everything's coming up...

roses.

Not sweet little 

blue bird...

he's the bonus!

This past weekend

I decided

to assign bathroom duty

to all those

who use 

said bathrooms...

sounds reasonable

in my opinion.

The rubber gloves

scrubbing bubbles

bowl cleaner

Windex

and

elbow grease

made their appearance.

Usually

I give myself 

the pleasure

of cleaning all 

THREE

bathrooms

by myself...

needless to say

that day 

has become 

second-ugly-cousin

to PMS.

One of those days!

I've gotten smart over the years.

It is now 

a joint effort.

The benefit

I have discovered 

is that

when you participate

in the cleaning

you respect the job

and try to

be a little neater

when you're using it.

What's known as a

win-win!

Since I had all this

extra time

after cleaning one bathroom

I decided to give my 

assigned location

a little face-lift.

Maybe I was motivated

by my sisters

Tina and Mary

who were getting some painting done

whatever the reason

as I was scrubbing

I kept noticing the worn woodwork

that all the scrubbing in the world

couldn't cover

Within minutes

the room was taped

paint stirred and poured

brushes and rollers

assembled

two measly hours later

(truly the time it takes me to clean all 3)

the wainscoting and trim

were

all

freshened-up!

Which called for a new 

rug and towel.

How fortuitous!

Target

has this adorable line from

Threshold

that fit my style

like a 

rubber glove!

Now that's what's known 

as a

win-win-win!

Happy Wednesday.
