The Most Important Rule of Having a Clean House

We had a huge party over the weekend, so the hubby convinced me to splurge on hiring someone to come in and clean the house. And we did. And it was beautiful. And peaceful. And wonderful.

And then all the children came home.

You know what that means?

1. The boys immediately went tornado on their playroom.

2. Buttercup pooped in the freshly cleaned bathtub. (Twice.)

3. Hubby had a coffee mishap.

4. I spilled pork grease all over the floor.

5. Munchkin got sick in the middle of the night.

6. One of the cats had a hairball.

7. Don’t ask about the Sunday morning Cheerios.

8. Seriously, Buttercup, we buy tissues to wipe your nose. You don’t have to use the couch.

9. “Honey? Do you know where all my giveaway boxes went?” (I found them. If you won a prize from me with the MR. GOOD ENOUGH Launch Week activities, it’s safely on its way, I promise.)

10. Squeaker missed the toilet.

The most important rule of having a clean house? Don’t expect it to stay clean for long. That’s all in an hour’s work for a family of five. Happy Wednesday! Wishing you a clean house, well-behaved children, and a good book to read!
