Ok, I do clean my house, really I do. But, usually it's a quick "clean if people can see it" type of deal. You know, dust, run the sweeper, straighten up the kitchen, sweep and mop, pick up clothes...the everyday type of thing. Ok, vaccuum and mopping probably aren't everyday...and well, dusting isn't either..ok, so I'm a terrible housekeeper. I'll admit that!
But, there are a few rooms that just get the door closed if company comes over. One, is our bedroom..the other is the spare bedroom where my computer is. Well, we found out this afternoon we're getting company Wednesday and he needs the guest room. Yep...it's the mad dash and OMG. I had boxes stacked (that the cats got into and tore up), dust an inch thick, so much dog hair I honestly thought we had another pet! I FINALLY got everything gone through, put away, dusted (I can actually see my computer screen now...woohoo!) and vaccuumed. Now, all I have to do tomorrow is scrub the carpet, put clean sheets on the bed...and clean the rest of the house, right? Yeah, right.
I walked out of the room for dinner and forgot to close the door, and came back in and Brooke (our long haired dog) laying in the middle of the floor, scratching, and dog hair flying everywhere again! It literally doesn't look like I vaccuumed at all..tuffs of white hair everywhere (she is still shedding
) And it had only been 1 hour!! Then Harley decided to gorge on dinner again, play, and came in and puked right on the bed (luckily the mattress pad was still on, but still.....
So, my question is...why bother? With 6 cats and 4 dogs it's impossible to keep a clean house! DH and I both work full time (with 1 hr commute one way) and I don't have the time or the energy to do this every day! I'm just frustrated tonight. I don't know how you people with pets and kids do it! I wouldn't give my pets up for the world...but catch me in the right mood (like now) I would seriously consider it!
