You know those cute little coupon books your kids made for you when they were young? Well, all I want next Mother’s Day is one of those from my kids. Only I want mine to be for “Washing the nasty soap scum and long dark hair out of the tub” (mind you, I have BLOND hair). There is nothing worse then finally getting to the end of a long day, go to turn on the bath water, and BAM! Nasty filthy soap scum all over the place. What makes it so frustrating, is that the damn tub was spotless just hours before from the last time I cleaned it!
Yes, I used to make them clean it out. But lately, rather than finding the culprit, wasting time getting someone to fess up and then listen to the stomping, huffing and puffing to get the cleaner….I just clean the tub myself. I guess by the time kids get older they exhaust every fiber of our being to the point that we are up to our elbows in scum, and for some twisted reason, we’re just happy that we’ll get 10 minutes to relax when we’re done.
My next coupon should be “Mopping up the Nasty Combination of Dog Drool and Water on the Kitchen Floor.” What better way to ruin a nice hot bath then to get out all cozy and warm, and in bare feet, step into a seemingly invisible puddle of drool and water. Hey guys! When coming in and out of the kitchen every ten minutes….grab a rag and wipe up the slop!
And the last coupon should be: “Full Privacy When On The Toilet!”
