Today’s Challenge

This is my cleaning challenge for today:

While I was sleeping this morning, the three monsters (Chloe, James and Ashe) took all of the videos, DVDs and audio CDs out of the entertainment center and scattered them in front of the living room chair.

The man of the house says I have to clean this up, even though he sat there and watched them do it, while laughing and encouraging them to trash the living room. Oh, and I have to do it before he gets home tonight at 9pm, or he’s going to bag up my movies, DVDs and audio CDs and throw them out for the trash.

Now… It’s 110 degrees here and it’s too hot for me to clean, and I’m too fat to clean naked. I’d much rather sit in front of the air conditioner and relax all day, watching cheesy 80s horror flicks, but someone has to crack the whip around here. The three guilty parties are banished to their rooms and Mother Terrible (me) is just waiting to hear any hint of fun or happiness come from their rooms so I can barge in and put a stop to it. Yes, the dad is ‘grounded’ too. I don’t know for how long, since I’m going to take it out in the number of days equal to the number of hours it takes me to clean up the mess. If it takes me four hours to clean it up, he’s grounded for four days. Fair enough. :)

No time like the present to get my butt in gear and get to work on that mess.

    I beg your pardon? The ones who made the mess clean the mess! And that threat towards your stuff? It appears you are married to a child as well as having given birth to children. And you put up with this crap – why?
