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.
