Mopping

“My idea of superwoman is

someone who scrubs her own floors.”
―Bette Midler

So last night, we were watching the news and a commercial came on about Swiffer's new and improved floor mopping system . . . I am sure you have seen them . . . and I thought

"I really should check that out. Doesn't it look like it would really work . . ."

then I started chuckling. When swiffer first came out, I lusted after it. I really, really wanted it. I bought it and it was just such a disappointment.

When the kids were little (and trust me, since the age spread of my kids is almost 16 years, I had little kids FOREVER), I would damp mop on a regular basis.

I remember that my Mom used to wash our kitchen and dining room floors on a regular basis (at least once a week . . . and often more often than that). My kitchen and dining room floors (ceramic tile) are lucky if they get fully washed three or four times a year. We do spot cleaning and sweeping and vacuuming, but never enough that my kids are going to remember that I washed the floors every week or even every month. Generally, it has gotten to the point where the floors get washed AFTER we have a picnic or party.

I am such a slob.
