Krista's amazing stain removal

Here is how I spent my morning... attacking the following stains:
  • Silly putty on my duvet cover and a tablecloth
  • Permanent ink on Kate's hands AND mouth
  • A FULL CUP of milk on my couch
  • Poop on my carpet.
AND THIS WAS ALL BEFORE BREAKFAST!!!

If you'll excuse me, I think I ought to go back to bed. Also before you judge, I promise I don't just let my kids run rampant unsupervised. It started with one mess and then snowballed from there (i.e. while I was cleaning one thing, my girls thought it would be fun to make more messes for me to clean up! They like the way I clean.)
Remind me why I had kids again??? Oh yeah... because when I'm bawling over an upside-down house, I need some tiny arms around me saying, "It's okay, Mommy."

Anyone want to lend me their full-size washer and dryer???

PS - Um since I missed Thankful Thursday yesterday, I better mention that I am thankful for:

<-- This carpet cleaner is AMAZING, and it comes from the dollar store! Who would guess? I stockpile it.

"Dull women have immaculate homes!"

I was just thinking the other day how women back in the 50's used to clean their houses wearing dresses & nylons. (Or at least that's the image we've been given.) I clean mine (when I actually clean it) wearing pajamas or other scruffy clothes. :)
