As we prepare to get the house ready for showing - I am amazed at how great it felt to have the entire house clean at the same time. (Thanks be to my Fallon and Anita.)
Some of the pictures made it out to
www.flickr.com/djnkpeteAt the same time, I realize that since it is
soooo clean, the temptation to mess it up must be a terrible. Newly painted walls, freshly moopped floors, sparkling bathroom mirrors...
Less than 24 hours later:
- Dog pooped by the back door (she's only had one other accident like that on the 2
nd or 3rd day that we had her)
- One of the sisters squeezed a plastic cup full of orange juice during "kitchen clean-up"...covering the length of the kitchen,
including the new kitchen rugs !- Claire is driving hot wheels on the walls and dragging the broom along same said walls
- muddy paw prints from the back door, through the kitchen, to the clean laundry room
- and we've changed clothes twice -
jammies and then clothes today - guess how much of that made it into ANY laundry basket
- sliding glass door is full of finger prints, smudged hands and is that noses?
If it weren't "supposed" to be clean, I might not feel so
aggravated.
Glad we are leaving on Friday. The buyer better show up while we are gone!
Now I've got to go rouse my peeps to head for the goal set before us(new house)
...and maybe bribe them.
a black dog...
snails...
