Ever feel like you are in high school again?

I do. and I shouldn't.

I think I feel this way b/c I am used to being the entertainer - having people over and I cannot at this current home. we are busting our asses to get this damn place on the market, but running two businesses, having two bosses and a hubby that works crazy hours, doesn't help.

I *know* I need to stop making excuses, but you know what? I see families every day that work TOGETHER to help each other and i don't even feel comfortable asking my family for help. and when i do, they are busy and sigh.

it sucks and this is my problem b/c if i just swallowed my pride, i could do it.

we finally have the house in semi-presentable condition for me to ask my mom to come over and help, so i think we will be doing this next week.

I LOVE SHOUT STAIN REMOVER.

It's been awhile, but man i just found a new product - and no, this isn't a sponsored post as I don't do those :)

Well, i cut my leg and bled on my NEW SHEETS!! :( and was really upset. Well, as some moms, I didn't have the time to tend to it immediately, and today I got around to washing my sheets (don't worry, it wasn't like 3 weeks ;)) Anyway, I put some shout stain stick on it and O.M.G. the set in blood stain IS GONE.

Another miracle save on a cute skirt -
dd's skirt she kindly drenched it in purple something or other (most likely some form of colored juice) nice. well, I didn't notice it until yesterday, and today i put shout spray on it and voila! :)

So, here is my cocktail laundry recipe:

small amount of detergent
1 scoop of oxyclean
shout as necessary on everything.

that's it! :)
