Spent 4 1/2 hours this morning making a dog shaped birthday cake for my 6 year old DGD. Loaded the dishwasher with what would fit before I left for the party. Now I am home and have the rest of the mess to clean up. My trick; deal with it in the morning when I am rested. Hate to look at the mess in the morning but my back won't take any more tonight. I love everyones tricks with sprays and such but with my allergies I can't use Pine-Sol or any other sprays, so I use a lot of those wipes. I know they aren't cheap but they work for me. And I can't live without my Swiffer Wet-Jet floor cleaner; great for all the dogs messes.
