White tile is lovely. It matches the white walls. It matches any furniture you might own. It keeps rooms looking so bright and cheery, even at night, and I'm assuming even in the dark, dreary, snowy days of winter here! I look around, and although I do think to myself that it does look a little generic with white floors and white walls, I can be happy. I would paint them if I felt it would be worth the hassle. (But you will just have to trust me when I say it's not. Because what will happen is that the J man will be gone, when we must pack up and leave this place, and I will spend 2 weeks painting 8 hours a day by myself! At least I now have the comfort of being 99.9% sure I won't have to add pregnant to that like the 2 times before! This is when you find me crying and cursing color, and swearing that I will NEVER paint a wall again, especially red!)
White tile is lovely. It only takes about 15 minutes with a dust mop to sweep the 1st floor out the front door! I do this just about every morning after the kids are on the bus and on their way to school. The upstairs gets done every other day or two (my theory is outta sight outta mind...so when you stop by to visit and try to head upstairs don't be surprised when I tackle you at the bottom of the stairs claiming that the stairs are broken and we can't use them anymore!).
White tile is lovely. It collects every ounce of dirt on your shoe, every piece of lint that falls off your clothes, every crumb of food that falls from your mouth, every microscopic dust particle that settles from the air, and especially every strand of hair that falls when you brush your hair!
Yup, White tile is just lovely, it has shown me what our family is really like. We evidently are provincial, slobs who wallow in dirt and dust, and let our crumbs fall where they may. We (and when I say we, I actually mean seemingly only me) are losing our hair at such a rapid pace that by this time next year we (me) are counting on being completely bald! My family can collect way more than just dust bunnies . . . in less than one day, we have a colony of rabbits living amoung us!
I am going to invent a tray that you strap on before you come in the door that will hang just off of the floor and go every where you go in the house. That way, at the end of the day, you can just empty your tray into the garbage....and voila! A clean white tile floor!
