When did cleaning the bathroom become "the fun chore"? When you have kids, that's when. After dinner one night I said to my husband Joe, "okay, you watch Simon for a bit, take him for a walk or something, I'm going to clean the bathrooms." Joe was like, "why don't you take Simon for a walk, it's beautiful out, and I'll clean the bathrooms."
My response? "NO. YOU ALWAYS GET THE FUN CHORES." We both started laughing and I realized that the things I used to not be in love with (scrubbing toilets), I will happily do if it buys me some me time.
You can eat off the floors in my bathroom when I'm finished.
I don't just do the ol' toilet duck swirl, count to 10 and flush, like the
old days, (pre-baby) I get all up in that mother with a toothbrush,
girlfriend. Umma take my sweet. ass. time. Every grout line, every baseboard, every surface. Cleaned. Disinfected. Sparkling. That's how I roll.
After visiting with a good friend today, she told me that she
argues with her husband over who gets to mow the lawn vs. supervise
their 2 kids under two. She will fight that battle to the death because
it buys her an hour and a half of me time. Smart girl.
