Go Moms!

So today, I got home from church after getting about 2 hours of sleep last night. don't even worry. I ate some lunch/breakfast and then took a look around me. It was disgusting. Our apartment was atrocious. I'm taking this time to apologize to everyone who had to witness this. It seriously might have been against the health code. So I decided I'll just clean it.
Little did I know what I had just gotten myself into.
I start washing the dishes.
Then we don't have any clean rags to dry them with because all of ours smelled like throw up. This is not a joke.
So Britt starts swinging them around the room trying to just fling the water off. It didn't work very well. So what did she resort to? Blow drying them. Yeah. We're college students. Whatever.
I literally washed about 30 pots and pans that had been sitting on our counters for weeks just collecting who knows what.
There was literally a pan with brownies in it that was from 3 weeks ago. 3 weeks!
Then I just switched into mom mode as Mike calls it and just cleaned everything.
I cleared off all the counters, table, chairs, the fridge and garbage.
We found some disgusting stuff which might explain why our apartment always smells so bad like;

  • a huge pile of crumbies. College crumbies
  • Strawberries that were growing and living in their own ecosystem
  • Potatoes that were growing new potatoes out of them. They are asexual now.
  • Leftovers from the first weeks of school. That was 3 months ago.

Needless to say it was disgusting. 
Jenna and I washed the floor on our hands and knees. With Clorox wipes. That was fun.
We ran the dishwasher twice. Turns out we have too many dishes to fit in one cupboard. We've never known that because they've never all been clean at once. 

Anyways, our apartment is clean now and smells human. I think. Maybe I'm used to it. But it's organized and looks nice! It's not stressing me out now. I like it.

I'm going to warn my roommates that if they can't keep it like this, there will be a death. Seriously. That is not happening again.
I'm not their mom and don't want to be because they are sluts. Boo.
Either way. I feel good and actually want to be around now.
The point is that being a mom has the potential to suck. You just clean up after every body else all the time. I did not enjoy my 4 hours of that today. Then one day I'm supposed to do it everyday for the rest of my life? Awesome. Moms are great. Really great.
We learned that life lesson while cleaning today.
