Let me preface this with saying that I was one of those kids with a neat freak for a mom. I would leave my clothes on the bathroom floor after I took a shower and magically, they would appear washed and folded in my drawer the next day. I would leave a cup on the coffee and table and before I even took the first sip, it would be emptied, washed and back in the cabinet. I never cleaned, did laundry or cooked a meal until I was in college. Ok, so you're thinking "that's my story too, no big deal, you learn".
While I think I have a lot of things going for me, like, I can play a mean euphonium, make some kickin' sushi and I'm sure some other things I can' think of right now. I have to admit, housework is not one of them. Yes, in the last 5 years of home ownership, I have become pretty domesticated. I can operate a vacuum and was pretty darn excited when I got a Dyson, I now own a swiffer, and motherhood has definitely drop kicked me into discovering ways of cleaning up bodily fluids that I never thought I would. But, I have my flaws. I can't keep a flower alive for the life of me, change the oil (or anything else for that matter) in my car and I just recently learned how to operate a lawn mower. Ok, I know, you are thinking that this isn't unusual for a city girl.
But, people like me do get by in life don't they? I mean, people eventually tell them how to do things and they become successful. So, how come no one ever mentioned to me that using gel dish detergent in a dish washing maching was a no-no??
Ha ha ha! This looks like a scene from a sitcom.
