Aprons- Y/N?
I own one that Sammy gave me for Christmas, and when I think of it I wear it. Based on the number of stains on my clothing this is not nearly enough.
Baking- Favorite things to bake:
Blueberry muffins! Duncan Hines mix.
Clothesline- Y/N?
We have one. I used it the first summer we were married (i.e. before children)
Donuts- Have you ever made them?
No, but I've made bagels.
Every day- One homemaking thing you do every day.
Feed the children?
Freezer- Do you have a separate deep freeze?
We have two.
Garbage Disposal- Y/N?
Yes, and I have destroyed many pieces of silverware in it.
What is your favorite homemaking resource?
My Mother
Ironing- Love it or hate it?
Hate it. Actually, for several months there has been an unknown sticky substance on the iron that I keep forgetting to clean off, so every time I try to iron I get sticky gunk on the clothes.
Junk Drawer- Y/N? Where is it?
Define "junk"?
Kitchen: Design and Decorating-
Roosters all the way!
Love- what is your favorite part of homemaking?
Playing with the children.
Mop- Y/N?
Before we got married Paul made me promise to let him do all the mopping. Mostly I do. Except sometimes the floor gets so sticky you can hardly walk across it. When this happens I think about mopping. And eventually I do actually mop if there is company coming over.
Nylons- wash by hand or in the washing machine?
I was them in the machine, then when I go to put them on I realize they have holes in them, so I throw them away. Then, if at all possible I do not wear them.
Oven- Do you use the window or open the door to check?
It depends what I'm cooking. But usually I open the door.
Pizza- what do you put on yours?
Everyone else I've seen did not see how this was a homemaking question. I do. I use whatever kind of leftover meat and veggies we have (taco meat and green beans anyone?). Unless it is summer, and then I use zucchini (I am excellent at growing zuchini.
Quiet- what do you do during the day to get a quiet moment-
It's only quiet if the children are sleeping.
Recipe box- Y/N?
No, but I have a recipe book into which I cram random papers with recipes on them.
Style of House-
Messy
Tablecloths and napkins- Y/N.
I own probably half a dozen tablecloths, but my table is naked (except for the clutter) because Isaac likes to pull on the tablecloth and send everything flying onto the floor.
Under the sink- organized or toxic wasteland?
Which sink? Actually both are pretty organized.
Vacuum- How many times per week?
As many times as Sammy has therapists coming to the house. I hate vacuuming
Wash- how many loads of laundry do you do per week?
12 maybe. And I'm still always behind.
X's- Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?
No. But I sometimes make a list of things for Paul to do. And I make a grocery list, and then forget to take it to the store.
Yard- Y/N. Who does what?
I love our yard. I do the fun stuff like gardening and landscaping. (It looks pretty bad right now). And then whenever a random neighbor kid shows up at the door wanting to mow we hire him. If there are no neighbor kids for a long time, either Paul mows, or my dad.
So what does everyone else have to say?
