just a little light cleaning

Aug 07, 2006 20:21

My parents are coming into town tomorrow. Yippee. And i do mean that enthusiastically not sarcastically. I love my parents and i wish they lived closer.

That being said, i did what every good daughter does before her mother comes into town.... i went on a massive cleaning binge. Now... my parents house.... not clean. I mean it isnt disgusting, but they have 2 dogs (2 BIG dogs), busy lives, the whole yards. It isnt a pigsty and my mom cleans regularly, but it's a lived in house. Would my mom or dad for that matter have cared that the dining room carpet had cat hair on it? Considering the only thing in the dining room is that carpet and an armoire... probably not. Would she care that i had some dust bunnies in the corners or that my stairs hadnt been vaccummed in who know how long? Probably not. This is because i run a fairly neat home. I try to sweep once a week. I dust once a week. I do laundry about daily. You get the picture. but yet, in the need to prove to my mother that i can be a supermom... i clean.

I vaccummed the carpet in the dining room. It looked nice. I went around the room with the extra attachment sucking up any lurking dust bunnies from when i swept. That looked nice. Then i thought "ooo... dust bunnies may be lurking underneath the armoire!". Would my mother have gotten down on her hands and knees to check. no. Some mothers... maybe, but mine, no. Nevertheless, i get down on my hands and knees with the vaccum attachment to rid myself of the bunnies. And do you know what i did???

I VACCUMMED UP MY HAIR!

I'm not kidding. But not with the attachment, oh no ho ho. My hair got sucked up into my high powered vaccumm. I scrambled to get eh thing shut off and i ripped the cord out of the wall. Greg, meanwhile is entertaining Jack in the other room. Now i tried to be quiet. I thought somehow i could untangle my hair and be free of the mess and he'd never have to know what his idiot wife did this time. Needless to say after about 10 minutes i wasnt getting anywhere. So i pick up the whole vaccum and get into the kitchen to get scissors. Just as i'm trying to cut myself loose he walks in and starts dying laughing. He ran to get his camera but i freaked out and said there was a reason i was trying to keep it from him. So he didnt take the picture. Now that i have a chunk of hair missing it all is pretty funny so i wish i did have that picture. *sigh* oh well. I'll just sit here with my throbbing head instead.
