A Tale of 2 WAHMs

At least for me this is true. It seems whenever I go off to “clean”, I end up with a bigger mess than when I started. I’ve just come to the conclusion that I make bigger messes when I set out to clean.

Take yesterday for example. I went to clean the kitchen, but then the bread machine caught my eye. For those of you with bread machines, I’m sure you can relate to what I’m talking about. As soon as I saw it, I HAD to make bread. Especially since I came across this yummy Jalapeneo Chedder Bread recipe. Mmmmmm. So of course, I HAVE to start the bread before I start cleaning - the bread takes much longer (3 hours to be exact, but when you just toss in the ingredients and go it doesn’t get much easier than that).

By the time I’m done starting the bread I took a look around the kitchen - it’s now more messy then it was a few minutes ago! ACK!

Case number two - my desk. I’ll admit I’m somewhat of a lazy person. My desk has come to be the dumping ground for important papers, mail, or anything else I want to take a second look at some time in the future. Or things I take away from the kids. Or remotes. Ok so basically anything that leaves my hands seconds before I plop down in my chair, which is usually where you find me. When I tell people “my desk ate it”, I’m not kidding. In order to get the desk to “spit it up”, it usually spews papers and other crap all over the floor. I was looking for something on it the other day, and “cleaning” as I went. Again, I found myself with a bigger mess than when I started.

So I’m thinking, maybe I shouldn’t clean. Maybe if I do nothing the house will get better all on it’s own. I can dream, right?
