My Cleaning Product Philosophy

First of all, I realize that I already posted today, but since I drank waaaaayyyy too much caffeine today, you get another one.

Now, onto the post......

I am attempting to clean my house today, but as usual I am sidetracked by several more important things....FaceBook (that's a whole other post!), the season finale of Privileged, and the Real Housewives of Orange County Confess.....as a result, all of the rooms I am attempting to clean are only half done (does that make me an optimist?).

As I am cleaning the bottom of the tub, I start to laugh, I am cleaning it with degreaser for the kitchen counters. Not because we are greezy people, but that is just the cleaner I happened to grab. Yup, that's how I roll, glass cleaner to scrub the toilets, degreaser in the tub, soap scum remover on my kitchen appliances, whatever I grab first is what I use to clean everything. I figure that as long as it looks good when I am done, what does it matter what I clean it with?

I guess the point I am trying to make, (and here is where I think the fumes have gotten to me, yet another reason not to clean too often), we may all have different ways of reaching a conclusion, but as long as the end result is positive, does it really matter how we got there?

It seems lately, in these tough times, that we are all so busy bickering about how to solve the problems of the world, we forget that, in the end we all want basically the same thing. We want our troops to come home, our house prices to recover, gas to go down, banks to be held accountable for the messes they have made, the best education for our kids, our soil to be safe from terrorism, the perfect pair of jeans that make our butt look great (is that just me?).

So, next time you are arguing with your friend over whether or not Obama is making problems better or worse, remember, just because you wouldn't use degreaser in the bathtub, doesn't mean it won't do the job. Strive to be a little more open minded to possibility and try to remember that we (mostly) agree on what we want to achieve, though our methods for reaching those goals may be vastly different, and all we are arguing is semantics.

PS - I want to read more blogs, and would like more people to read mine - send me some of your favorite blogs, and share mine with others. Thanks so much for your help.
