Today little kid has already dumped out a bag of goldfish crackers (all over my floor), crushed a granola bar into smithereens and threw it (all over my floor) and brought a small bucket of dirt in from the back deck and dumped it (all over my floor).
I guess this means I really *have* to vacuum today. I hate the vacuum. I thought for sure if Mr. Ashley got me the purple Dyson that would change, but I was wrong. It's still loud and I have to plug it in and push it around and I just hate it.
Someone really needs to be watching these kids.
I need a nanny and a maid, too. I hate vacuuming, but mostly because I hate the work involved before I get to actually vacuum. You know, the picking up all of the toys and stuff from the floor so I can actually see the carpet. Once I actually get to the actual vacuuming, I enjoy it (as much as a lazy mom can enjoy cleaning). I don't know if it is because I love my Dyson so much or if it is because the cleaning is almost over.
ReplyDeleteGet a Roomba girl!
ReplyDeleteReally? The purple Dyson didn't do it for you? It did for me! I love to vacuum now, and watch that thing fill up with dust and dog hair.
ReplyDeleteI hate vacuuming! I hate dragging the big heavy thing around and I don't do a very good job when I do it...
ReplyDeleteWait a minute...getting a purple Dyson doesn't make you want to vacuum more??? Maybe I should stop nagging my husband for one.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. This must be some sort of youthful conspiracy. I have dirt, goldfish, and granola on my floor too. Oh, and a few pieces of shredded paper from a destroyed crayon drawing.
ReplyDeleteYou seriously need a roomba. It will change your life.
ReplyDeleteDamn Ashley! I am getting my new Dyson today and even bought the smell good floor powder to commenmorate the event and you had to go and ruin it for me!
ReplyDeleteI like to turn the kids loose with a Dust Buster and one of those lightweight vacuums - they're good for crumbs and other kitchen messes. And if they miss a spot, I ask my Nanny/Housekeeper to clean up the rest. :) I'm spoiled.

Vacuums are always better when someone else is pushing them.
ReplyDeleteI'm over this whole cleaning thing. I have a maid coming by at 5 to scope out my pit and she will be here to clean on Thursday. Fidel thinks this is a one time thing but I'm willing to wiener gobble at least 5 times a week if I can have a maid.
You can always use my kid:

He loves to use that stupid Dust Buster... God love 'em.
Jennifer - 5 times a week?? Oh no, my maid doesn't cost me THAT much!! Ashely - doesn't Mr Ashley ever vacuum?? ;o) Maybe BK needs to learn to vacuum.
ReplyDeleteI like the Roomba idea, great in theory but my dogs would chew it to bits within days. I mean, DD's Little People Airplane no longer has any passengers, guess they are quite the tasty snack. Methinks a roomba may be just as tasty!
I have the purple Dyson. It's awesome to watch someone else using it.
