mommy: "our toaster oven is broken. we will have to go and buy a new one."
colin: "that's great news because now we will have a clean one!"
never said i was a cleaner - love to pick things up/organize/put away/keep it simple but a great cleaning woman i am not.
#1) the kids will never remember if the house was clean or not, only the time i spend with them.
#2) i've got the rest of my life to clean, for now i'm going to enjoy life.
#3) i'm sticking with the above for now, including less than perfect toaster ovens!
