Sooo…for any of you who may have laughed or rolled your eyes at the idea of me…(the MESSIEST, MOST UNORGANIZED woman alive)…researching tips and tricks to make life easier for your family…don’t worry it was just a momentary bit of craziness. I mean really??? As my siter in law would say, “I don’t even have time to poop.” TMI? maybe…but seriously  I don’t know what I was thinking.

The best tip I can give anyone reading…don’t do what I do:):) I literally move from one mess to another throughout the day. On top of the everyday clutter, laundry, dishes and desperate need to vacuume … I live with three of the grubbiest, grimiest most mischievous little boys God ever made…God bless em:).

The other day as I was just getting finished cleaning up the baking soda Thatcher had dumped out over the entire bathroom (don’t ask:)) when I heard my mom saying, “Uhhh you’d better come look at this.”  I raced down stairs to see what mess awaited me. Thatcher had poured out an entire pot of coffee and was laying on his stomach in the middle of the mess pretending to swim. I didn’t get a picture of him swimming but I took a picture of the aftermath. What you don’t see is the puddles it left in the bottom of our cupboards all over dishes. Good times…

And … Tip #1 from the McPhail Book of Madness:

Dump out any remaining coffee from the pot after you’ve had your morning fix. Little monkey fingers can make a mess when you least suspect it.

PS We had to use good ole amonia to clean up a mess of this caliber…don’t judge…just love:)
