So do I. That's why everything around me is such a mess

 

[tickledkitty]

Me too. Sometimes I have to tackle it 15 minutes at a time just to get through it.

I'd post something. But my dust bunnies have turned carnivorous so I'm a little busy.

Back! Back, you hellhounds!

I dislike it as well, but I notice that the artist for your picture seems to have had more than cleaning in mind. Nice choice.

Urgh, I'm not a natural housewife, thats for sure.

Somedays I swear i don't know how my houseactually gets messed up -someone must ocme in and do it when I'm not looking.

Clean naked.... Natures way.......

Super clean houses make people more susceptible to little germs that come along. I tell myself that I'm promoting good health for my family by my lack of domestic cleaning skills. Works for me!

I think you're definitely promoting family harmony. Hygiene is good, but I shudder at the thought of those homes in which preserving the whiteness of the carpet has become the Ultimate Good.

But then, I have the good fortune to have a permanent easy rejoinder to "Were you born in a barn?!"

I keep waiting for the elves to come in the night and wash my dishes and put away all the camping gear, but they never do. I wonder if it would help to leave them cookies?

I'm waiting for the front end loader and the bulldozer to become available.....

I think they are at Abs's house this week......

Yesterday, I emptied out 5 drawers in my study that were full of stuff - and I mean so full that I had trouble opening or closing them - as part of an impulsive cleaning spree (I'm over it now, don't worry). Anyway, after going through all that and trashing whatever I decided I didn't need, I now have 4 empty drawers, with the fifth at half capacity.

I now see hardwood floor in the living room.

It's been ages.

If you try cleaning behind the filing cabinet, you might find a portal into John Malkovich's head.

I thought you said there was carpet in there....

Oh, it was just the dust bunnies holding hands.....

Did you know this was your 21,000th post? And it was about cleaning.

Lauren, can I put my stuff in your 4 and a half empty drawers?

 

[TxRad]

These aren't dust bunnies, Tx.

Dust gorillas, maybe.

That would explain the banana peals.....

 

[Lauren Hynde]

But I discovered the best way to clean the rugs we had scattered about the floor was to toss them out and buy new.

As long as you didn't need to use a blowtorch to unstick them from the floor, it's all good.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Lauren, can I put my stuff in your 4 and a half empty drawers?

Sure!

Funny thing: I'm looking at that 5th half-empty drawer, and I don't think I really need half the stuff in there either.

Blowtorch........ I wonder if that would work on the glasses and beer bottles on the coffee table....

Great. Now I'm going to have four empty drawers of my own I can fill with stuff again!

Try leaving them bowls of milk, a little scotch and some shiny objects. They may not clean, but they'll quit stealing your car keys and jewelry.
