Well I could hardly be called Cinderella right? So I’ll be Samarella (NO – not SALMONELLA!!!!!) and tell you that it’s CLEANING DAY and you know how hard Cinderella had to work with housekeeping – I’m working my buns off here today too! Thank heavens BROOMhilda came by to snoopervise!
Samarella, at your service!
Thanks for snoopervising today BROOMhilda…..!
We’ll get this place whipped into shape before you know it…………………..I have help…………….someone is in charge of dusting under the beds:
Someone is in charge of floors:
And Mom said she’d take care of laundry so at least my crew doesn’t have to do THAT little chore……………………
Before you know it, the house will be:
Then I can play……………and have fun…………and of course snooze………….it will all be a distant memory – this cleaning thing just happens once a week but I’ll be darned if it doesn’t seem like just yesterday when we were doing this!
Speaking of playing though – yesterday I read on Hailey and Zaphod’s Blog HERE that to celebrate Phod’s FIFTH Birthday, they’re having a FUN kind of fund-raiser! They want to see the REST of us “foolin’ around” – a photo of us just plain having some FUN. Now if that’s not FUN, what is?! And on top of that, Hailey and Phod’s Mom is going to donate $1.00 for every photo submission they get AND $.50 for every comment made on Phod’s Birthday Post on April 1st. Donations will go to the Ontario SPCA. Why am I telling you so far ahead? So you can look in your photo stash and come up with a photo of you foolin’ around to send to them at leeandphod(at)bell(dot)net ! I sent mine in – how about you??????
Cool huh? Feel free to use the badge to help them raise some money for their chosen cause and remember to get your photos to them ahead of time!! April 1st will be here before you know it!
Big Hugs,
Mr. Clean (aka Sam)
