I learned something today....

I learned that we are slobs.  Maybe some of you already knew that and are happy that we have now come to this conclusion ourselves as it has saved you an awkward conversation!  We are completely out of the Huxley house.  I spent ALL day cleaning it and I didn't even  have to do the bathrooms- I did those yesterday!  I had a few friends watching kids and as I dropped them off I said- I am just going to go clean today- I should only be a few hours!! HA HA HA!  The floors were horrible and took more than a few passes of the cleaner AND then spot cleaned on my hands and knees and then a few more passes of the cleaner.... granted that was only in 1 room and the others were just mostly gross.  After cleaning downstairs I glumly walked upstairs knowing that there was a toothpaste mess in the TV room.  That's right, toothpaste blue toothpaste. The kids who tattle if someone breathes their air watched the baby do a little artwork on the carpet with toothpaste as his "medium". nice.   ANYWAY unbeknownst to me a friend who was over yesterday cleaned it up for me!  Amy--I LOVE YOU!!  that's right, I dropped the "L" bomb.  Anyone who cleans up toothpaste and soil....(yeah, that was the other mess- Harrison had a cup of grass growing in his window sill and it tipped and was smeared into the carpet--his way of cleaning it up)  gets the "L" bomb.  ANYWAY 7 hours later the walls still aren't clean.

We have friends who don't let anyone touch their walls....I used to think that was a bit much, but after today I think that we are going to adopt that little rule.  My "magic" erasure today was paint.  The walls were painted with flat paint.  flat flat flat.  Flat yellow, flat darker yellow and flat white.  White in the stairwell and the hallway.  Really????  Yeah, there is no way to clean that except with paint.

So sorry- no pics today, just a really long and ranting post BUT get ready for some kitchen news and pics in the next few days-
