She hurts my feelings.  
Ok, maybe not.  
Ok, not.  
Who has feelings anymore when it comes to a clean messy house?
When I picked up the kids I stood and looked at your room and really hated you were going to come home to that, but I was in such a hurry, she says.
Good thing she's seen it worse.  Ok, maybe not.  But just as bad.
How does this happen?  I mutter later, down on all fours digging something sticky out of the rug.  I keep muttering, something close to profanity but far enough away to pat myself on the back later, as I search, belly down, for the game pieces under the sofa.  Not there.  Probably didn't survive, I spit out, dust bunnies ate 'em.
If I were a DVD this is not a moment I would hit the pause button.
Fast forward, baby, fast forward.
Now that I've whined to the point of losing 99% of my three readers, here's something I'd like to say -
Did you know June Cleaver died? She lived a long life. May she rest in peace.
But - did you ever see her down on her knees talking to dust bunnies or aging ten years jabbing a knife into something crusty on the rug?

Did her friend ever come over and sadly shake head in pity for her?
I've come a long way, baby.
June Cleaver, eat my dust - bunnies that is.
