Have you ever stepped back into something and made a mess?

A couple minutes ago, I decided to get up and clean the bathroom floor. I'd been posting on MyLot for a little while and battling insomnia. I had collected a nice little pile of dirt and debris on the floor and was neatly putting it into a pile. Then I turned around to get the rest of the floor cleaned and sanitized and accidentally stepped back into my pile of stuff. Then I tracked it everywhere and had to spend an additional five minutes getting things cleaned up! Has that ever happened to you? Have you ever stepped back into a pile of something and made a mess?

it's usually not me that messes the pile up-it's one of the cats.a neatly swept pile seems to draw them like a magnet.they're even worse when i try to mop it

Cats and messes do go together! I wonder why that is so. My little kitten is always making a nuisance of herself while I am trying to clean.

Thanks! You too, Christie. My spouse is off for the next few days, so I plan on catching up on my cleaning. The kitchen and living room floor need to be scrubbed as they are both stone tile floors. I have been sweeping and vacuuming daily, but the grime is overtaking me!

I'e done that before. I have a bad habit of putting drinks and things on the floor beside me when there is no table, and spilling the dang things when I try to stand up, because my clumsy feet point slightly sideways instead of forward.

My kids are usually the ones that step in my dirt pile when I am sweeping up the floor. One of the two will without fail go running through the kitchen while I am sweeping up and track it everywhere. Either that of my son will send he cat who is scared for his life(he hates my son) running through the pile.

Actually not a steeped back. Last Sunday while I was cooking for our lunch, I put empty bowl beside the gas stove, but I don't know what had happen, or maybe I was careless that time, my elbow get in contact with the bowl and it was fall on the floor.
