Multitasking

I think it's perfectly fine that at 10am this morning I was eating left over mashed potatoes, dancing, and cleaning the kitchen. I was much happier cleaning this way than the normal quiet & frustrated mood I usually am in when cleaning. - MP

Disinfect

Occasionally when my son's highchair tray is extremely dirty after a meal, I let my dogs lick it to get a head start on the cleaning. I'm going to sanitize the tray anyway!

Cleaning

I just vacuumed my son. That's right. I vacuumed my tot. I used the attachment to get all the hair I had just cut off. I'd say it works pretty well. Maybe I'll try it on the dog next. - MP

babysitter

I let my kids watch 2 hrs of tv today so I could clean the house before our guests arrive. - MP

It's Work People!

Wish people would understand that just because I'm home all day watching my son doesn't meant the house is going to always be spic and span. I'm working! - Christy S.

Busy

Feels like super-mom if I have put dishes away, started laundry, fed both kids, and blogged all by 930am! - Michelle P.

Sheets

forget going to the gym.. I work up a serious sweat changing crib sheets! - Amy A.

Tic Tac Toe

This week I found myself wearing the same shirt THREE days in a row...not because it wasn't dirty (I'm sure it had crusted food, boogers, etc on it) but because I just didn't want to add to the constantly growing pile of laundry in my closet... how pathetic is that? :) - Katy C.

Fake Out

My sister has three adult kids. When they were teens it was like pulling teeth to get them to help clean. Well, she passed away last month and as we were reminiscing her kids told me how she would call her home phone with her cell, have a pretend conversation and then get off the phone and say "Quick!!! Nana (me, Auntie was taken in our family and my name is rather hard for a kid to say) is coming over we gotta clean up!" The kids new that it took about an hour for me to get there so they would jump up and start cleaning and in one hour my sister would have a clean house. I guess she did it for years before her oldest figured it out and she confessed. Thank goodness her kids thought it was funny as heck. LOL - Angelique N.

Productive

If I have a pile of dirty dishes I wash them just before hubby gets home, so I can have a pjama day all morning. - Gracie C.
