All You Moms of Boys...
As I'm at home cleaning the house so babysitters can come tonight, I had a couple of thoughts. I was wondering if there are any of you out there who experience these funny things:
1. I have to scrub down and sanitize the ACTUAL SOAP DISPENSER in the bathroom, because it is black with dirt and grime. How does that happen on a soap dispenser?
2. Sometimes I even get out "company soap". Has anyone ever heard of this? No kids are allowed to use it. It's sometimes called "adult soap". (sounds naughty, eh?)
3. Why do I find candy wrappers under the beds when we ate through our Halloween candy weeks ago? (I know what you are saying. "I can't believe she lets her kids eat candy in bed." FYI: I don't. :)
4. I wait until I see company DRIVE UP THE DRIVEWAY to wipe the yellow off the toilet. (and then I forbid any boy from going potty until they are gone.) :)
5. Even though I wipe the family table down at least 3 times a day, why do I need a power washer to get down to the wood before company comes? And have you EVER checked UNDERNEATH the table to see what is wiped there. unbelievable treasures.
6. All of Kenton's family has the cleanest washer & dryers I've ever seen. They look like they are in a showroom. Do any of you dust your washers and dryers?
7. Secretly, in an evil land all of my own, I take the vacuum cleaner to the kids room and vacuum up all those little piece of Legos and Playmobil on the floor.
8. Our favorite line in "Christmas Vacation" is "fixed the newelpost!" (sorry if you don't get that one)

OK, Our house has those problems and we have a 17 yr old and 3 yr old. Hmmm . . . top of the dryer is for storing lonely socks and dryer sheets, top of washer is for keeping open, ever ready for the next load. Fancy soap--yep, I take out new bars if the old ones look yucky. My messy bathroom trick is to put everything in the tub and close the shower curtain. There ya have it and I don't have a boy in the house at this time :o(
OK, not a mom to a boy - but I've got messes!
Toilet: never clean enough for my liking!
Kitchen table has become Lily's art table, so it will never be the same again.
I say a big fat "OH WELL!" We don't have much company, but the people who do come over just have to accept us and our home as is!
Right?
How about the handle to the fridge? BLACK! Or the knobs to the low cupboards? Door jams about waist level? I only have 1 boy-- but there is always pee on the potty. And the toothpaste that has been spit out--- why can't it make it down the drain? Hmmmm. xo e
OMW...I was cracking up...I'm scared to look under the table!
I agree with Stef, I am afraid to look under my table. I have pee on my toilet from Hannah (does not want to wipe) and Greg (yes he is 37). I'm sure it will get worse when Ethan starts using the toilet. Greg thinks that I should dust my dryer off all the time. I just ignore him. If I'm doing laundry it should not concern him. It doesn't look too bad. He will go into the laundry room and move things around. I hate it when he does this.
