Welcome To The Drunken Single Housewife!

My name is Nelly. I am a 33 y/o mom with a bunch of loud messy kids (including myself) & there is nothing funner than grabbing an icy adult beverage, popping in some loud 70's music & tackling cleaning projects around the house(especially at 10:30pm).So Where did I come from? Well, honestly, I have to admit, I once was (kinda) a hoarder (in a responsible round about kinda way) I never took cleaning seriously, and honestly I had my priorities scattered in random, useless areas. I also had a different life before and that all changed in August of 2009, when my husband died suddenly of a heart attack. Our lives suddenly changed, we were forced out of our house we shared for 12 years, and 9 months later another move was made to settle in to the house we plan on staying in for a very long time. I have learned a lot about myself during this grieving journey, but one thing I want to share here is what I have learned, becoming a more organized, a more cleaner, more tidier person. I am not a neat freak, I am not a germ a phobe, I just get very satisfied over accomplishing a task that seemed doomed or overwhelming. I ask you to join me every post. Clean with me! Tell me what works, tell me what didn't work! Don't clean with me, I don't give a shit, but maybe a little help from me can get your Hoarder's Buried Alive House looking like Martha Stewarts. storage shed.

Saturday at the 70's Cleaning Extravaganza!

So I normally reserve Saturdays for my deep cleaning day. The reason, because Mix96.1 plays 70's and "More" all friggin day until 12am! The "More" part of 70's and "More" can kiss my ass tho. As much as I like "More" and "More" meaning the 80's, I honestly like to reserve this day for 70's only. They just changed this format at the beginning of summer, so I guess I just need to deal and not let my Betty Davis eyes hurt so much. So on top of my staple Saturday chores, I am going to introduce you to my scumbag of a shower. Now, this shower you can eat off of. I keep this baby clean every day, not only do I deep clean it more than monthly, I use that awesome invention called Clean Shower Spray. The thing is that I have a fancy glass shower door with lots of pores so the door always looks cloudy. Well, after trying about every lung busting chemical known to man, I got some advice from my friend over at the thehappylilhomemaker.com. Now this lady knows her stuff, I would eat Gazpacho off her floor one day. She lives in Illinois, so that will be no time soon, but I have known her husband since I was 12, so I know she is good people. I am going to run to the hardware today after my Yoga class and do exactly what she told me, and that was to buy some White vinegar and a spray bottle (both I own) and dry wall sand paper. On my way home, I am gonna grab a 6 pack of brew, because what else goes better with vinegar?
So here is what we are looking at:
I am not gonna bash my grandparents here, but this is I have to honestly say there is scum on this shower since 1982. I grabbed my gear.((dont hate on my shower chair! I like to relax geesh!))
Let me be the first to say that this beer is the worst beer in the entire world. If Zoo had a flavor, this would be it. I am not a waster, so I popped them open and started my work. I first sprayed down the shower door with straight up white vinegar. I let it soak while I did some other chores around the house (one of them being cleaning up the graffiti tag crap some ass clown tagged up on my house AGAIN)
After that "Success" I re entered my bathroom and reapplied some more white vinegar. I then took the dry wall sander and "sanded". I do admit, this was AN EFFIN CHORE! I repeated these steps about 5 times. Rinsing each time. I would say the success rate for today was about an 80%. I have lots of patience, but I just couldn't bring myself to repeat another cycle, plus my arms were killing the eff out of me. I will have to keep up on this chore and slowly but surely have it at 100%. Look you can see my tuxedo kitty Harmony!!! Soooooo...If you are lucky to have a cloth curtain, throw it in the washer! Throw the plastic one in there too! Just dont put the plastic one in the dryer! As for the Zoo Beer, shame on me.
