The 21 Days of Cleaning

So after a relatively easy week off (my first in a while...) the wife mentions "The 21 days of cleaning" that she's organizing at the moment and how I'll be called upon to act as "the muscle."

OK, the house is a mess. We moved in to the place in 2000, had the first kid in 2001, was recovering from that and cleaned up just in time for kid number 2 (where the hell did we store those old baby buntings?) I managed to unpack the old baby clothes just in time for the Punkin' (kid #2) to outgrow the newborn baby clothes.

There is a lot of stuff that needs to be got rid of before we move. So we're putting stuff up on EBAY. In case you're curious, that's what the Harpie's Bazaar button on the right links to...Right now there's a bunch of books and stuff up for sale (including my treasured first-edition Bloom Counties...Steve Dallas, you were my God!!!) with a lot more to follow.

Of course I can't have the 21 Days of Cleaning without coming up with a song- I think I'll add a verse a day until this hell comes to an end:

(to be sung to the 12 days of Christmas)


On the first day of Cleaning, wifey suddenly became...A bitch!
