What Happened to my clean house?

I am missing my clean house these days. It's been a little bit over 2 months since I posted about my beautiful house and now I am posting about how a messy house has created a few small problems.
Last Saturday, I sat around the house reading a few books and watching the boys play. I wasn't sick...just being lazy. In my defense, it did snow about five inches, so we were homebound. Sunday, I didn't feel like doing much either. My husband jokingly asked if I still had feeling in my legs from all the laying around I had done. He thinks he is so funny. I rocked Jackson to sleep, and as I was heading to the boys' room I stepped on one of their toys. A tractor. Ahhhh! It hurt so bad. At first, I thought I'd twisted my ankle, but when I saw all the blood...Oh, the blood, I can't even finish the sentence. I had a gash in my foot the size of a one inch triangle. You may wonder how I can be so specific. This is the reason why. If you know anything about tractors, you know there is a giant flashing caution light on the back of the tractor. The toy tractor has one too (not flashing, but very sharp). I had to hobble around on crutches for a day, then I pulled a muscle in my other leg because I was overcompensating for the injured foot.
I doubt any of this would have happened if I still had a clean house. And here I sit, blogging about it instead of actually doing anything about it.

You poor thing...I had to say that before I said this: ROTFL!!!! No really, I'm sorry you hurt yourself, but your injury sounds like something that would happen to me!

Well, not right now. The house is stupid clean ALL the time since we're trying to sell it. I think I might go crazy with all the clean! It will be nice ot finally move and settle back into my usual lazy routine.
