Your anniversary is coming up, and instead of dreaming about diamonds or exotic vacations, you just really want the whole house to be cleaned from top to bottom.
Haha. My mom and dad taught me a rule to live by: Chinese Firedrill (probably totally un-pc). When we were little, they would put us to bed and then run around the house and pick up everything from where it didn't belong. They said it took 10-15 minutes max with the two of them, and they could enjoy the hours that we were asleep because they didn't have to worry about the mess. We try to do this, and it's kind of fun to see who can get things picked up first, and then to spend the night not worrying about it.

ReplyDeleteAmen sister, Amen! Or if you're like me, all you want is to sleep in an extra hour!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth. So true, so true. It would be even better if it stayed clean for at least a week.
