My crazy work project has taken a toll on my household "management." I use the term loosely to reflect the state of things around here.
My wash machine is stuck on the Spin Cycle (literally), no doubt a Sign that things are out of control. And my kitchen floor feels crunchy, not in a good way. I won't describe any more to you.
In times like these, a woman can get pretty discouraged. That's when a SMALL challenge really fits the bill. Not too much, so as to overwhelm her, but enough to get her out of the inertia that plagues the fatigued soul in the midst of things. Oh, sister, I know just how you feel because I'm there.
My Small Thing challenge to you is so very simple, you might be tempted to dismiss it. But I urge you to take it upon yourself to do this: See how far one damp cloth can take you.
Look. Take a small towel, cloth or rag and get it wet. Then squeeze out most of the excess water so you are left with a moist, but not dripping, Tool of Simple Household Excellence.
Now, check out the surfaces in your immediate area. Give them a quick swipe: Top of table, counters, microwave door, faucet. Coffee table, sideboard, end tables and.....
Oh. The moisture just ran out of your cloth.
I guess that means you are DONE for today!
Whew, that was EASY! That damp cloth sure doesn't take you very far, but it takes you just far enough.
POINTS: 40 for seeing how far one damp cloth will take you.
