Hahaha, right?? (Is that a Wizard of Oz quote?) :thumbup:

Only if her little friends are also dogs. :cry_smile:

So is that likely?

I do clean them more if there has been something particularly nasty swept. And of course there are different brooms for different areas of the house to minimize potential cross-contamination. If you ever want to be really grossed out, swab your brooms and have them analyzed.

Walls and ceilings like every other surface get dirty - particularly if you have children and/or pets - the oils from their hands/fur touching the walls. AS for messing the paint, nope, you aren't scrubbing with a brush, just washing with a mild detergent solution. Twice a year. You would be amazed at the dirt...

Mom? Mom?? Is that you?

[MacMadame 81]

I never clean my brooms. By the time they get dirty enough to clean, they are also a mess, so I just throw them out and get new ones.

im ok... home for now... will go back in if i cant follow complete bedrest orders

I was offline when you were experiencing your troubles and went into the hospital. I'm hoping you are doing a lot better and continue to do so. Hospital stays SUCK!!!

Thanks for all the hugs, y'all. I've been crying since yesterday -- every time she would smile at me I'd start sobbing. She has a smile that can break your heart. I'll read up on here for a while to try to get my mind off things. And I promised Richard (Simmons) a date today. First real exercise since being banded, other than walking.

Miztr - happy belated!

LJM - stay your fanny in bed and behave!

Lulu - I need to tackle my office as well. I did some yesterday but it's still a mess! I always have hated filing!

Susan - maybe it was your son, haha

Tap - I don't have pets or kiddos but I'm sure my 48 yo house has dirt I haven't thought about!

Busted!:w00t:

Mac - a broom doesn't have to look dirty to be dirty - filled with the contaminants from one sweep in a bathroom!:cry_smile:

LJM - Go to bed. Stay. Let hubby take care of everything. Be a pampered lady of leisure.

Beth - You have a grand time with Richard...

all depends on what we can do with DD for the next few weeks... ideally, DH can work from home, but i dont see that happening on a full time basis... probably going to have to throw her in daycare if they will take her just for a few weeks... who knows how much that is going to cost...???

me too....

someone mentioned cleaning walls... yeah, we soooo need to do that - and it was on my list to do... now its on DHs

but i got WAYYYY more 'rest' there...

ok - that is the reason we are having our downstairs done with textured concrete (heated).

even thought DH and i had a kennel built on the property - TV's / heating / Air conditioning.....the dogs make their way into the house, and i would love nothing better than to take a power wash to the floors and throw every damn mop/broom in the trash......in my dreams:wink:

my office is CLEAN - i can find stuff finally!!!! was offline for 4hrs, and had DH move furniture around......now i can actually look out the window when i post...LOL

LJM - glad your home; do you have a "mothers day out" place by you? my BF drops her son off for a few hrs a wk - pretty cost effective vs day care.

ok - off to pack for DH...he leaves for a wk:biggrin::biggrin::cry_smile::biggrin::thumbup::biggrin::w00t::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

i have a place, but i need something full time...

have fun with your hubby away....

We use the Roomba for most rooms. The brooms are rarely used and, as long as they sweep up the dirt, I don't really care. The world is full of germs and that's okay by me.

ARGHHH!!!!! Where's the lysol????

Actually, I'm not a "sterilize the bejaysus out of stuff" kinda gal; I just like cleanliness...

Sobbing, I'm sure. :cry_smile:

i actually adore DH - but i LOVE my downtime.

it's just the 2 of us on a ranch, which i have grown to love.

we are however glued to the hip most days - he hasn't gone and done a guy trip since he lost weight......he needs boy time, and i need my girlfriends for a slumber wk party...LOL
