I discovered Mr. Clean Invigorating Breeze about 3 years ago. It became an amazing addition to my cleaning supplies. That I know sounds like I am CRAZY.... but I have people who agree with me. Using the pretty blue Mr. Clean is TOTALLY invigorating my friends! It leaves the whole house smelling so crisp and clean. Well, I discovered about a year ago that it was not to be found at retail stores! You can imagine my frustration when my FAVORITE cleaner was MIA! What would this do to my "sacred Wednesday cleaning days?"... I would be on Mr. Clean rations! I was bewildered - the audacity of the company to yank my favorite cleaner from the shelves... Gurr!... So I went on a quest to find it..... and my hard work paid off! I recently bought it on-line from some drug store back east.... in bulk! Whew, cleaning life can resume... What could be better than a whole case of my favorite cleaner?... Ya, I know I am speechless too!
Another cleaning love that I have is vacuuming. I really do ENJOY it! As a little girl I would go to Sister Hepners almost daily while my Mom was at work. There we did 2 things daily - or at least that is how I remember it - we vacuumed and made jello. This must be where my love for vacuuming came from. (I will be at my parents home and just randomly get out the central vac just so I can vacuum...) I sound like a nut case... Well, our first apartment was 100 % slate flooring besides our bedroom so we had a smaller sweeper thing I used just in the bedroom. Since we moved and now our apartment has carpet we have needed a vacuum. I have been researching for a few weeks and this is what I have found....
So last night we went down to Wal-Mart and bought this blue Bissell vacuum. I have vacuumed now twice and am amazed (and grossed out) at how well it picks stuff up... it really sucks! Yahoo, I now have nice straight vacuum lines in my carpet!... and you thought I was hard to please?...
Now I must go finish some cleaning... REMEMBER THE SIMPLE JOYS IN LIFE, like a clean house... Unless you have kids (then leave the OCD cleaning to me) and remember what you learned in Genereal Conference... too soon those finger prints and toys will be gone!... (or something to that affect!)

P.S. You need to visit more often, my carpets need vacuuming.
Love this post: witty, charming, squeaky clean, and happy.
Good thing you are married to Jared, he can help you work on the OCD.
Love you TOO!!!!
Mom
Oh! I forgot....it cracked me up when the UPS man pulled up with this big, heavy box addressed to you. I had a hard time believing it was really "Mr. Clean". After all, who would order a case of Mr. Clean to be delivered from the opposite side of the US? Oh! It's the cleaning fanatic :>) The box was so heavy it felt like they shipped the bald headed guy himself, and it WAS dripping some suspicious yellow liquid...maybe he was in there a little too long;o}
oh you're funny! please feel free to have cleaning ocd at my house! j/k don't come over I think you'd just be disgusted! I loved that that was mentioned at conference, it's so true, so now I try to enjoy my kids instead of trying to clean ALL day.
Post something new. Now that I looked over this post again. I am thinking you decided not to come here tonight necause of the hurricane that blew through earlier. I need a maid. How much do you want? How about free hair? I have no money but I will make you crap and do your hair if you come and clean my bathrooms and mop my floors and teach my kids that they don;t need EVERY toy out and when they do get them out to put them away. Wow that is alot if this arrangement works I will be getting the better end of the deal for sure. Love you to pieces. Think about it. Seriously, your poor practically single mother of a sister who takes way too much upon herself needs some serious help.
