Cleaning the house before your mom comes home

I guess I did six or eight loads of wash. No maybe 12 loads.
Including the stinking towels that had been used to soak up beer
spilled on the ground. Anyone over 21, would have noticed that
they had been used to clean spilled beer and now were smelly.
I picked up two dozen plates and glasses from your computer tables.
I know exactly what you ate (Pizza last night, Ramen noodles the night before...
hot chocolate..the sausages I left, eggs and something...)
six loads in the dishwasher.
I emptied at least three bags of garbage and two loads of recyclables.
I shoveled the snow in the driveway and sidewalk.
I cleaned the frying pan.
I left enough mess for your mom to see that you guys made a mess. But not enough mess to drive her mad.
enough mess to let her know I stopped over there, but did not spend too much time there
I did not clean the countertops, just picked up enough to know some teenagers lived there...
She would have saw the folded towels, done the way I fold... and figured I was there longer then she anticipated
and she would be mad at me again
but thank me for looking in on the kids more then she planned for...
