You know what I don’t want to do anymore? Clean my house.
Nope.
Had enough.
I hear many moms say it’s a never-ending battle. And guess what? It really is a never-ending battle.
At any given moment I have enough laundry thrown around the house to open my own Gap store. And everyday I pick it up. How is that even possible? I know there’s seven people living here, but come on! No one's changing clothes 10 times a day, where is all the laundry coming from? Heck, CamCam won’t even wear clothes. Is someone throwing it out of the closets when I’m not looking? Something fishy is definitely going on here.
And dust. I think all the world’s dust originates at my house. Yup. Right here is the source. Sorry people. It doesn’t matter how often you dust, soon as you turn around, it’s right back. It’s like some sort of evil monster.
Ohhhh, fingerprints. I have fingerprints all over the windows, furniture and kitchen appliances. Except, my kids have Indestructible Fingerprints. No matter what cleaning product I buy, I can’t get them off. I actually wiped some of the finish off our end table, but the fingerprints wouldn’t budge.
Mopping is a joke. All I do when I mop is guarantee that soon after someone will have an accident. Maybe someone can’t make it to the bathroom. Maybe someone decides to throw a plate of food across the room. Or maybe someone decides their old enough to get their own glass of apple juice and then, oops, when they spill the entire bottle decide they better use every towel they can find to smear the stuff across the room.
How about picking up? Anyone still bother to try and pick up toys and things that are where they do not belong? I read this cleaning tip once- it said to take a laundry basket with you throughout your house and anything you find that isn’t where it belongs, toss it into the basket. Hahaha, one laundry basket! Could anyone accomplish this with one? I think I’d need at least 10.
But seriously, if I really put my mind to it and decided that this was it, I was going to go right now and not stop until I had the entire house in tip-top shape, I bet I could get the whole thing done in less then 3 hours.
I could do it.
And my three little boys, if they really put their mind to it and decided to go right after and not stop until they had messed up everything I did, I bet they would be done in less than 3 minutes.
They have done it.
