Cleaning
It seems as though I have cleaned some everyday since Friday and things just keep getting messy. I don’t really see it happening except for in the kitchen and maybe it won’t take that long to clean up, but really?? Should I have to clean everyday?

Slip
Well, I guess you are never too young to fall in the tub. I had a little mishap today. I guess I was reaching too far out of the tub and lost my footing on the slippery surface. I was able to catch myself before I did any real damage, granted my hands were on…
