How Do You Prioritize The Kitchen Floor?

So this past weekend, we had a leader rlife meeting. I know, it's really quite confusing how many rlife groups and meetings and activities there are. I'm thinking that maybe this leader meeting should be called something different - maybe LLife. Now that wouldn't be too confusing. But anyway, we discussed priorities in our lives. We had to jot down the top five items in our lives that we spend the most time/energy/resources on. In my top five I had cleaning, taking care of the household, etc. What that one really should have been labeled is "Sweeping and Caring for the Floor". Yes, I'm getting a little obsessive over the kitchen floor. An hour before our group of 15 (most of whom I've never met) showed up on Sunday, I was on my hands and knees, washing the floor with a brush and rag. But I digress.

Now for most people who know me, with the proper amounts of sleep and caffeine, I can be really just sarcastic. I've reached that point today, and have something truly important and just plain idiotic to share with my vast readership.

Here is my top 5 things that really just suck to sweep off the kitchen floor:

1. Rice. Mike refers to these days of the week as "Rice Night". It's an event in our household because with The Three, more rice ends up on the floor than in anyone's mouths. And before the rice dries, it's wet. Who knew?! And so before we can sweep the dry rice, there is wet rice all over the floor, just waiting to be stepped on with someone's sock and then drug to another part of the house.

2. Smooshed American Cheese. It's really the grossest thing ever. And impossible to sweep. This calls for clorox wipes or at the very least, a wet paper towel.

3. Raisins. These are not the worst things ever, but when they've been played with or get flung out of someone's mouth, it's not too pleasant to sweep up.

4. Baby spit up. Need I say more?!

5. Ok, so apparently I only had 4 on my list, but I would like to take this #5 spot to say that I would really like a swivel sweeper for my birthday. I think it would be awesome - just watch the infomercial!
