The next time someone asks me how I'm doing, I will refer them to this photo.
This was taken a few days ago. That's my baby's socks. He had kicked them off while we sat at the dinner table one night last week. I didn't pick them up. I thought about it, but I was too tired. On the socks is some spaghetti. Spaghetti is my fall-back meal when I am sleep-walking through the dinner time hour. Note how dried out the spaghetti is. That is because it too fell on the floor at dinnertime last week. Again, I was too tired to pick it up. The kicker? The two events were not even on the same night. The socks fell one night, the spaghetti the next. And I left them both there, overnight, and I didn't even feel that bad about it. Until the next day. I cannot believe what I allow sometimes as far as cleanliness goes these days. It's disgusting, I know. It's all cleaned up now. But the picture is quite a good response to the query "How are you doing?". Dried spaghetti on baby socks on my kitchen floor for over 24 hours. That's how I'm doing.

That's terribly disgusting and shameful!

No babies were harmed in the making of this post.
Someday we'll be on top of it. Supermoms weren't made overnight, right? RIGHT?
I'm pretty sure I have rice from a couple weeks ago under Kelseys highchair. One day I'll be motivated to clean it up. :)
I seem to remember hosing off the high chair outside often 9but not often enough). Now the floor is just a chore that is given for anyone who wants to play the Wii, and I have not felt that urge for a while.....
That's why dogs come in handy, Wendy! They are natural vacuum cleaners! I guess that wouldn't help you with the socks but the spaghetti would be gone in a flash. And maybe it's just my eyes but when I first looked at the photo before I read your post I thought that was straw on the socks from a trip to the local pumpkin patch.
