Domestic mayhem
I have decided this week is spring cleaning week for this house. What I mean by spring cleaning is wash down every wall, every ceiling, every surface, dejunk every closet and drawer, find homes for the orphans and part with the unloved. I do a fairly frequent dejunking around here,but since we moved in here I have never done the wall washing thing. I have a twisted confession- it is something I actually love doing. I love the way it smells afterwords, I love the way it looks and from an energy point of view it KICKS ASS !! So, for roughly 7 years I have skipped this twisted pleasure because of being too busy, but this year it gets done. I began at 6:30 am , and it is now 8:35am and after washing down two of the least dirty rooms , I have come down to certain conclusions
1. Housework ,if done correctly, can kill you
2. Bathroom walls are incredibly efficient dust catchers
3. Wearing rubber gloves is interesting to a teenage boy until it comes time to find the reasons why you are wearing them.
4. Baseboards are magnetic. I swear to God !
5. White walls can hide dirt well. By simply fading to a weird off white kind of color
6. The only thing more disgusting than bathroom dust is wet bathroom dust, which for the strong stomached in the world could double as a different sort of modeling compound.
7.Why did I have an owl figure perched on my bathroom door ? I am no friend to owls and they are no friends to me.
8. Wheat weavings, created for protection, are totally powerless when coated in dust.
9. Road salt and bathroom dust makes for a crunchy, disgusting mess that builds up behind a door.
10. It is amazing how dusty a room that uses so much water, steam, moisture and humidity can become .
And just think. i have not yet set foot in the kitchen , or the boy's room which is also known as The Black Hole of Calcutta or Bog of Eternal Stench. It's going to be an interesting week.
