The cat watching you... he he *grin* My house isn't any better, I also try to clean when people are comming over, especially my mom, otherwise she does the dishes or something. It makes me feel like a bad housekeeper. She just says she likes to help out, whatever. Every night before getting ready for bed we sing the "clean up" song...

I like it like that! Besides, we'll be moving soon enough. <BR/><BR/>The Kite Runner was awesome. I recommend it, Bek!

Frankly, that is how I feel too.<BR/><BR/>I had my inlaws over for dinner on Sunday (12 people in all). We spent the whole day cleaning.... picking up toys and making sure the sink was clear of all dishes (mine never really is..) etc. After it was all done, and before the company came, Derek and I remarked on how nice it was to sit in a house Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986054.post-1137545966306983902006-01-17T18:59:00.000-06:002006-01-17T18:59:00.000-06:00that's so funny.

Maybe I'm just too slow, but it takes me 15-20 minutes to mop my kitchen floor. And wiping out the sink is a great idea, if the sink were ever empty. We run 2 to 3 loads/day in the dishwasher and the sink is rarely empty. I wish you the best luck, I think I'm beyond hope :-)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145084270536215453noreply@blogger.com
