An exercise in futility

Has anyone else tried to pick up clutter in a house with two toddlers? It's imp0ssible, unless you get them penned out of the room you're trying to clean. My son can scatter toys faster than I can pick them up. My daughter is almost as fast.

Sometimes I wish I could teach them to put toys in boxes rather than fling them all over their rooms. And the hall. And the bathroom. And the living room.

  2. There's a very good reason mine are pinned out of the kitchen, the bathroom (most of the time, when there aren't baths or potty time involved), and our bedroom. I don't need flour, sugar, feminine hygiene supplies, toilet paper, or prophylactics scattered all over the house.

  4. Mine are old enough to pick up, they just won't. And after working two jobs, coming home to find messes by the three, count them, three men living in the house over the age of 14, as well as the girls, my head is about to explode.

    I have guns. I have ammo. I just need to shoot something...

  5. Mistress M: make sure it's paper, or one of those neat little bouncing reactive targets, and you're good. DON'T go postal on your messmakers, no matter how tempting it is with the husband.

    Shoot me an e-mail or give me a call--let me know how you're doing.
