If my house could talk it would have a lot to say.
Like, um. Hello? Exactly what kind of people crank a song titled “Ugly Bug Ball” for after dinner entertainment?”
And…do you people talk about anything other than Disney?
Which of these kids actually belong and which are transient?
Crumbs. Crumbs at breakfast. Lunch. Snacks. And dinner too? I know you appreciate clean floors as much as I. But have you any idea how that thing you refer to as a broom tickles my underside?
Don’t you think a tequila shooting session is better suited for Saturday night than Sunday?
Would you mind dusting my ceiling fans more than twice a year?
If I had ears, I’d be begging for plugs. Seriously.
Tell me you didn’t strategically place a hidden mickey on Kennedy’s bedroom wall. Really?
Could someone teach that boy the art of aiming for the toilet? Please.
And the big guy too. While you’re at it.
On the subject of toilets…it would serve you well to remind the toddler to flush. Ahem.
The teenager? She needs to crack a window in there. For real. Talk about stale.
Do ya’ll have something against clipping toenails into a wastebasket? C’mon.
Explain to me how the nine-year-old has enough grease on the bottom of her feet after every meal to leave footprints? It’s not like fried chicken is a staple around here.
Pssst. That “lost” video game? It’s in the playroom. Wedged between the wall and toy box. You’re welcome.
The checkbook from 2006 though? Long gone.
Oh yeah. And you didn’t hear it from me, but the teenager is sneaking food in her room again. Check under the bed for wrappers.
The dryer doesn’t really eat socks. Your daughter does.
You may want to consider an exterminator. And if not…you should definitely wear slippers when you get up at night to pee. Just sayin.
I appreciate Thursday clean up nights. I really. Really do.
And the way you fill me up with the scent of buckwheat blueberry pancakes come Saturday morning.
Or homemade apple pie at the first sign of Autumn.
I never tire of the sound of laughter echoing off my walls.
Or the feel of the family cozied up with popcorn on movie night.
The hustle and bustle of the school year is comfortable and familiar.
And the pre Disney trip frenzy brings even my footings to life.
I’m definitely a full house.
And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Hello??!!! You didn’t tell me you had THIS up your sleeve! It’s so… pretty! I love it!
I haven’t even read your post yet… I might have more to say in a minute.
Dude…if people only knew the half of it – they’d be cracking up as much as me! Or perhaps it is the Sunday night tequila shooters…whatever! Cracking up!

Lovin’ the new look!! Very pretty!
And I love that your walls have as much a sense a humor as you do!! You definitely found the right home!!

My house would say: “Please tell the dog to stop peeing on my floors. He’s five years old already. Give me a break.”
Love the ending of this ….very sweet.
How true for many of us. Glad my kids aren’t the only ones sneaking food to their rooms. What is with that?!? Also got my first Real Simple – love it. Thanks for the tip!
Your posts always make me laugh and cry in one breath. But this especially touched my heart because we just moved into a new house which we are currently trying to make feel like home. Not an easy task.
I love this one! It is so true, all the things our homes could say…I worry more about the dog though. He has been eye-balling me lately. lol
Nice layout and a great funny post.
I always read you’re posts but never commented, untill now then ;)
Aww, I love this! Great!!
Awesome post, I loved it!
So creative!
And…blueberry buckwheat pancakes…mmmm. Those sound delicious.
P.S. I love, love, LOVE your new blog design. Did you do it yourself? It’s so professional and colorful and…YOU.
OKAY.. I LOVE THE NEW BLOG DESIGN. The gerbera daisy is my favorite flower! I LOVE IT!!!
Ok, I’ll stop screaming.

Wow – this is about the most creative, fun, original blog entry I have read in all long, long time! Well done Darcie! Completely cool and completely you!
Hey Darcie!
Just catching up on blog reading…great new look on the website! I like the post too; especially the line about the Disney pre-trip frenzy….we have 18 days to go, and I think I’m in nesting mode!!! I’m in major “projects need to get done mode!” Trying to wrap everything up before the big annual trip! :)
