My dear sweet mother is an angel. She spent ALL day Saturday helping me clean my house from top to bottom. I think we underestimated the project. Several hours into it we both had a hard time going on. We did get the whole main floor done and I have never seen my house so sparkly before. I just finished my bedroom this morning because it is on the second level and we just ran out of time on Saturday. I still have the basement to do. I ran out of time to clean out my office and Steve's office which are in the basement. They are major, majorly messy. It is very depressing and that is why they haven't been done yet. My house is supposed to be up for sale today. We'll see how that goes.
My most favorite new cleaning tool is Steve's shop vac. I will never clean without it again. When Zac and I were cleaning out and packing up his room, I used it to suck all the stuff out from under his bed and behind his dresser and shelf. It's like the best thing ever.
I am going to go out and buy my first mop today. WOO HOO! My mom talked me into it. You see, I have this mop phobia. I think they are nasty and disgusting. I can't bear to get it wet and then have to ring it out, or try and wash it when I am finished using it. I just hate to touch a mop. Period. So I have always used old towels because they are clean when I get them wet, I throw it on the floor, do the little mop-shimmy dance, throw it in the washing machine, voila! It's clean again. It is a lot of work doing the shimmy though, I have no carpet except in the 2 offices downstairs, so I have a lot of shimmying to do. I have been able to get over most of my phobias though, so I am giving this one a shot.
I gave away all my fat clothes and suddenly I have found myself, well, fat again. Oops.
As soon as I finish typing this I have to start cleaning my office. So.....anything else you want to know about? Really. I don't mind. I'll just sit here all day typing if you want me to. I have half a mind to just get a big trash bag and start filling it up. I don't care about anything anymore. I just want it done and over with. I am SICK of cleaning.
Oh, I know what will take some time. Maybe by the time I am done with this Addy will be awake and we can eat lunch. I have a new favorite Idol. It is:

(I couldn't find a video without the intro so skip to 1 minute15 seconds to see the performance)On the subject of American Idol, I am so glad that:
finally went home. I liked her at first, she kind of reminds me of Janice Joplin who sings my most favorite song ever, but I got really tired of her voice after a while.And I was also so glad that:
was in the bottom 3. I couldn't stand all the hype she got at the beginning, and I didn't think she was that much better than some of the other contestants.

Cleaning stinks! I likes that Amanda girl too, but I think she tried too hard to be a rocker type. That hair must go! She had a fun voice she should have run with it, and had fun. I like that David Cook too, but I think it might be his lips.
I hate Spring Cleaning, but I love the way I feel when it is done. Your mom sounds really great to help you all day!
That was very nice of mom to do. So when are you really putting your house on the market. You need to hurry before it gets messy!
My house looks like a hurricane ripped through it. We call our hurricane Matthewcane. He leaves a trail of destruction where ever he goes.
Too late. It's already messy.
I have the same mop phobias as you! I found a mop that uses microfiber mop pads that can be thrown in the washer/dryer so you have a clean mop every time you use it! It is made by Don Aslett (I found mine on QVC.com).
