The Heart of the Matter....

I do not know who is in charge of keeping my house clean, but whomever she is SHE should have been fired a long time ago. I think that firing her would be a good idea but before I could fire she apparently she quit! And by SHE I mean clearly me! Yep I quit, I do not recall the quit date but I do know that no one has picked up where I left off.

We all know tat htat kitchen is the heart of the home. The heart of my home bleeds DIRT. Just homemade dog fur, boy dirt and man dirt, certainly NOT me dirt! I have spent the past 3 hours slaving away at cleaning my kitchen. I never understood why when my mom cleaned she had to make a mess to clean then clean the mess up and then the original dirt as well. Now I get it. To the Interior Designer out there that thought that WHITE kitchen cabinets was "en vogue", can come and clean my boy stained, finger printed white cabinets! I am beginning to resign to the fact that my wonderful white pillars are merely speed bumps for the many males that run thru my house.

As I write, I am sitting in my toy laddened living room- messy un vacuumed, and dusty, I am listening to Martha Stewart talk for 15 minutes about potting soil. I feel even worse about myself. If I can pull myself from my low self esteem, un-Martha Stewart self, I shall go up stairs in my craft room. I will attempt to be creative in my most under achieving self, complete with boy dirt from my white kitchen cabinets under my fingernails whom have not ever had a proper manicure.

Thank God that I am having an event at my house on Saturday. I cannot wait to clean the rest of my castle!

I totally feel for you. We now have 2 dogs, so double the "fur"...*GAG*. I hope you have fun in your craft room, find some music and just get crafty! I think I'll go do the same and run far away from the laundry, dishes, dirt and fur!
