which I so obviously need
according to my teenaged-son.
"Mom," he says to me, inspecting the vegetable drawer in the fridge. "I think you should start taking some of my Adderall."
"Why's that?" I enquire.
"Because it really lets you focus on stuff and then you could see clearly like I do, just how dirty this house is."
Hmm? Adderall?
To lose a few pounds?
Definitely.
To write that second novel?
Maybe.
To do housework?
No way in hell.

I don't blame ya one bit, Meg. My vacuum cleaner needs to have a sign that reads, "I'd rather be blogging."
Wow, sounds like you need to sit down with your son and have that important talk about how women find it sexy when men do housework. Let him know that every hour he spends cleaning the house is another hour that will be spent in bed.
Yes, it's time to lie...
What is he?
A MAN, or something???
Once a month or so I try to "channel Martha Stewart" until I wake up and realize she pays others to scrub her kitchen floor with a toothbrush.
And since my budget does not include fees for "the outside hire of domestic engineering", I anxiously await the day when my boys are old enough for child labor. :)
If he's noticing it's dirty, he can clean it!
Housework is definitely not high on my priority list. I'll pick up clutter and clean the kitchen but the rest will wait!
Oh My God - I so needed to laugh this morning -- thank you. As I was cleaning up our house (We had company) my son says "Mom we should have company every day, as you make the house look so nice" And yeah Martha doesn't live here at my house either. As the saying goes -- You won't get Salmonella from our home -- but it's lived in.
Ha! That's great. I might need some Adderall as well, because on any given day, what's in my vegatable drawer is unidentifiable.
Second novel? Crimony.
At some point, I'm really going to have to read through your archives and get all caught up.
Quite right! Chemicals should only be abused for good reasons ;-)
Damn kids! The always have to point out our flaws. Like they're so perfect. It's time to figure out a way to embarrass the hell out of him.
Whoever sees it takes care of it. That's my motto!
Then my motto makes me laugh and laugh because of all the things I've seen around here, I've never seen anyone else live up to that motto!
I'd leave the veggie drawer. It could very well end up containing the cure for cancer.
I tried ADD meds for a few months after being casually diagnosed by a therapist. They really do suppress your appetite but the house didn't get any cleaner. I didn't like the side effects of my heart feeling like it was about to beat out of my chest either.
Having been a teenage son, I can tell you that they're really good at pointing out discrepancies but not so great at doing anything about them. Wonderful creatures.
Amen. Just.....Amen
Since your some is so focused, I'd hand him a rag and some Pledge.
Wait, back up: can Adderall make you lose weight? I'm thinking I have focusing issues.
Love that sign! Your son is lucky, my mom would have told me to clean out the frig.
This is why you're so likable: your priorities are in order.
I am right there with you! We should start a society called the AHAAC. Avoiding Housework At All Costs.
hey baby, can we meet at the ot or the idiot
Oh how I thrive on sarcasm! Love your blog!
I have to get that sign! I have two in that same genre:
1. On the outside of my house by the front door:
"I cleaned my house yesterday . . . wish you could have seen it."
2. Hanging in my kitchen:
"God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I'm so far behind that I'll never die."
Ok, so I'm the anonymous idiot directly above this comment.
My damn fingernail hit the 'Enter' key while I was filling in my name/website.
DUH! So here we go again . . .
HA! Hilarious, I love it! Way to prioritize! I'll be reading along, cause a blog that makes me laugh is ALWAYS worth reading. Thanks! ^_^

LOL, I agree with Theresa B. Nothing makes me want to give a b.j. than watching my hubs clean.
That is why he only gets them like 2 times a year.
