Mopping floors

I was going to title this piece scrubbing floors but since I haven't done that in eons I have opted to use mopping in place of scrubbing. It's more honest.

My real question is do family and pets know the exact minute you start.

His lordship was out an about this morning visiting the guys over at the auto body shop. I put the dogs out on the lanai.

First I ran the vacuum. No problem getting the dogs out when they hear the central vac start up. However, I cannot run the vacuum and mop at the same time.

I was fairly lucky today. I got my office and the downstairs bathroom done and the overhead fan going to aid with the drying. Then I got the family room done, so my luck was holding out. Made to the very last swipe of the kitchen floor when the back door opened...and you guessed it...in came two dogs and a husband.

It makes me wonder. Does his lordship get some type of a 'message' and then rub his hands together and say "It's time guys, let's go aggravate her!" I swear they do.

So I close this blog with an almost clean floor. Maybe I'll have better luck next time.
