Trying to win the cleaning battle but my dirty kids are winning the war!

Tweet

I would say that I am a pretty clean person. I try my best anyways. But when you have three kids all packing sweets it is hard to keep up with sometimes. Every year I am forever picking up wrappers from Halloween candies, so this year I said to the kids, for every one I pick up you will have to give me one of your candies. I scored a few bars but they realized I meant business and voila, there are no wrappers to be seen. So I thought I had won the battle of the mess. HAHA No, children always find a way to keep me losing. I just went to put down my tea cup and I heard a ting, so I look and there is crushed up lollipop under my mug. HMMM. Okay clean that up. Then I grab the mouse, ewww it is sticky! Okay clean that up. So as I try to get off the chair I am glued to the seat by I don't know what sticky concoction of half chewed whatever. Nice! They are lucky they are my kids, or I would be so grossed out. Come on parents! Give me advice and help me win the war?
