Rules

I have decided to implement new house rules...they are as follows:

1. There will be no more eating in our house. If there is food there will inevitably be a mess for me to clean up (dishes, highchair, oven, etc....)

2. There will be no more changing clothes...ever. That will create laundry for me to do. Hope you are happy in what you are currently wearing :)

3. There will be no more playing in our house. No more toys to step on, clean up or find bits of around (Crash).

4. You may not use the bathroom under ANY circumstance. No potty. No shower. No teeth brushing. In order to keep it clean just STAY AWAY!!!

5. Sleeping is prohibited also. That would require me to wash and dry sheets.
6. Lastly there will be no coming and going. That would track dirt, hair, leaves and any other unwanted substance on my freshly vaccuumed/mopped floors!

Sooo what can you do at my house. Its simple really. Just sit breathing quietly on my newly vaccuumed couch with your hands in your lap! If you feel the need to break any of the preceding rules you are free to leave. Reminder...once gone you are not welcome back...see rule 6. LOL!!!!

Obviously I was joking....but please tell me other mom's/wifes/people have felt this way too! I spend so much time cleaning during the day only to find I have to cook supper and make MORE dishes to clean. I do the laundry to turn around and have a new pile to wash. Don't get me wrong I have a very helpful husband and all...but just once I would love to clean my entire house without seeing it covered in dog hair, shoes, toys, dishes and clothes a few short hours later!

But the good news is a messy house means memories are being made, lives are being lived and when it is all said and done...its only wood, plaster and carpet. Who cares...a house is more than that. It is love, friendship and MESSES!!!!!
