there is an effectual struggle going on in our home that i now consider an out and out war.
sadly i am outnumbered 20 million to 1. my enemy–dust! arghh!
since returning home from utah, i seriously feel as if my life is covered in dust. i have been trying to convince jeff throughout the past year that a dust fairy secretly comes out at night and blasts our house with enough dust to create our own moon sand. just recently this week, i think he finally believes me. he even changed the air filters just to see if she might be hiding up in the vent.
we’ve lived in a few different homes but for some reason this one seems “haunted,” if you will. we don’t have construction going on. no fields around. no particular reason why we should have more dust that accumulates in one day than should happen in a month. i’m telling you, the dust fairy is busy!!
so tonight i have been on a manhunt to fight her. i just spend the last three hours armed with my handy dandy vaccuum trying to rid my world of dust for just one night. now, lest you think i am a clean freak, i surely am not. it’s all or nothing for me. i clean like a maniac for a day or two and then i tuck that genie nicely away in her bottle for another month or four. just until the dust fairy has rubbed me long enough to release my fury.
however, i am sorry to admit that this war will never end and i will not be getting more troops anytime soon. just me. alone on the battlefront.
jeff and i have agreed on one thing though. as long as he is still mowing the lawn, i will still be scrubbing the toilets. and that, i guess, is the state of our union. 😉

DUDERIFIC – You have SERIOUS writing ability. You’re like, so hot.
(now how’s that for fab. writing skills?)
Ok, you two are cracking me up! Seriously though, I loved your narration on your dust regin of terror! If you find out the secret…pass it on!
hmm, i think i saw a sign once that read, “this house protected by dust bunnies!”…blessing or curse you decide.:)
Cher, no doubt about it, you are the new Erma Bombeck!!
