Week 10 -- Prompt

Doesn't matter where you begin, you'll end up back here.................

What a cluttered mess.... Laundry piled up, dirty dishes in the sink, papers and books everywhere. Floors need sweeping, rugs need vacuuming, bathroom needs cleaning. Oh Lordy, where does one begin. Cat and dog hair everywhere, doesn't matter how much you brush them it seems, that it is never enough. Wonder how they can have any hair left on their bodies. Clean, pick up, sweep and vacuum never an end. 

House is quiet and everyone except myself the dogs and cats are gone until Monday. Guess to start with the bathroom. Dirty clothes piled high, shower stall with soap scum and hair all over it. The cats litter box needs cleaning and oh my are they messy litter all over the floor around the box. Well, I'll get started. Spray down the shower stall with a spray can of scrubbing bubbles, let it sit a few minutes while I spray windex on the mirror to clean it. Off to start a load of laundry, get some of this pile knocked down a little. Clean the toilet, what a shitty job, but someone has to do it. The bubbles in the shower stall have turned to liquid and running down the walls, guess I'd better get it washed off. Vanity and water faucets sparkling clean. Sweep and wash the floor. 

Clothes into the dryer, grab a fabric softener sheet from the box. Put the clothes that are all folder on top of the dryer into the bedrooms of whom they belong. Bedrooms of teenagers, oh my god what a figgin mess. Oh well they will have to deal with that when they get home. Close the door, don't have to look at it. Vacuum the hallway and down the stairs. Carpeted stairs, boy do they collect a lot of cat hair. Anyway, gone now and looks good.

Why is it easier to throw a coat over a chair than it is to hang it in the coat closet? Everyone in this house does it, even me. Imagine, bitching about something that you do yourself, doesn't make sense does it. Spraying endust and wiping off the stands, amazing how so much dust accumulates. Picking up papers and books. Vacuuming the cat and dog hair off the couch and chairs. Sweep and wash the living room floor. Things are starting to take shape now. 

Dining room table seems to be a catch all...... mail, school papers, empty glasses, just what ever you have in your hand at the time. Sliding glass door surprised you can even see out through it. Dog and cat nose prints and slobber everywhere, fingerprints you name it is there. A little windex and paper towel will take care of that though. Baseboard hot water heat oh how it gathers hair, dust and dirt underneath them. Okay gone for this time around. Wii games, movies and books all back where they belong. Plants watered, they are happy now. Things are looking up.

Dishes rinsed and in the dishwasher. Pots and pans washed and in the strainer to dry. Holy shit look at the grease and spills on the stove. Guess it is time to break out the liquid degreaser for this mess. Well, it didn't take as long or as much work as I thought it would when I started. Putting things away and clearing off the counters. Done....now to wipe them down and make them sparkle. Finish sweeping the floor and then to wash it. Wow!!!!!!!!!!! house looks and smells good. 

Guess what????????????Doesn't matter where you begin cleaning, You will always end up back there doing the same things again. NEVER ENDING BATTLE......................................
