How To Tell You Hate Your Home

1. Let your house get messy.
2. Then let it get dirty (It totally helps to buy a black dog.)
3. Wait at least a month between spot cleans.
4. Wake up one morning when the sun is out and think "I MUST CLEAN HOUSE!"
5. Begin to clean house.
6. Realize the carpet is gross.
7. Realize several of the baseboards are popping off the wall.
8. Cringe as you dust the ugliest brass fixtures known to man (which have never been dusted.)
9. Spend a half hour cleaning off all the soot your husband got on the kitchen window and discover the window is gross as well.
10. Scrub down the counter tops and discover they are stained and who ever cut them didn't cut very straight.
11. Clean the baseboards that are around the counter tops and realize the caulk is coming off. Gross.
12. Clean the tile in front of the fire and suddenly remember its PINK. My god its pink...
13. Open the door to the laundry room and shut it quickly. The room is too scary.
14. Clean the bathrooms.
15. While cleaning the bathrooms realize the counter tops (same as the kitchen) are coming off from the wall.
16. Clean the floor and ponder why it won't come clean. Scrub a lot. Still drity. Give up.
17. Fall over and remember why you never clean the house this much: It reminds you how crappy it is. And how in desperate need of updating it is.
