Multitasking mishap

The other day I was busy cleaning my house, which is sadly a much too rare occasion. I kept stumbling over things I was ashamed to find as well as really grossed out that I hadn't found it sooner. 
(ex. a towel used to mop up a potty training accident that got wadded up into a corner and left there as other clothing got pile on top of it, a half used loaf of bread almost unrecognizable as bread due to the fabulous shades of green fuzz sitting on the top of the fridge waaaay in the back, a puddle of who knows what kinda of liquid under RJ's bed between the mattress and the bottom of the tent that sits on his bed, a freakishly thick ring around the kitchen sink under all the stacked up dishes, yeah my hose got gross)
I decided that it was about time I moped. I have a hard time convincing my self to do this worthless chore since hours after I do it you can't tell it's been moped in the last month. Plus I have to use my precious nap time to do it to prevent wet floor accidents. I placed the bucket in the sink with bleach and dish soap to fill up as I ran to switch out the laundry. 
I then began the hunt for laundry, sorting toys and tidbits from clothing plus destickering the clothing that had been lovingly decorated by RJ. This is a rough chore because Sam has discovered how fun it is to get into clean clothing (which is stored in totes because were nomads and have no dressers for our clothing, perfect level for him to dig through). So I have to sort out what i dirty, clean, and what was once clean but now deemed dirty from being in too close proximity of an especially dirty item. 
While pilfering the bathroom for laundry I noticed the toilet needed some attention (since when? not sure) So I put cleaner on it to scrub later. I think even a phone call might have interrupted this little jaunt.
I walked into the kitchen to switch out my kitchen towels and OH NO!!! I forgot the mop bucket filling up! It would have been no big deal but I had put dish soap in the water. So as the water streamed down the drain, the bubbles billowed up and over the sink and down to the floor. Oh phoo. Least I was planning on cleaning the floor anyway. After I gathered up all the bubbles and cleaned up the mess, I realized how cool it would have been to take a picture of the bubble statue. Sorry you dont get to see it! 
I even considered recreating it just for documenting sake.
