I stayed up all night (yes, all night... From 11:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m) cleaning the old house for a walk-through appointment we've got on Saturday. I'd like to say I got a lot done, but I don't really think I did. I think my efforts are misdirected or something. I'm focused on cleaning dirt off the edges of the doors and similar small, weird things.
One thing this experience has taught me: Those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are the best cleaning invention EVER. Okay, so maybe not EVER, but pretty darn close. The only thing is that I should've been wearing cleaning gloves. I went through three or four of those suckers, and now my hand hurts like a mofo.
I'd like to say I came home and slept, but really I got like 20 minutes of sleep before my boss called, demanding my work (my, isn't she picky!) that I had mistakenly saved as a draft instead of sending last night. By that point, I decided I was up, might as well shower before the baby woke up.
Now my eyes are stinging, so I guess it's time to actually take a nap!
....and then there were 5.

Ask John. . .I said the exact same thing about those Mr. Clean Erasers. . . they are wonderful.
I'm going to go to the store and buy a few cases of those things. I was very bummed I ran out last night. I was removing dirty fingerprints from the wall like nobody's business! Woo!
I laughed out loud at my desk when I read your "hurting like a mofo" line. I do know the feeling. I cant' be bothered with wearing gloves. When we stripped the floor at my old house, I didn't wear gloves and my hands were red and itchy for a week.
That sounds just like Billy. He never wears gloves to do ANYTHING. There is a reason he can no longer sense hot or cold with his hands.... =P
My hands hurt just like I mildly burned them--no itching, thank goodness. I'm gonna find some gloves this time around.
