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

[shellstewart]

when you get home from a 5 night in a row stent at the hospital (i'm a night shift nurse) and the 10 year old has decided to do the dishes and the kitchen smells, and you know this because you can smell it when you walk in the door on the other side of the house....

I live in "fake clean" house. Oh sure, the floors all look like they are vacuumed everyday, and there is nothing out of place, but look closely. You can't open a closet door without things falling out on you, there are piles of stuff behind the couch to keep the cats out of there, there are dishes in the oven and microwave, my brother has to keep his door closed when people come over, all the clean clothes just stay in the laundry basket in the basement, we just go down everyday and pick our outfit out. And the big one, we replaced all of our carpeting to match the dog hair. We stained all the wood floors dark so that your can't see it. All the carpeting is a dark berber, so that the black and brown dog hair does not look out of place.

Oh, when you pick your cats based on your floor color so that their hair matches.

I'm going to show this thread to my mom.... It will make her feel better....

When the air conditioner kicks on and large dust puppies ( from the shedding dog ) roll out from every corner.

When the cat sneezes every time she gets near the dusty drapes.

When your kid comes over and asks "are you saving these soda bottles for anything" and you answer "no I have just not taken out the recycling this week".

When you try to log onto BYC to post a reply to this thread only to discover that since you are newish here you cannot remember your log in and cannot find it under all the filing sitting all over the desk.

(It took me 20 minutes to find the log in and there is still a huge stack of paper waiting. File or shred? I say SHRED!)

Hard to keep up this time of year.

You know it's time to clean house when you walk in the "mud room" over a pile of clothes and land on eggs that were bound for the incubator, all 40 of them and on top of crushing the eggs, you twist your ankle and bruise your elbow and are late to the doctor's office because you need a shower. I was asked by the nurse how I was feeling and I said " I crushed my eggs and now I'll never have my babies, I feel so bad about it!".....She pulls out her thermometer and says maybe we should take your temperature again.....She's gone out of the room for a very long time and brings in another nurse and says to me, will you please tell us about the eggs again???? Yup it's time to clean house AND find a new doctor.....

Well, I would say I'm famous in this small town I call home, but I think I'm infamous!!!!!! Well, my mother once told me never to take myself too seriously and I don't know....I love a good laugh and usually I provide that to myself on a regular basis!

When packing to move, you find boxes still packed from a move in 94, I think, with 13 moves since then, not including this one.

When you cannot enter a contest for how dirty your sock looks after Swiftering your house, because All your socks are dirty, in fact when you wear them outside you get less dirt on them than when you wear them inside the house.

When your fingernail polish has bunny hair in it and is located in the bunny pen, because you lost the bunny tags.

When you are nominated for the TV show "animals hoarder" because there are animals on the porch , in the house, hanging from the carport and you are running an infirmary in one of the bath rooms.

When housekeepers walk in turn around and say "No Way"....

Well, dirt is necessary to build a healthy immunity I've heard!

AS my daughter has always said - "God made dirt, dirt don't hurt"
But you know it's time, when you have lost a pack of dried corn
in the cabinet, and the only reason you know it, is when the moths
start hatching out! AAARRRGGG
