Susie Homemaker - Friday

Hey Beth! Sorry you have so much stuff to deal with before you can even begin cleaning. Hope they will change their ways soon and start acting like adults and helping clear their personal things out of the way. Especially the mail!! That would drive me crazy! Hugs, Susan

Two Words : GARBAGE CAN Nothing makes people pick up after themselves like the fear of their stuff landing in the garbage can if you have to pick up after them!! Scare the bejeebers out of them once and go around and collect everything in garbage bags and then set them by the front door. When they ask what thats all about you just politely with a big smile on your face say that you had the most wonderful day of picking up after everyone and this was the reward.. a de-cluttered house with the mess on its way out to door. *HUGS* Felicia =0)

OMG this sounds like my house Beth!!!! I just wish I didn't have to work so I could stay on top of things better. The only difference is I have a messy husband and 2 grown boys 20 and 18 that are just as messy as my husband!!! My youngest has his girlfriend here most of the time and when they come in at nights they leave the kitchen a mess!!! I get sooo pissed!!!! I also have 2 dogs that is 1 and 2 years old and they both drag out socks and underwear all threw the house...especially the 1 year old lab mix, only he eats holes in everything he carries out. I don't know how many packs of socks I have had to buy because of him??? I just give up around here sometimes. It does me NO good to straighten anything as long as their is a house full of sloppy men and teenage girl most of the time and 2 dogs that aren't really out of the puppy stages yet!!! I get tired just thinking about all that I should do around here!!!! Lisa S.

Update - Fridge's cleaned, old food tossed, shelves wiped, bins removed, washed and replaced. My coworkers are slobs. Microwaves cleaned Toaster oven cleaned. Supply cabinets inventoried, fresh supplies ordered. (that wasn't even on the original list) Fedex supplies organized. My desk? - eh - it's cleaner than it was. Still to do: Grocery store, I think we will do it together after dinner. # of steps walked so far =2687 and it's not even 5 yet! Just over 300 to my goal for the day.
