Land Of Sensible Enjoyable Reality-based Sweethearts.-AKA The "LOSERS" come on in!

Cleancom 1---Mother In Law (before you were married) Clean
Cleancom 2---Houseguest Clean
Cleancom 3---Company Clean
Cleancom 4---Routine nothing on the floor Clean
Cleancom 5---Cluttered but Clean
Cleancom 6---Not Clean
Cleancom 7---Heading Down the Toilet
Cleancom 8---No one sets foot in the house other than immediate family
Cleancom 9---Crazy Cat Lady Dirty
Cleancom 10---Condemed

So where are you?

I'm at Cleancom 6 right now and I have to get it to 3

You need a level in there that's "clean but children and pets are present".

Which is something of a paradox, much like quantum physics. It's really like there are two conditions at once, both clean and dirty and both are equally true.

Hey have you been MIA the last couple days or just quiet? I havent notice you posting.

MIA and not posting. Though I did start a thread yesterday, I think. Aliases. My threads have been boring even to me lately.

 

[LaraK]

Hmmmm....you have a point JJ...but would that create a paradox or just really wear out the "Cleancom" machine...you pick stuff up...kids trash it....you pick it up....kids trash it. The machine would be going 3-4-5-4-3-4-5-4-3

ahhh you are just in a thread slump, it will pick up I am sure

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

I think I'm somewhere around 5. If I can get all the dirty clothes to the laundry room and scrub the floors, I could actually make it to number 3.

No, wait, that would also involve cleaning the toilet, and I'm not up for that.

 

[It's A Happy Day]

Morning!

Well, I'm off to do something today, I'll say what in the lounge. I may be in and out. My dad is in town. Thankfully he stays in a hotel, so while I have to get my house company clean this afternoon, it doesn't have to be houseguest clean.

We should start a thread about "levels of clean". Wouldn't it be cool to have an indicator? "What level of clean do you maintain your house at?"

You need to add a "the main SEEABLE areas are a 3 but do NOT open a bedroom door, go upstairs, or open a closet because they are a 7 due to the fact that I had no time to get the whole house a 3 and shoveled everything there!"

Hey Losers....


A quick question for you all..... tomorrow is Read Across America Day at my Daughter's school. I have been asked to read a book tomorrow morning in their classes.

Do you think "Walter the Farting Dog" is appropriate for kindergardeners?



No. Seriously. Thoughts?

You're probably already past the point of no return on your choice, but my son's favorites include: If You Give A Mouse A Cookie (I can recite that one by heart), Rooster Can't **** A Doodle Do, The Emperor's New Clothes (mainly because it involves being nekkid and he thinks nekkid is funny), The Scrambled States of America, If You Give A Pig A Pancake, and The Little Engine That Could.

I now have to go buy Walter the Farting Dog.

Morning LOSERS!!

FWIW - I think reading the farting frog book would be great!! But what do I know.

My house is somewhere in all those. I have a little clutter, mostly here around the computer and in an area of the lower level family room that no one but us usually comes into. I have cleaned the bathrooms and dusted this week, but haven't done the floors. I intended to yesterday, but was going to the chiro for that darn one spot on my lower back that's been hurting for a month - I did go two weeks ago, but it still hurt. I finally procrastinated long enough that I didn't do it.

I did however go and register the minivan we bought about 3 weeks ago.

No big plans for today, but tonight is my friend's going away party.

 

[LUVMYTINK]

Ugh need lots and lots of coffee.

Getting the twosome ready for daycare & then I'm off to the commissary by MYSELF
If I get back early enough before I have to pick them up from daycare I'm thinking of taking a nap...........................oh who am I kidding I'll probably end up Dis-ing.

So where are you?

I'm at Cleancom 6 right now and I have to get it to 3

Mine is somewhere around 4 or 5, but with a little effort I can get to 3--at least downstairs. It only stays clean until the kids and hubby come home and leave stuff everywhere--then they leave again and there are 3-4 pairs of shoes by the front door.

My DD's room ranges from 7-8. We are currently having a battle of wills: the vacuum shows up in her room at night while she's sleeping and it gets ignored or put back in my room by morning. If it goes on too long, she will get to where she doesn't eat until it's clean or something drastic like that. She loves food so it'll get done. Sometimes (don't tell her) I actually feel sorry for her. School all day, swim 2-2 1/2 hours, come home, do homework, eat and go to bed--doesn't leave her much free time

 

[Lintasare]

The living and dining room in my apartment is around a 5. My bedroom varies between a 7 and a 9, depending on when laundry day is.

I'd say I'm at a 4 right now..... but only because my husband cleaned the house while DDs and I were gone for 10 days and we really haven't been home much since

 

[Mkrop]

I love the If You Give Series, Mouse A Cookie, Pig a Pancake. Also Click Clack Moo Cows that Type was always big.

Walter the farting dog update:

Didn't read the book, but I brought it for the teacher to read. She laughed when I showed her the title. Read "Horton Hatches the Egg" instead... it was $5 at Kohls, and I donated it to their classroom afterwards.

BUT - this is the embarrassing part. It's pajama day at DT's school, and I thought I would be cute and wear my PJs, bunny slippers, and a scrunchie. Yes, that's right.... 1992 lent me their fashion statement and I wore a scrunchie in my hair.

So, I sat down in one of the little kiddie chairs to wait for my turn to read, and I threw my back out. Completely. I almost had to be helped to my car it was so bad.

DH was at a meeting and my back hurts so bad that I was afraid I couldn't push the gas or brake pedals.

I called him out of my meeting to plead for a ride home. Of course, the VP of the company has flown in for this meeting, so he really can't come rescue me. He said, "dear, why don't you just call a cab". My response? "Hello...?? Did you not just hear what I am saying? The cab driver would have to pick me up in front of the school and I am in my PJ's, bunny slippers and all, wearing a SCRUNCHIE. "

I mean, c'mon. I do have some pride.

See, now I'm the opposite...I feel like the less we're home, the messier the house gets.

I guess that's because we do drive by's. Come home late, grab something to eat, leave the dishes in the sink, and then hit the hay.

Eventually, you have no clean dishes left, and no clean laundry.

[1Prince2Princesses]

I love the Cleancom meter!

My little ones are like miniature tasmanian devils. My house can go from a 2 to a 7 in one hour.

I think my house has only been at a 1 twice, when my beast-in-law was coming to visit. The first time she insisted that something smelled funny the entire time she was there, and determined it must be the paint on the walls. The second time she inspected the dishes in my cabinet and pulled out any that looked like they might need to be rewashed (they were all clean, and the woman is a loon.)

Okay, it isn't funny about you throwing your back out. I've been there and

BUT, picturing you in your pjs and bunny slippers trying to figure out how to get home...
