Clean Floor

Thursday I committed to clean the house from top to bottom! I have a thing about my kitchen floor so I spent an hour scrubbing and mopping it until the glair was blinding. Hungry from all my hard work I decided to have a little hummus and carrots. Evidently my hands were still a bit slippery from all the scrubbing and the Tupperware fell from my hands. At that moment I saw in the recesses of my mind my mom's Tupperware representative saying to me "if you had spent the money on the real Tupperware you would not have hummus all over your floor." The cheepo throwaway Tupperware was broken with all of my homemade hummus shlooping out all over my gleaming floor! (I think I may have used two words that are not actually words in that last sentence.) At that moment I decided to not just wipe up, but to restore the floor back to the former glory it was just in. I finished up around 3:00pm and sat down for a tasty cookie (forget the health food, I needed real comfort). At 3:10pm my daughter walked in from her bus ride home from school. I gave her a big hug in the kitchen by the refrigerator, she grumbled that her stomach hurt and then just as I stood up she barfed all over the floor, fridge, and cupboards.
Many of you who know me well, know that I have always struggled to be a neat and tidy person.
People... this is why!!! Life really does not go well for me in this department.
At 3:20 I really did not give a damn if my floor gleamed. While I was deep in recycled PB and J I had an epiphany... I am NO 50's wife!
