I wanted to shampoo the carpet in the living room today. (I hate carpet!) I feel like there is no way to really keep it clean. Even if I never allowed any food in there, I still have two small children, and two dogs, and well, *stuff* happens. So I started first thing this morning cleaning the room, moving some furniture, getting ready. By after lunch I was ready to shampoo. With in moments this is what things where like. I look over and Makayla is bent down, trying to suck on the carpet I had just cleaned. Gross! And Alyssa is running around with her bear feet, singing, "I'm getting it dirty again, I'm getting it dirty again." Okay, new plan. I put Makayla on my back in my Ergo, and told Alyssa she had to stop walking on my clean carpet. Now she wasn't really going to do much harm, and hey, her feet where going to be clean, but I didn't like the thought process going on in her little head. Earlier she had asked me why the carpet got dirty. I explained that things got spilled, etc. and that simply being walked on every day helped to get it dirty.
In the end, my carpet is clean, and I am exhausted. :)
