Re: Chuckle for the Day!!!!!!
Oh this is me when I am trying to clean my house. i go from room, to room, to room. By the end of the day all the rooms are about 1/2 cleaned and I am exhausted.
Thanks for the giggles. I noticed that you did not say that the water was running down the street. Somewhere down the line it must have been turned off - Whew!!
