Kicking A$$ and taking names

I tried. I really really tried to go to sleep on time last night. It just didn't happen. My brain refuses to just TURN OFF! I was thinking about what I was going to make the kids for breakfast, how I was going to feel waking up for my workout....OH GOD NOW I'M DOWN TO 7 HOURS OF SLEEP! OK, OK, relax, think about a color.. blue.. good..blue is nice...blue is calming......blue is the color of the dot on the Wii fit when you're about to start a workout......God, I hate to workout...... but I need to not be so freaking fat... SHIT! DOWN TO 6 HOURS! This went on and on and on. I have issues. Oh, and then the one year old woke up at 4:30a.m. Yep....  I know this sounds like I'm gearing up to tell you that I flaked, but GUESS AGAIN!! I did 30 minutes of Wii fitness workouts, 15 minutes of yoga, 15 minutes of cardio. So there! I also plan on taking a very long walk again with the dog this afternoon... How you like them apples?? OH!! I almost forgot! I guess I was drinking like zero water because just drinking all that green tea yesterday and pissing every five frigging minutes.. I am 5 pounds lighter in one day. I know it's just water weight but WHATEVER! I'll take it. 

Anyway, enough about me. As I promised, I am giving you the first 2 of my "save money on cleaning supplies" tricks! This first one actually had me jumping up and down clapping like a retard when it actually worked. (yeah, picture that. lol) 

For those of you who own a Swiffer Wet Jet, you know that the refills on the damn thing really adds up. Not only do you have to buy the mopping pads, you also have to toss away a perfectly good bottle of solution and go buy another one. NO MORE I SAY! I bet you tried unscrewing the top like I did at first to no avail.. Well, here's how you get it off!

 Here is the little bastard.

 Bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove, then turn it off. Soak the top of the Swiffer solution bottle in the water for about 2 minutes.

TAKE THAT SWIFFER PEOPLE!!!! 

Now just make your own mopping solution with mostly water and whatever else you like. I put some bleach and good ol' fabuloso. You can do a vinegar and baking soda solution, or whatever floats your boat.

OK, the next one is pretty awesome too. Let me start of by saying that I LOVE fabric sprays like febreeze. After I'm done my daily cleaning I go around and spray all the furniture and closets. If you love it as much as I do you will find yourself buying the damned stuff ALL THE TIME. Here's how to make a pretty awesome if not better version from stuff you have home right now.

 Get your empty febreeze bottle or just pick up a cheap sprayer bottle from the dollar store. Fill the bottle 3/4 of the way up with HOT tap water. Add about 3 tablespoons of your favorite fabric softener. (Make sure its kinda strong because you're diluting it) Next, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of good ol' odor neutralizing baking soda. Shake shake shake. Spray to your hearts content because you can now make febreeze in WHATEVER scent you like for pennies a bottle!

So there you have it. Some savings for your pockets. Now I'm off to do my weekly shopping ( I have to get the ingredients for homemade laundry detergent!) Let you all know how that turns out tomorrow. Damn I have to pee again. 

Bye for today!
