There are moments when my kids are running around the house at full tilt that I wish I could just harness all of that energy for some useful purpose. Well, it finally happened. A few months ago, my dear friend brought over a catalog with a product that she thought was perfect for me. You see, she knows me well enough to know that I hate to clean my wood floors. I can get the dusting, vacuuming and toilets done, but when it comes to that final step of cleaning the wood floors, I just crumble.
The catalog showed these wonderful slippers that you just put on your feet and glide around in. The bottom is covered with nubby micro-fiber "fingers" that sweep up all the dirt. When you're done, you just remove the bottom of the slipper, throw it in the wash, and you're ready for the next cleaning. Now, I really didn't think it was worth buying them and paying for shipping. But . . . when I saw them in the local housewares store the other day, I couldn't resist. I bought two pair. I figured I couldn't have all four kids wearing them at once, or we would have mass collisions. Notice, I did not say that I was going to wear them. I do have my fashion standards! The moment we got home, my kids fought over who got to wear them first.
Let me tell you, while I still need to mop on occasion, my wood floor is now sparkly instead of dusty. So if you happen to see a bright green or pink blur whizzing past in our house, never fear. It's just my kids doing their chores. I think I'll go sit in my chair and enjoy a cup of coffee!!
