Oh yeah, the sweeper and mops are in there too.  The floor is as cluttered as the shelves.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2778579980174748023/2334809098585454456/comments/default/446033933597968675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2778579980174748023/2334809098585454456/comments/default/446033933597968675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thehousethatcleansitself.com/2007/07/creative-solutions-to-household.html?showComment=1186344900000#c446033933597968675' title=''/><author><name>Susan Kelly Skitt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13871921369901815459</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thehousethatcleansitself.com/2007/07/creative-solutions-to-household.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778579980174748023.post-2334809098585454456' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2778579980174748023/posts/default/2334809098585454456' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-354604364'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778579980174748023.post-2770932675417406700</id><published>2007-08-01T10:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-01T10:59:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Where: The dining room table&lt;br&gt;What: piles of pap...</title><content type='html'>Where: The dining room table&lt;BR/&gt;What: piles of paper/books/mail/everything!&lt;BR/&gt;Why: we throw the mail there when it comes in, then open it and throw it back.
