Hello, my name is Kelley, and I am a Target-addict
Yes, it is true. I am addicted to Target. I go in for dog food, and $100 dollars later....
My new resolution: I do not leave my house with any credit cards, debit cards, etc. Unless it's needed on a SPECIFIC errand.
I go back to a $20 a week allowance (maybe even $10 a week), shop with a grocery list, get haircuts at Supercuts and cut back where ever possible.
Why you ask? Well, the greatest thing in the WORLD happend to me today. Someone ELSE cleaned my house! I mean CLEANED! Scrubbed corners that have never been scrubbed. My wooden blinds? DUST FREE! My house smells pleasently of disinfectant. It smells clean. I LOVE IT! I have never, ever had a housekeeper, and after today, I vow to do whatever I can to keep Ms. Carmen. She washed my windows, people! I am so excited. My grout...white! Unbelievable. If my children have to eat pasta and PB&Js for the rest of their lives, this is worth it.
I figure if I can cut out my daily trips to Tar-ghey, I can make this work. This is a bit tricky, seeing as how I live so close to one, and it is enroute to Emma's pre-school, but I will take a new path!
This is heaven.

I'm so close to selling my left leg to get a housekeeper.... SO close. I just can't be bothered. And my house shows it. Ugh.
I hate hate HATE HATE HATE housework. So I don't do it.
That was my problem. We'd go WAY too long without scrubbing and changing the sheets. I tell ya, I'm willing to give up EVERYTHING to keep this woman. It has made me proud of my house, and I even found myself picking up the clutter that had accumulated in 4 hours, just to keep it looking nice.
WORD TO THE MOMMAS.
I wrote just today that it is my fervent wish to have someone clean my house. Regularly. And not have it be me. (That is not to insinuate that I clean my house.) bwahaha.
You've given me hope, miss Kelley. :)
~Stacy, who got out of Target tonight for 40 bucks. WHOOP!
I'm a block and a half from a two-story Target. I need help. Really, I do.
