You know it's time to clean house when.......

Quote:
When you haven't had anybody INSIDE the house for over a year, and panic whenever anybody suggest dropping by to pick up the dozen eggs they want. Oh NO, I'll bring them to work for you!

When the dogs stand on the back of the sofa to see over the piles of stuff in the living room.

When the cat, putting his paw on the tv screen, writes secret feline codes for world domination. And then turns away and his tail brushes the code off the screen.

When said cat brings in his kills and takes them to the shower to administer the coup de gras because the kitchen floor is too dirty for HIM to eat field mouse off of.

When the spider webs FALL down from the weight of the brooder dust accumulated on 'em.

When the ducks walk into the kitchen after the dogs pushed the porch screen door open, drink out of the dog water dish, and suddenly there are cleaner spots on the kitchen floor in the shape of webbed feet. Which tell you what the original color of the tile actually looks like.

When a chicken comes in the front door and jumps up on a small table, to look over the piles of stuff in the living room the dogs are standing on the sofa to see over, too.
 
Thank you. This thread inspired me to clean my living room, dining room and kitchen. And it only took me 3 hours...ugh. Thankfully I have minions to do my bidding. In other words, children. Oh yes.

I did wash all the dishes that were shoved in the oven though.
 
When your kids unfold laundry that was folded but not put away, forcing you to rewash all the clothes you spent 2 days on as your puppy has figured clothes on the floor is free to pee on! Now I have a huge pile of laundry in the bathroom, so not wanting to redo it!

My other pet peeve is finding out the fruit flies in the hallway came from a forgotten fruit in a backpack ewww! i swear this happens lots,not fun to deal with.
 
When you are more afraid of the rats and mice than they are of you!! My sister had this extra room in her place that she dubbed the storage room, piled ceiling high with boxes that needed to be gone through since the last move. You couldnt walk through that room if you tried. I offered to help her clean it up and she agreed, and everytime I went to empty one of the boxes, 100's of mice would come running out of them, some sitting on top of boxes just staring at me, others running underneath the door. I asked my sister where all the mice were running too and she said the kitchen to go get food. Totally disgusting! I offered to set up bait stations to catch them all and she started crying, telling me not to kill the babies, they were so cute! Is this for real? I then go into her kitchen to assess the population in there and must of been another 100 or so. They were not fazed when I opened the cupboards, and continued eating their way through her packages! She even asked me to throw the packages that they had already eaten into back into the "rat room" so the babies could eat! Rat poop everywhere! I never did return back to that house after that!

Does she know that those "cute" little beasties don't have any bladder control. This means that they are peeing continually as they scurry along. The poop can give you a virus that can and does kill a human. I hope that it is just herself, and not anyone else living with those conditions. The health department should be called for her own safety.

She did eventually move, and vector control ended up coming out there, it wasnt just confined to that one room either, they were in the walls and rafters too! All those boxes got tossed without even looking through them. From what I understand, they had to put a complete new roof on that house.

The more I think about this, the more I am realizing that this house wins. I didn't think that I could be grossed out, but this does it for me. I don't care how cute they are. They can't live in the house with me. I am not afraid of them but there is a difference between its time to clean up and scary it will kill the children dirty.
