Time To Clean House
I clean my house according to some simpleprinciples that are easy to remember:
1. If you have just stepped on something and dancedaround in pain until you slipped on a magazine, it is probably time topick up again.
2. If you find your scissors by feeling aroundyour dining room table until you feel something hard of the correct shape,it's time to clear off a few things.
3. If you need a gas mask to open your fridge,you might think about throwing away some of those leftovers.
4. If you drop your comb in the bathroom and youpick it up with more hair than is currently attached to your head, it'stime to sweep.
5. If the neighbors are circulating a petitionabout the state of your yard, you might consider cutting the grass - butonly if you've failed to buy them off with a doll dress or two.
6. When sorting paper, ask yourself if anyoneasked for it in the lasst six months (or the last time you sorted, whichevercomes later). If no one has, throw it out.
7. If your feet stick walking across the kitchenfloor, it's time to mop.
8. If it takes more than 20 minutes to find yourkids when you wake them up in the morning, it's time to have them cleantheir rooms - use new doll dresses or power ranger stuff as incentives
9. If you haven't seen the floor of your car fora week because of the Happy Meal litter on the floor and wash me is writtenin the dust on the outside of the car, it's time to take the hint. :o).
