Cleaning House

Here is why my house will be filthy until my children are teenagers:

Liam:  Hey, Mama.  Whatcha doin’?

Shannon:  I’m cleaning the house.  It’s a mess in here!

Liam:  Oh,  Mama, will you come snuggle with me, please?

Shannon:  Doodle, I’d love to do that, but our house is a mess and I need to clean it for a little while.  I promise to take a break soon and come snuggle with you.

Liam:  But Mama?

Shannon:  Yes, Liam?

Liam:  When you’re cleaning the house and I’m sitting here on the couch by myself and you’re not snuggling with me I feel very lonely.  I don’t want to be lonely.

Snuggle time it is, then.
