaggerating. I promise you my mother never washed a baseboard the entire time I was growing up.

Me: You're a liar, I'm calling your mother right now.

TK: Go ahead. Tell her I said hello.

*Calls the Knight's Mom and explains the lie*

TK's Mom: (laughing) He's half right. I never cleaned the baseboards because it made perfect punishment when the kids got out of line. They were clean, just not by my hands. In fact, the Knight did quite a bit of baseboard scrubbing as I recall. But I hope this isn't because you are washing your own on my behalf because I promise not to look.

Me: (to TK) See? The woman had clean baseboards because you were a hellion. Which means you have experience so get to work, buddy there's tons to be done in this place.

So anyway, I've been busy. If you need me, I'm probably behind a stack of results like this one: (coffee cup to show scale.)

(FYI for my new readers: Back in December I decided to only ever title my posts after song/ album titles which is why some of them border on slightly irrelevant. Usually completely irrelevant to the actual song.)
