teeny details
I think this e-mail is about OCD-obsessive compulsive disorder-but in my case it puts order to this cleaning frenzy. For instance, this morning I'm mopping the kitchen floors. The family was here for dinner last night and I guess there were a few "thrills and spills" where the kids sat. It is taking me 3 of those sheets on the mop, plus I'm disposing a sponge with the green scratchy stuff on the back. There are some spots on the wood floor that I didn't know if they were the knots in the wood, or stuff that was stuck on the floors! Drops of stuff here and there, they look suspiciously like COFFEE!! Of course, that leads to spot cleaning on the carpets, and once you have the cleaner out you may as well do the upholstery on the dining room chairs. It's endless, I tell you.
There are two drips on the oven door--INSIDE? Nope! OUTSIDE? Nope! Those drips found their way to live IN-BETWEEN the glass panels on the door--and they are the kind that start at the top of the panel and drip their sassy selves down the glass!
While I was vacuuming carpets I noticed the baseboards are dusty. Then I looked up the walls at the dust in the cobwebs?? I see the patched holes where SOMEONE didn't measure correctly when hanging the crtain rods. I think that time it was ME. They will need to have touch up paint. And we don't even wanna talk about having the scenery look better through clean, shiny, spotless and streakless windows. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
I know I'm in this mess because I don't have the time, I don't make the time to spiffy clean daily, weekly or even monthly! Well, the realtors should be here in an hour and the way things are going, I won't be finished with the weeding outside, I'll be happy if all the INSIDE work is done! I've been at it since 6:30!! Now to the bathrooms! Know a good cleaning service?? I'd need to clean before they come!
Oh, Mr. Long, the house looks better now, just give us a call and come visit!!! You don't need to look at the rooms through photos on the real estate sites!! It can be a trade--take Wes for a ride in the Magnum! I'll bake some cookies!!!
