Day 65: Cleaning, Cleaning, & More Cleaning.

Been really slack a lacking lately so the house got to be a bit of a mess. And of course I have to get it "company" ready. Nobody in this house can clean like I can clean. I take my time, and get in all the nooks & crannies, and wipe everything down, organize, sort, ect, ect. Everyone else just picks up, and throws it wherever. Sure it's clean, but........LOL I think everything should have it's place. I can't wait for Spring to get here because I am purging this house!! I think it always looks messy but it's not, it's just clutter that makes it look messy. Now I have never really been this big of a clean freak until I had kids. When I was a kid, my room was a MESS!!! I was always told that pigs lived better than I did...hahaha!! And now it's that karma that you're parents throw your way. My kids are not tidy AT ALL!! Can you guess what I tell my kids?! LOL!!! Payback is a bitch, and I have it X5!! I cleaned the basement & it looks marvelous!! Just have to get the laundry area cleaned up, and then it's upstairs cleaning. The boys' are having birthday's next week, and they are just having some friends over to hang out. They are now at the age where they don't want to have a birthday party, so I suggested having their friends to come over to eat & hang out. They want sub & blt sandwiches, and my homemade mac n cheese. I'm going to make cupcakes whether they like it or not, Kyle wants pie so I'm sure I will have that too. I asked if we could do Pin The Tail On The Donkey, that was shot down. I asked about a piñata, that was shot down. Hahaha!! I really did think the piñata would be fun.

I made this sign. I don't have high hopes, heck I don't even think they will see it if I did print it out! I shall have them all over my house as a reminder. :D And yes, I know that a clean house isn't important. Always will be a mess, but babies never stay little. I get that. But having a clean house is important to me. I say that because everything I say usually gets taken the wrong way, or seen the wrong way. I don't care if your house is a mess, I won't judge. Not my circus, not my monkeys. But I feel that YOU judge MY house when it's not in tip top shape. That is all.

P.S. I DO appreciate the help my family does give me when cleaning. Even if I hate the way Frank folds the towels, or pants.....I still appreciate that very much.
