Cleaning Chaos

Cleaning a house with children present is like rebuilding a house during a tornado.

I have just spent 6 hours cleaning only to go back and redo certain tasks because my son decided to dump all his Mega Blocks on the living room floor.

I think the neighbors heard me yelling, “No! No!Darn it! Pick those up, Doodlebug!” I have to remember not to say naughty words around him, and I felt guilty saying “darn”.

Needless to say, I eventually laid the Bug down for a nap and finished the rest of my chores. Even my husband helped. He mopped the kitchen and dining room floors for me and I am very thankful.

I’m tired and sore now, I think I’m going to take a nap myself.
