Ok so I have just spent the better half of my Saturday morning CLEANING! I have been getting the evil eye from the hubby who sits idly by in his recliner because I dare sit to eat and watch part of a movie with the house in disaster mode. I should mention that we all didn't even get up till 9am so it was a late start to begin with. Most times when I wake, my back is stiff so I will feed the kids and sit down to work my back out....THEN start to clean up. It should also be said that Friday nights consist of the PPV ritual, hubby and I always choose a movie to watch together. During this time, the kids run amuck and wreak havoc on the playroom.....always without fail...this is THEIR Friday night ritual. Sooo here we are Saturday morning, just fresh outta bed barely having our breakfast down....then there is a knock at the door. CRAP!! Its someone we haven't seen in ages and hubby invites him in! I come out of my bedroom (I was in my jammies still) fully clothed and say hello. As he is talking I am scanning the living room, WOW my 2 1/2 yr old has her clothes all over my floor (she changes clothes every 20 mins), my son was drawing in a notebook the night before and all his torn out pages of completed drawings are all over my couch and to top it all off I see cocopuffs spilled all over my dining room floor! OH NOOO! Someone please tell me this is NOT happening! Did I mention you can see most of the disaster zone from a standing position in the living room and the fact that my vacuum cleaner stopped working?
To the left is a door that is WIDE open revealing the toy ridden playroom totally littered with trash from cheese sticks to zebra cakes :( It looks like a tornado has ripped through there, literally. Oh god could this get any worse? Shouldn't we all know better than to ask that question? The answer is YES it can get worse! There is good news and bad news that comes next in this crazy post of mine. The good news: Our drop by without calling guest DID NOT have to use the bathroom. The bad news: I discovered on my own quest to the bathroom that there is indeed POO POO on the potty, smeared in good and dry YAY! Here's another tidbit of information as if I haven't shared enough with you all, hubby took a shower in there WITH the kids last night, did he NOT see poo poo on the potty? I think he did.........MEN ARE USELESS! UGHH!
So for now my house is CLEAN from top to bottom, will we have any more visitors, probably not. Its always that way, people drop by constantly when its a mess but when I clean it not one single person will come. If you are lonely and seek attention "MESS IT UP, THEY WILL COME" LOL I have even had scheduled visits and stayed up all night cleaning only to find out the next morning they cant come for this reason or that :(
HOORAY for Saturday morning cleaning fests!! THE END
