December 10: P.S.

So after the last post, I took the "cleaning up our act" bit a step further and decided to spend a little time cleaning the house. I put in a load of laundry (a certain shower curtain and a bathroom rug needed to be laundered...) and decided to clean for the length of the load of laundry. Sadly enough for me, the load was set for 90 minutes. Well, it is *amazing* how nice our house can look after 90 minutes of diligent cleaning. I think I'm going to do three more 90-minute cleans over the next two days. I think I can get the two front closets and the laundry scoured, as well as the kitchen pantry and cupboards done. Then... ugh... onto the toy room. That will easily take 90 minutes. Perhaps more...
