it’s in the car,” Farber said. “Half the time, I’m like jumping in and out of the car. I don’t have time to clean it. I try to get to the car wash as often as I can but it doesn’t always happen.” Compare that to her husband Steven Farber’s brand new BMW, which the kids have only been allowed to ride in a couple of times. “His car is like the sanitarium,” she said. “He doesn’t even let me drive the car.” Farber admits she would never let her house get this way. ABC News asked germ expert Dr. Chuck Gerba, a University of Arizona microbiologist, to swab every inch of Farber’s SUV and herhusband’s BMW to let them know, for better or worse, what’s growing in there. “We found that cars are the moldiest of all forms of transportation,” Gerba said. He added that most people don’t realize their cars are perfect breeding grounds for germs. that can cause skin infections. “In cars, germs seem to tend to build up because people aren’t really cleaning or disinfecting these areas,” he said. “Our germs are traveling with us and everybody that travels in that car carries their germs and leaves them in your car.” Gerba took the samples back to his lab while Debra Farber waited and worried. “It’s definitely making me nervous. I mean, obviously, I wouldn’t want to expose the kids to any harm … They both have colds now,” she said. “I’m sure you’ll find plenty of germs in the car.” Unfortunately, Farber was right. Gerba found millions of bacteria on the door handles, seat and floor of the SUV,

New Environmental  product for washing dishes…….. The Magic Product http://magicproductsllc.wordpress.com

I look around me and see piles of things everywhere. Piles of my sons books and toys, piles of paper work and piles of goodness knows what else!I KNOW that we have too many things, I know that we don’t need all that we have, I know that I would be better off without a lot of them (both financially and mentally) … so why haven’t I done anything.

It’s that age old problem… STARTING and FINISHING!!

At the beginning of the year I made a real effort to tidy my son’s bedroom… putting the books on the bookshelf, tidying the toys into the boxes under his bed, laying his rug neatly, ensuring all the clothes were in the drawers - and that they were all clothes that are still appropriate in size for him now (or in the very near future). I am proud of what I achieved in his room. I felt a sense of “I have finished this room to the best of my ability” … and, I have maintained it!

In doing his room, I had to sort out some old clothes of his - giving some to charity, some to a friend and lending some to my sister-in-law for her new son and also selling some on Ebay.

I have tried over the last couple of weeks to do similarly throughout the house, but have never reached that satisfaction of “I have finished this room to the best of my ability” - and therefore I haven’t maintained it - mainly due to not having enough decent storage for many things.

I think that the reason I managed to completemy son’s room was that it is a manageable space with good storage options - underbed baskets, 3 bookshelves, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers. I also purchased a ‘pop-up basket’ to store all the cuddly toys which had previously been occupying the bookshelves.

In order to make more progress I need to focus on SMALLER areas at a time. I plan to work on the drawers in the house - one each day - to try to free up some actual storage room - as some of these are just storing/hiding unnecessary clutter.

I’m hoping that in doing so, I will not only be getting rid of things, but also making some money on Ebay from the unwanted (by me) things in the house.

Why is it that the day you have a million things to do, and a million more to do tomorrow, your parents call and tell you that they want to take you to dinner (with old family friends you haven’t seen in YEARS and would love to see!)? Why do they call you two hours before you have to leave? Why do you then possibly suggest they follow you home to pick up their guest bed from your living room that has been there for six months now when you’ve spent all morning & early afternoon working on homework and getting some announcements ready, therefore only your bathroom is spotless? Why is it that you still have such a clean-complex from your mother that you can’t let her see that your coffee table might be so cluttered you’re embarrassed by it? WHY!

My bedroom is spotless now. I have vacuumed the entire condo. Now I have to pick up the living room, finish arranging my Swap-Bot postcards to go out in Monday’s mail, do the dishes and then get ready in the next two hours. I think I can handle this. *sigh*

Hey, tomorrow at church I’ll get to look at today and laugh … I’ll have a very clean house AND have gotten free dinner from my parents out of it!
