I clean because...

...I feel better knowing that whatever tasty morsel Liam just picked-up off the floor and put in his mouth only has dirt that is a few days old on it

...I am a mom and society expects me to spend a significant portion of my time cleaning

...I don't want to be shown-up by the babysitter who comes twice a week for 4 hours and always leaves the house looking spiffier than when she got here

...The noise of the vacuum drowns out the sound of whining, screaming, and crying

...It is cheaper to wash socks and underwear than buying new

...We run out of clean spoons every 24 hours

...I don't want to scare the mailman/UPS man/FedEx lady off from delivering packages to our house (though, it'd be nice to scare off the solicitors and Jehovah's Witnesses who always seem to ring the doorbell and make the dog bark just as the kids have fallen asleep, thus, waking everyone up and making me extra grouchy)

...It's a way to burn some calories

I needed a few reminders :)
