I literally just spent the last 30 minutes freaking out over a smear on my dishwasher.
Like almost had a breakdown.
I got all sweaty (think beady upper lip sweat- uh- yuck) and shaky and teary-
over my freaking smeary dishwasher.
In fact- I just got up from my chair in order to “check on it.”
Check on it.
My smeary dishwasher.
And do you know why I’m all bent out of shape about a smear on my dishwasher (and bedroom that needs dusting, and floors that need cleaned, and window that needs washed...)?
Because my in-laws are coming to stay with us this weekend, my friends.
That’s right.
They’re coming to stay with us- in our “perfect” house that is never dirty and never ever has a smeary dishwasher.
Smeary dishwasher- Ha! I laugh at you!
Okay, so I realize I’ve only written like 6 sentences, but it’s taken me a full hour to write those 6 sentences because
I’ve.been.obsessing.about.how.to.clean.my.dishwasher.
and I got it fixed.
So all is well and better in my life now.
The dishwasher is fine and beautiful and sparkly. In fact, I think I may get ready in front of it tomorrow morning.
I would tell you what my secret was- but that would mean I would have to admit I had a smeared dishwasher, and we all know full well that I would never have such a thing in my house- my perfect, dustless, shiny house, right?
All I have to say is: Home and Garden TV
(As you can see, I’m getting into Fake House Mode)
I can almost guarantee I will have something blogable to share (um- walking with shoes on the carpet comes to mind. I would link you to where I freak out on everyone that does such a thing- but then I realized I had 2 goofy videos included in that post, and well, I just don’t feel like looking like an idiot today- you know, as opposed to every other day...).
I have so much more to cover- but it’s late, and perfect houses don’t clean themselves! So- I must get my rest.
More to come- you can count on it.

Perfect houses SHOULD clean themselves!!
Good luck with the inlaws. Sounds...uhm...fun? Or something.
