Dear Josh and Liz,
Below are a list of small things I would like you to do on a day to day basis. I add that I am extremely tired of cleaning up everyday after messes that could have been avoided. I would also like to point out that I do not clean for the joy of it and when you get home from work or where ever you have been and you see a clean house I expect to get enough respect from both of you to at least make an effort to keep it as clean as you see it. So with that being said here is the list.
1) After walking into the house after a long day at work I realize relaxation is the first thing on your mind. HOWEVER, if you could just go ahead and hang up your Jackets and sweaters in the closet instead of throwing them on the floor that would be great. Also you could put your shoes away on the lovely shoe rack that I bought not to long ago and put your bags/purses away in the closet or off to the side instead of throwing everything into the middle of the living room. This first thing on the list will, Im sure, help to avoid un-needed clutter in an otherwise clean and tidy living area.
2)After making/eating dinner (or any meal or time you eat) please make an effort to simply rinse off, dry and put away the dishes you use. This is easy, this is simple, this will also cut back on the amount of dirty dishes that end up pilling up in the sink. Also DO NOT use a new plate for every new thing you eat. For example, Josh you sat down to make and eat your lunch the other day and in ONE meal you used in total 2 dinner plates and small plate, a bowl, 2 cups, 3 knives and 2 forks..... why
? However, that being said if you do use that many dishes for a meal that is even more reason to please please PLEASE rinse, dry and put them away after. Maybe you don't notice how bad it really is but as the people who do the dishes Jeff and I have. Thank-you.
3)After an afternoon of relaxing in the living room and the day is over and it is time for bed please just re-fold the blankets you have used and put the pillows back. If you could also make sure that the dirty socks you have left on the floor are picked up as well and any other little thing like putting a cup in the kitchen if you had one or putting the laptop away or putting the T.V controls back where they go. This one is also a small detail but in the long run would help me very much in the mornings, just giving me that much less to tidy up when I wake. The blankets, pillows, laptop, and controls all had a nice tidy place before you used them, so just make sure you put them back the way they were when the day is done. Not to difficult right
4) Lastly is to please clean up after your new puppy. I did not sign on to be the dogs owner, I do not mind taking care of it during the day when you guys are not home and she is a lovely puppy BUT when you are home if she pee's on the floor clean it up. I say this even though it should be obvious because when I say clean it up I DO NOT mean spray it with spot shot and pat it a couple times with paper towel (now there is just a bigger more wet spot on the carpet). READ the instructions on the cleaner if you feel the need to use it and when you soak up the spot use enough pressure to actually soak it up then leave it on the spot for a while to allow the rest of what is moist underneath to soak up as well. Also dont leave things on the floor that she can chew up and keep an eye on her. If you are going to nap tell someone (me) so I can keep on eye on her or take her with you, she is just a puppy. This will help to cut down on the amount of ripped up paper and garbage thus cut down on the amount that I must vaccum each day, this will also cut down on puppy accidents on the carpet.
SO although this letter may be long winded these 4 simple steps are neither time consuming nor are they difficult. I have no dought that a pair of grown adults will be able to handle these 4 things with ease. In return you will have a much less stressed out grumpy room mate, auntie and mom, as you will be making my daily jobs of keeping this house clean much much easier. I assume that 3 months will be more then enough time for you to make these things a part of your daily routine because once baby comes I expect you will take into consideration that I may not be so calm about the mess you guys make.
