MSN isn't working so I'm going to type into an open email window and eventually cut and paste it into a post.
  
 Okay, the way I wanted to clean isn't working right for me.  I did clean the boys' bath pretty well but once I came out into the dining room, the clutter and having to move stuff around makes this a different kind of job.  So I'm just going to list out everything and tackle one at a time like I did with the kitchen.
