Clean toilets help me write

It's hard to keep focus and study... and write "statement of purpose" essays when your bathroom smells like pee. Like Yankee Stadium public restroom pee. I know what you're thinking "eww... does this chick ever clean her bathrooms?" Let's just get one thing straight- I have three sons - three boys with bad aim and quite possibly ADD. God-forbid anyone even says anything remotely interesting while they are tinkling - their ears, head, and pee follow the direction of the distraction. (note to reader: never stand within 3 feet of a little boy peeing --- wet leg not cool)

That being said, my bathrooms need to be cleaned a minimum of two - three times a day. Otherwise I start feeling like I need a hot dog and a box of cracker jacks every time I pass an open bathroom door.

So, when I sit down in front my laptop with all the intent in the world to finish that essay or spend 30 minutes reviewing notes, practice problems - whatever- the first thing that comes to mind is "I should be cleaning toilets right now".

Today I was actually able to get some work done because the bathrooms smell like linen & sky, lol. You wouldn't believe the productivity increase from a clean bathroom. I finished all of the pending essays I had to write, wrote personnel action letter for a friend of mine, and even managed to work out my *course schedule for spring. (As in the classes I want to take as opposed to actually get to take once registration opens.)

**edited to note: No, I do not write my essays in the bathroom.  I just happen to be a little neurotic.
