I'm not boring... just selective

Hi Tam!! Welcome. I'm so glad you stop lurking.. but your first comment could have been a little nicer. LOL And now, thanks to my oldest sister calling me boring, I will share the details of why I need to invest in a carpet cleaner.

My other sister (the nice one! JK!!) was visiting last week. She brought with her three adorable children and some type of killer stomach bug. My poor sickly niece puked all down the hallway. My own children are generally so neat and tidy that I didn't have a speck of Resolve or a scrub brush in the house. I scrubbed the carpet with dishwashing liquid and a washcloth.

This morning, as I was reading the supportive comments from my darling sister, Matthew approached me with something on his hands.... and the same something smeared down the back of his legs. Oh, and he wasn't wearing a diaper. I leave that open to interpretation. But, still... I didn't have anything resembling carpet cleaner. I cleaned that one with Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Spray and a washcloth.... and a touch of Febreeze! LOL

And so, when there is not a new post for a week, you should just be thankful and say a little prayer for my carpet. For the record, kitchen spray works better than dishwashing liquid.
