Hello Monday!
Hello to No School for Angry Kid. Hello to another work day for me!
Hello to Angry Kid’s first grade journals. Should I be proud that he knows how to spell assassinated?
Hello to a busy work week last week.
Hello to going shooting with the boys on Saturday. I survived. Angry Kid got to take his revenge out on zombies?
My family has a weird zombie obsession, does yours?
Hello to my husband’s new favorite photo. This photo has so many things going on in it.
Hello to Angry Kid going to sleep at around 4pm on Saturday night.
Hello to Angry Kid waking up at 5am on Sunday morning. Angry Kid went on a cleaning frenzy on Sunday starting with his closet. He then went and cleaned the toilets in both of the bathrooms in the house. He is quite random.
Hello to Whole Foods. Or as my BFF Stacey likes to call it, “Whole Paycheck”. Everything looked so pretty and shiny. And ouch the prices! I felt odd driving my Tahoe there.
Hello to Angry Husband’s recent Celiac diagnosis. Goodbye to Gluten.

Hello to Monday, end of the weekend, and start of my work week.
Hello to a school Holiday for the kid.
How was your weekend? Did you do anything exciting?
I’m linking up with Lisa Leonard and her Hello Monday Series.
Last week, I came home to a package on my doorstep. As a part of the DailyBuzz Moms Tastemaker Program, The Clorox Company sent me a package of products to review.
I received a sample of a Brita Water Bottle, Glad Food Storage Containers, and Glad To-Go Food Storage Containers.
Brita 20 oz. Water Bottle with filter. This bottle is BPA-free, and top rack dishwasher safe. I love the size of this bottle. It is tall and slender. It will fit in my car’s cupholder with ease. I also like the rubber carrying loop on the top of it. I’ve already saved a ton of money with this water bottle. Since I’ve had this bottle, I haven’t had to buy any bottled water from the store. I just fill up the bottle with tap water.
Glad To-Go Food Storage Containers. Glad has came up with a great new product line to compliment their already awesome storage containers. They’ve added a small cup that secures to the interior portion of the lid. I’m always packing some kind of salad or chicken for lunch at work. I’m so excited because I can store the salad dressing or sauce in the lid. Honestly, my husband was pretty excited for this product also.
Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. We are already proud users of these Clorox wipes. To be honest, I hand my son one of these wipes, and make him clean his bathroom. There is nothing worse, than a 6 year old boy’s bathroom. These wipes do the job, plus they kill the germs.
All of these products are awesome tools for a busy working mom like me. Seriously, I can use all of the tools that I can get.
Now, if I can survive the next two weeks till school starts.
Disclosure: I received these items as samples for review purposes on behalf of the DailyBuzz Moms Tastemaker Program. All opinions are mine.
I have a little obsession with reality TV. I admit that. Perhaps they were having a Hoarders mini marathon on, Sunday night. I LOVE watching that show. I think it is appeasing to my inner OCD, and justifies my obsession with throwing things away. I know that my friend, Kim, will understand my need to throw things away. It is very hard to live in my house sometimes, especially with all of the little toys lying around.
After the first episode, Angry Kid came and sat down with me. He wanted to see what I was watching. I told him the title, Hoarders. He did not understand, but he say it with his own eyes…that was enough. It was really sad though when they started showing children’s rooms.
I explained to Angry Kid that these people keep a lot of stuff, and don’t clean up. I told him that never put things in the trash, give them to charity, or put things away. Angry Kid instantly looked at the floor in the living room. I saw that there were Legos, and other small toys all over. He immediately started picking up his toys and placing them in boxes nearby.
Angry Kid then said, “I don’t want bugs in my room.” One of the children on the show had bugs in his bed. I think that completely freaked Angry Kid out. So every time his mess gets a little out of hand, I might have to remind him about watching Hoarders.
This is what the living room/family room table looked like after he picked up his mess. I’m pretty impressed. He did it all by himself.
P.S. I’m pretty excited. There’s a Hoarder’s Marathon on Memorial Day. I’m working that day, but totally setting the DVR.
