I just mopped!

I don't know what kind of cosmic forces are at work but an event happens every single time I mop. I usually mop after the kids are in bed so the inevitable 'tracks across my clean floor' don't occur. The floor dries, I smile at a small achievement for the day, and go to bed. I awake the next morning to a deliciously clean floor and smile as I get the kids' breakfast. Without fail, at least once during the day, something will get spilled. And not just crackers or something that I can just sweep up. It's always something that requires 3 rags and me on my hands and knees. Sometimes it's a whole bowl of sugary breakfast cereal milk. Sometimes it's a whole glass of sticky juice. Today, it was most of a strawberry-blueberry smoothie. What is the deal?!? Does a clean floor just cry out to be spilled upon? Why can't I keep the whole floor clean for more than a day?? I don't know what the deal is but it happens every, single time. (Good thing I only mop about once every 2 weeks!) :) Happy Tuesday people.

The question is...does something spill just once every 2 weeks (if so, you are a goddess)? Or does something spill every day, including the day after you mop?

I just finished mopping 3 minutes ago.

Yes it does. I'm waiting for my spill to happen. (Not counting the 8 oz. of red gatorade that caused the mopping today.)

I agree whole-heartedly...the other day I mopped my kitchen, just to have the maintenance man come and track his muddy feet to fix the washer. Oh well, next project, my 7 or so piles of laundry. :(

Wait. You mop every two weeks?

I think I mop about every other month...

My floor is pretty gross right now.

That always happens to me too. And what is worse is that even when I try really hard to clean the spills, the spot mopping usually misses a spot and that spot just gets dirtier and stickier. Kids (and sometimes husbands)!
