Cleaning

I used to come home from work on a Friday and dig right into cleaning my house. It took me about 2 hours, but when it was done...ahhhh...it felt so good. That hasn't happened in at least 18 months.

Now I long for clean Mine are so dusty.
Clean Mine are beginning to look "marked and nicked."
Clean
So much changes when you have a child. You give to them all day and by night I am tired. I know that cleaness will once again be restored and children will be grown up, but for today, I need one of these to come by and do it for me. ;)
Did anyone ever look this good cleaning? I'd fall and break my neck if I wore heels like that while washing my kitchen floor!

Right after I had Ryan I had a cleaning crew come in and deep clean my house. It took 3 women four hours and they cleaned the place top to bottom--blinds, walls, baseboards, toilets, everything. The place just sparkled...and smelled so clean--they even got off the hard water marks around my faucets. It cost me like 200 bucks so it was a one time deal but I still dream of having them come back. Maybe I need to have another child...

You speak the truth! One day we will restore order and cleanliness, by golly we will.

Don't worry. Give Jacob a couple more years and then you can put that little tyke to work. We're old fashioned at my house and still believe in chores! If you start them early (and use rewards) I find they even enjoy doing chores till they hit around 10 years of age. Then it's a chore getting them to do their chores, ha!

Disconnection is a process. We must learn to embrace the dirt one toilet, one floor at a time. And if that doesn't work, call Susie. Although even more frustrating is having it clean and then getting dirty again in 20 minutes. To everything there is a season. . .
