Workin' Nine to Five...

I have to blog quickly because my laptop hates me and is refusing to charge it's batteries.  That's okay though, because I had the most boring day EVER!!  Somehow last week my house went from reasonably clean to... unreasonably unclean.  or something.  I spent the whole entire day cleaning.  I'm  talking nine to five people.  I even cleaned my room.  And let me tell you, if you haven't cleaned your room in a year or so, my advice is to convert it into a storage room and sell your house as quickly as possible.  By no means should you try to clean it.  There will be vicious dust bunnies attacking from under the bed where they've been hiding and feeding on lego shaped waffle pieces and goldfish crackers.  Oh, I wish I were exaggerating.  But I'm not.  Not even when I tell you there were more toys in my room than in the playroom and boys' room combined.  Or when I tell you my hardwood floor felt more like a sandbox than, well, our sandbox.

You know what's even worse?  My house doesn't even look clean.  I didn't concentrate on following the boys around picking up toys all day, or folding their blankies, etc, so the house still looks messy.  I keep finding dust bunny carcasses peeping out of corners that I know I already cleaned.  They're multiplying behind my back, naughty little bunnies.

Now my brain hurts, and I'm going to bed.

Oh! It makes a mama proud! I taught her everything she knows about housekeeping, just as my mother taught me. Remember, don't ever let your house get dirtier than "nice nasty"!

I'm ashamed to say it, mama, but my room exceeded nice nasty this time. It brought back memories of helping MeMaw clean her tv room (the vacuum cleaner sounding like a WW2 machine gun). I had to fight the urge to duck and cover. Thanks for the comment!

Oh my goodness, I think we are living parallel lives!

1. my computer is doing the same thing
and
2. my house is a total disaster and I've spent 2 days trying to get it under control.
With 2 kids I've decided the only thing to do is move out and hire a crew to come in and do it all at once! :0)

I consider my weekend attempts at order not so much CLEANING as SUPERFUND SITE MANAGEMENT. I like your idea about selling the house instead.

Oh, and just so you know, you got a coveted "Recently Updated Sites" listing tonight, in case you missed it. Cheers!

tee hee hee hee... oh, me-maw-isms are the best.
I think I sang "once upon a horsefly" in the jungle this week (when I saw one the size of a hummingbird)
