		<description>Catching up on my bloggy reading, I&#039;ve been neglectful.  But, this should make you feel better.

1.  The bathrooms in our house are cleaned once every two weeks, when the cleaning lady comes. 

2.  We allow TV during dinner ummm...ya every night.  Kids eat and watch in the den.  Husband and I eat at the kitchen island (or standing), usually with one or two kids on our laps, not with the tv on but usually doing a gazillion other things at the same time.  .

3.  We don&#039;t serve seafood.  Maybe shrimp, but who has time to cook that?  Sometimes sushi takeout.

4. I exercise never.  Even with all my talking and stalking the UPS guy at Gamestop for the Wii Fit.

5. I don&#039;t remember the last time I clipped any toes or fingernails.  It&#039;s sad I know.  But they don&#039;t seem that bad to me.  Unless I get scratched, then I know it&#039;s that time again.</description>

		<description>Um, yikes. Well, just remember that you asked, &#039;k?  :)

1.  The bathrooms here are cleaned either when I am completely grossed out by them, or if we happen to be expecting company - whichever comes first. Any guests who drop by out of the blue need to enter at own risk. ;)

2.  We don&#039;t have a tv visible from our kitchen table. Therefore, on some occasions, the kids will eat at the table while their father and I eat in the living room. Sad, I know. 

3.  Seafood - nope, not that I can think of.  Unless you can count tuna fish. Although I&#039;m the only one who likes even that.  :)

4. I exercise precisely never. Except for chasing the girls around and walking .000001 miles an hour down the street either pulling Becca in the wagon or with Abby as she rides her bike. Oh, and lots of stairs now that we moved our bedroom into the basement. That has to count for something, right?

5.  And as for clipping finger and toenails - you pretty much said it all.  :)</description>

		<description>I am right there with you with the cleaning, excercise, and nails.  

We do have seafood, however it is not usually cooked in my kitchen.  We try and go out to eat once a weekend.  I grew up and still live in a New England coastal town.  My uncle is a lobsterman, in fact.  Lots of good seafood around here.  Personally, I like the lobster racing better than eating them, though.  I do love fresh scallops and light fish!  I rarely eat seafood when traveling.

We don&#039;t do TV during dinner.  My kids have dinner with my mom during the week while we are commuting home from work.  We have nice sit down family meals on the weekends, to make up for missing them during the week.</description>

		<description>1. Bathrooms - once a week, sometimes once every two weeks... but if there&#039;s a big stain or whatever, it&#039;s cleaned up with a clorox wipe
2. We eat dinner in front of the TV
3. If we eat fish its either sashimi or fish fingers... mmmm... deep fried fish
4. Exercise? what is that?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m SO glad you didn&#039;t ask about changing sheets.  I can&#039;t even say.

Bathrooms--you&#039;re about right on.  

TV at dinner--sometimes more often than that.  You can see it from the table, so if it&#039;s not a &quot;family dinner&quot; (i.e. hubby is late or out of town) I sometimes let it slide.

Seafood--2 + times a month (usually salmon or shrimp)

Exercise--I think you&#039;re waaay ahead of the mommy curve on that one.</description>

		<description>This is us:

1.  The bathrooms in our house are cleaned once every two weeks.

2.  We allow TV during dinner, pretty much all the time. It&#039;s just the three of us, and I like Dr. Phil.

3.  Seafood is served, um, precisely, 4-5 times per week. Shrimp and talapia are our faves.

4. I exercise 4-5 times per week - we go to our local Y alot. And I like to walk/run through our neighborhood.

5.  Admittedly Iâ€™m awful at remembering to clip the kidsâ€™ toe and fingernails.  Jake gets a good clipping when he needs it.</description>

		<description>Fun post.

1.  Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  Surfaces get wiped down frequently, but real cleaning less so.

2. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  If there is a really big Rangers game on, or if the kids ate dinner early, then Husband will watch TV and eat on the couch.  We usually sit together with no TV though.

3. Same here.  I don&#039;t care for it and don&#039;t know how to cook it.

4. Exercise is at least 3 times a week, working on getting up to 4.

5. Husband is in charge of kid nail maintenance, so I don&#039;t really know how often it happens.  Whenever he notices I guess.</description>

		<description>1.Watching TV at night during dinner is only allowed IF I can be allowed to read the newspaper while we eat.
2. Bathrooms cleaned about every 2 weeks sounds just about right.
3. The drama involved in clipping my 9 year olds nails just isn&#039;t worth a regular takedown. When they become lethal I go in for the kill.
4. I DO exercise at least 4 times a week....not so much during summer when she is out of school, but definitely during the school year.</description>

		<description>1.  Um, I clean them when they look dirty. Is that bad? 

2.  No TV at all, but Luke is only 17 months. When he&#039;s older, it&#039;ll probably just be a weekend thing. 

3.  We eat a lot of seafood, but we&#039;re both seafood lovers! 

4. I excercise a few times a week. We try to go for a walk every single night, weather permitting, and I try to do little things to tone. 

5.  I don&#039;t pay attention to how often I clip the fingernails and toes. Like the bathroom, when they need it, they get clipped. Or when I get a jagged fingernail in the side of the face.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t wait to meet you in the big &quot;D&quot;

Now here&#039;s how we measure up...
1.  The bathrooms get cleaned weekly-but not by me.  Within a few hours you&#039;d never know they were ever cleaned.

2.  We don&#039;t normally do dinner with the TV ony because the kids are not be able to focus on the glass of milk and the tv which results in milk on the floor and a really mad daddy.

3.  Seafood is served weekly, but normall only to the hubby and the girl.  

4.  Exercise.  We own a gym...need I say more?

5.  Finger/toe nails.  When hubby starts complaining about how bad the kid&#039;s nails look, I clip.  Comes out to about twice per month on the baby and almost never on the older two.</description>
