my bathrooms/my job, a photo essay
Here sit the cleaning supplies...

Here are the pages from my calendar.

Monday was not too terribly bad. I had time to think between things. I also had some time to work on that whole eating thing.
The bathroom?
Also not too bad.
Tuesday was slightly more complicated.

Did I wash the floor in the downstairs bathroom when I got home?
What do you think?


I did! I thought about the tile, upstairs, at about 1:30. And then I dismissed it.

Thursday looks deceptively quiet, doesn't it?


It didn't matter. I had to watch Survivor AND BLOG ABOUT IT.
I don't have a picture of that.
I'd like to tell you that Friday was easier...

and that I did, in fact, think about grout. But the truth of it is: arranging the conference call sapped me of all physical and psychological strength.
To sum up: a busy week - a dirty bathroom.

Speaking of showers...I.Want.Your.Shower
You could have a party in there!
In a perfect world, I'd have a floor covered with those with a ginormous claw foot tub on top of them. With one of those copper tube rings suspended from the ceiling for the shower curtain.

And Laundry. Who could fuck up towels? Put in on their list.
And stop feeling guilty about not being there to do it. Remind them you did it for 23 years - they were lucky to have you home for so, so long. Now it's time to help with the living space.
2. I don't even have a job and I put off bathroom cleaning on a regular basis. Yet, somehow, we survive.
3. It takes money to make money. And sometimes it takes money to save your sanity. If the kids won't clean, hire a pro to help you out once a week. You absolutely deserve the peace of mind, sweetie!
Now, if only someone had warned me off of dark wood floors, my floor problems would be over...

Spray the walls with Fantastik with bleach (blue label). Let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse walls with hot water. Voila! They look much, much less skeevy and I feel much, much less like a slacker.
Youngest can totally wash towels and Middle can do whites if you sort them first.
Go easy on yourself and just run a load of towels.
1) learn to eat
2) learn to delegate
It's for your own good.
