but cleaning is FUN

Only crazy people enjoy cleaning. Yeah, I said it.

But sometimes the UG gets so incredibly messy and rather than me spend hours doing something I hate, it's easier to talk a group of youth into spending minutes doing something they hate. Or so I thought.

Today as the kids showed up and signed in, I told them they would have to do one of the "chores" off of the board before they could have a snack. Chores were things like sweeping a part of the floor, cleaning off a table, dusting the tv room... nothing too strenuous. It was like pulling teeth, but all of them helped in some way and the improvement from before and after makes my heart happy.

I should have taken before and after pictures. Maybe next time.

Or I could be super scary and do before and after pictures of my office. Even with Halloween around the corner, that might be too much frightening for you to handle.

Tomorrow=FRIDAY! And a home football game which means 5th quarter. Which means all the clean will be made messy. But I'm sure we'll have a blast. Stop by if you're 7-12 grade. The Underground will be open until midnight.
