From clear across the country, I'm having the same problem!!! I have to empty the trash every night, wipe ALL the counters down, and basically be the clean freak I never was. When we got the kitchen tackled, they moved to the bathroom (2 males in the house = lots of overspray). So I have to wipe down the bathrooms a couple times a week. I sympathize and you're so brave for admitting you were wrong :)
