Since I "tidy up" like a maniac I guess he gets that from me. I'll bet Dad thinks I am a tasmanian devil too.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504505417780478629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-54361715730885179442009-03-20T06:58:00.000-04:002009-03-20T06:58:00.000-04:00Another thing, I've found a couple of coats of Kil...Another thing, I've found a couple of coats of Kilz will cover anything.

No...I have found alcohol gets pen out of clothing. Not sure on the walls. (use a q-tip and not much at first) ALso, I swear by the oxyclean method. It might help with the pen. As for cleaning, I seem to be on Adams side. Drives me crazy but I do it. Randy is the move things from one pile to another. I'm like, move it to its proper place the first time but no, it seems to move around. Again, I go crazy. I'm just destined to be crazy, I guess.<BR/><BR/>JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-8343413481639447212009-03-20T02:28:00.000-04:002009-03-20T02:28:00.000-04:00Let me know on the pen thing.

So now I have pen with pockmarked walls- errr! And only 3 months to find a solution ;)South of Romehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09048401651875771481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-520163911054090882009-03-19T22:36:00.000-04:002009-03-19T22:36:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

It might still bleed through the first coat, but that's what's worked for me. Be sure to let it dry thoroughly before re-coating, that helps it lock the dye into a lower layer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-45158044068309607362009-03-19T15:28:00.000-04:002009-03-19T15:28:00.000-04:00Oh, not the right person: my method is just like A...Oh, not the right person: my method is just like Adam's!<BR/>For house cleaning tips, I've used this for years<BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Green-Housekeeping-Ellen-Sandbeck/dp/B001OW5O5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1237490538&sr=1-1<BR/>but its general approach is too systematic for me!<BR/>I will try to stick to your Aunt Carol's adivice also, that sounds just right!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-52976422365312556532009-03-19T12:42:00.000-04:002009-03-19T12:42:00.000-04:00http://wildparenting.blogspot.com/2008/07/living-s...http://wildparenting.blogspot.com/2008/07/living-stuff-free-how-to-tame-toys.html<BR/><BR/>read this......sorry i don't know how to get it into a link for youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-56992717157041114282009-03-19T10:20:00.000-04:002009-03-19T10:20:00.000-04:00I unfortunately clean house like Adam.

I start one thing, then another, then another, until I'm washing clothes, vacuuming, cleaning the counters, dusting . . . all randomly, here and there, until I finally get it all done. I guess it's just that there is always so much to do and I get distracted. <BR/>Hopefully I'll get some spring cleaning done this weekend -- the windows are filthy and the floors have got to be cleaned! But then I really need to plant those new spring flowers! See there I go again!Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955272641751674050noreply@blogger.com
