It's Time to Mop....seriously
For the last few weeks, hubby (mostly hubby) has been grumbling about how dirty the kitchen floor is. We both sweep on a regular basis, but it's time to break out the mop. It could use a little, well a lot of TLC. We're over due and here's how I know. Remnants of Thursday's Mac and Cheese dinner is stuck under Jakey's chair. Today is Tuesday. My sock literally almost came off my foot when I stepped in some unknown sticky substance. I'm thinking it's jelly. Three people in my house wear shoes, yet there are seven pairs of shoes surrounding the perimeter of the kitchen The dust bunnies seem to growing larger every day - and they look mean! If I walk barefoot in the kitchen, something always sticks to the bottom of my foot. (and it's usually sharp!) If I wipe a spot on the floor with a white paper towel, the paper towel is no longer white It's not uncommon to find small dried up pieces of play-doh, slivers of cut up paper or extra pieces of pipe cleaner. I need to support the budding artist. Here's the crazy part - I actually don't mind mopping. There's just never a right time because mopping the kitchen means closing down the heart of the house. We do everything here ranging from eating, to art projects, to playing board games and playing on the computer. I also rely on my iPod. I find anything is bearable if I have some music in my ear and the mindset that I'm burning calories. That's right, I trick myself into thinking it counts as a work out. Hey, whatever works. So I predict that this week my kitchen floor will be sparkling clean...at least until the next round of mac and cheese is served.

I HATE moping! Sadly, so does everyone els in my house. You know what that =. A "mom job." I like the new Mr. Clean Magic Eraser mop. I've tried everything. I'm saving for a scuba (Roomba that mops). My floor is revolting. I need to mop too!

I have to say that I enjoy moping only because it is one of the house chores that seems a bit rewarding for a little while... everyone notices especially me and it really shows when the job is done. it is that laundry that is daunting.. it never ends and I never seem to find a place to put the clean laundry except the basket.. hahaah..
