Fool me twice…

January 19, 2009 by Lauren 13 Comments

Lloyd’s a stinker.  He outright lied to me again* and said that he didn’t have school but the teachers had a ‘workday’.  After dropping me off this morning – he came right back and cleaned the basement!!!  There are no ‘before’ photos, but trust me – it was awful.  Piles of junk, papers, boxes and assorted nonsense all over.  It’s so clean now, I am inspired to get the rest of the house in tip-top condition!

Clean, yet blurry.

Garrrrrrrr.  As happy as it makes me, it pains me that he is so good at this.  How does he have the ability to stay in one spot and keep working on it without the urge to cook/melt/sew something or to try to make a solar heater for cats?  Such laser-like focus.  Right now, I have four chores in the works: folding laundry (half done), sorting through papers upstairs, trying to remember to take that vacuum  upstairs, and…… eh, I’ll remember the other one later.

*He did this in March of 2007, and once before, but I can’t find the proof.

Pants on fire.

March 12, 2007 by Lauren 9 Comments

Today Lloyd got up, showered, got dressed for school, followed me out the driveway, drove to the city limits of Seward…..then turned right around, came home, and cleaned up the yard.

He did not have school today, even though when I asked this weekend, “Are you out on Monday?  We’re going to have a lot of children at the center because Seward is out.”  He lied and said, “No.”

He did this once before.  The last time he cleaned up the whole basement.  It’s such a shock because his deception is so thorough.  I mean….driving away? Dressed up?  Coming home is so disorienting.  “Why is he home?  Why is he wearing that?  Why is it so clean?  Am I dead?”

Here are some photos of his amazingness, though they are only meaningful if you can understand that we HATE yardwork, and every nook and cranny was filled with a foot of compacted leaves and dead weeds.  Brad has been our only lifeline to greenery, though Lloyd has really stepped it up recently.  It’s really too bad that there are no ‘before’ pictures.  Lloyd said he raked up seventeen billion trash cans of leaves from the front yard and side garden.

Tired liar.

Ready for planting!
