My Hands Are So Dry
I felt really good last night, very relaxed and then BOOM!! A burst of energy like you would not believe. I began cleaning the house non-stop. I cleaned the bathrooms, took out the household trash, disinfected all the light switches, doorknobs, and doors. I switched and folded the days laundry, cleaned the kitchen and ran the dishwasher. It was nice to clean the house without any interruptions but I did feel like it wasn't absolutely clean like I didn't do my absolute best because I didn't use Windex and I didn't clean the mirrors.
My mind was racing with thoughts of what to clean next. Debating in my head over how far I should or shouldn't go. I laid in bed last night thinking I should have swept, I should have mopped. Never mind that it was 10 o'clock at night I should have done more. I could have wiped down the stove or cleaned the microwave. The list of what I should have cleaned is so long much longer than the list of what I have done. With Swine Flu upon us along with every other kind of super bug illness; Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Winter Flu, it all spells the same thing *GERMS*!!
Germs spread by people, inconsiderate people who go out to public places giving no thought to healthy people who's only fault is that they are out enjoying their lives. I should have done more with my time, my family is worth it. I love my clean and shiny life. I should have done more, my hands are so dry.
