31 Days: The Outlets
I’m going shopping for a new shower curtain and probably going to get a pedicure. I am leaving in about 20 minutes and Jeff is in charge of a few projects and the kids. He was all, “I can probably get more done if you take the kids” and I was all, “NICE TRY”.
He’s only got about 25 of these nasty, ancient yellow outlets to swap out.
Oh, and this morning he switched out the toilet seat in our downstairs bathroom from the stained white broken one to the new one I picked up at Target. I prefer the wood toilet seats because they hide the pee drops and if you live with boys, you know what I speak of. I avoid this downstairs bathroom because the boys mostly use it and I think it mostly smells like a portapotty ten minutes after I spray the entire thing with tea tree oil and bleach.
I will spare you the before photos, you’re welcome.
For 31 days, I’m tackling the Hot Mess. Read all about it here.

You’re not replacing the squirrel curtain are you?!
I am always afraid of getting a splinter in the ass cheek from the wooden seats. But hiding pee drops is way more important. And also a lot more likely.

I’m trying to train the boy to wipe up the pee drops… because it grosses me out sitting on them dried or not. Wish me luck.

What kind of electrical socket covers did you replace the funk-a-delic ones with? Do they make squirrel electrical socket covers?
Hannah
Oh yeah, they do. Bow before my awesome Google powers.

ZDub, you have really inspired me to do some of the crap around my own house. Love your blog.

You should definitely give away the squirrel shower curtain to a loyal reader.

Wait! So did you put the newly painted lights in the bathroom, did I miss that post? I really wanted to see the after of that one.

I never even considered that with the wood toilet seats. Genius!

Switching out outlets is a total chore and perfect for when you are not home! And of course, the kids “helping” is perfect!

Good call on the wood toilet seat.
I have taken a note of that.
My boys bathroom is so gross. I clean it with bleach, and when I walk back by it, it still smells like pee.
Boys are gross.
