David, no, no, no. You can't wait. Bad things happen. Just get out a trash bag every night and make the boys go on trash patrol. Put the box, the napkins, everything in the bag and get rid of the evidence. coke cans go in recycling. Then, swab the whole kitchen with bleach right before she comes back and you'll be a hero.

Another vote for putting the trash in the bag it enters the house in. The time consuming part is dumping out the half-drunk sodas before stuffing them back in the McD's bag.

Good tip for the mop with bleach thing. Folding the clothes you wash is another time consumer.

1) careful what you swab with bleach some things (e.g. cats, hardwood floors) don't handle it so well

2) Left Behind? I thought you weren't
big on dispensationalism and its eschatology .

In any case take care and know that the Good Lord watches over Fools, Children and Husbands hmoe with the kids...

Me and the boys have been left behind.

Let me guess, your were indoors at the time and your ceiling ruined Gods will? You really need to build a hatch so you can be sure to catch the next rapture.
