cleaning the house

Step 1: Go in Monkey's room, collect 5-10 bottles randomly stashed around the room. Carefully decide which ones to keep and which ones to throw immediately into the garbage.
Step 2: Take random potholder/ oven mitt collection out of Monkey's room and go to the kitchen to put it back in the drawer.
Step 3: Notice that Monkey has put arm covers from the recliner in where the potholders belong.
Step 4: Bring the arm covers back into the living room and find play doh bits all over the rug.
Step 5: Pick up most of the play doh, vacuum the rest.
Step 6: While vacuuming, find an earring (you stepped on it's match earlier today) that was previously kept in the bathroom. Wonder why Monkey got into your earrings??
Step 7: Put the earring back in the bathroom, notice that your toothbrush is missing.
Step 8: Floss and mouthwash will have to do for tonight, until the toothbrush can be located in the laundry tomorrow morning.
Step 9: Fold the laundry in the morning, looking at all the little grass-stains/ lipstick stains/ juice stains, and laugh at how funny your little boys are.

Yeah, some day, when my kids are grown and my house stays clean, I really am gonna miss this.
