Im going to need everyone to take a DEEP breath and have a seat. I have some startling & traumatic confessions. (stick with it, the point is at the end) 1) On many occasions, when traveling, I use my husbands toothbrush. He uses it too. 2) The number of times I have pumped my own gas and then opened up a protein bar and eaten it, while simultaneously realizing I have not yet washed my hands since pumping the gas....well, its a shocking number. 3) Everyone wears their shoes in my house. All over my house. Sometimes I prop my shoed feet up on the ottoman, where inevitably, we sometimes eat. 4) There is small counter in my kitchen, the mail counter where mail and keys get dropped when we walk through the garage door, thats where you will find my geriatric cat sleeping 18 hours of the day. Yes, its a counter. In my kitchen. AKA kitchen counter. 5) My 2 dogs are part of the family. They lay in our bed, sometimes even under the covers. And they have licked my face WAAAAAY too many times to count. And I may have also seen them snacking on cat turds a time or 2. I hear its a delicacy. 6) While raising 3 babies, I picked up countless pacifiers off of the ground, licked them clean, and plugged them back into my spawns mouth. 7) I have realized that the suspicious thing my child was munching on was a cricket. And let him finish it, sans freak out. 8) I get flu shots. 9) I will always eat the errant almond I find tucked in the crack of my drivers seat. On occasion, the one off the carpet too. 10) I have carried the SAME (small) bottle of hand sanitizer around in my purse for well over a year. Because thats how often I use it. 11) Both of my dogs come running to me when I turn on the hair dryer. I will always pull the brush from my hair, brush their heads a couple times, and resume my hair drying. Now that is out of the way, here are a few more thoughts to go with it. I consider myself a very clean person. I always shower at least twice a day (with soap, in case you werent sure). My house is very clean, as its thoroughly cleaned top to bottom, twice a week. Laundry is done everyday. You will never find dishes left in the sink. No one would ever walk in and know we have pets in the house (I do take the cat off the counter before guests arrive). And here is something else I know - the important part: we are one of the healthiest families I know. The number of times that we get sick in TOTAL, as a family of 5, is far less than most individuals get sick in a year. Im not trying to pass judgements, but seems to me that maybe some of the germaphobes in the world should take some notes.... Despite all their efforts, they always seem to be the ones who end up the sickest. Or they just die early deaths because they spent their whole lives wound tighter than a bad face lift!!
