I get one room clean and move on to another and the kids go mess up the clean room. The circle of life in my house.

Without it, I come perilously close to loathing my husband.Sharon L.

I am not a housekeeper, and I live in a barn that really isn't ever going to be a finished dwelling. That's not to say I'm a peace with the mess, but I'm happy to hand over a couple dozen dollars to someone once a month to do a little housekeeping for me. I figure it keeps the economy rolling along.<br /><br />-toyfotoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-52562771132463964532006-11-15T22:13:00.000-05:002006-11-15T22:13:00.000-05:00Here's a few more of my favorite little quips abou...Here's a few more of my favorite little quips about this subject that that my mom had hung in her kitchen:<br /><br />"If there is no tomorrow, how will I wash the dishes?"<br /><br />"Four letter dirty words: Iron, Wash, Cook"<br /><br />"You can touch my dust but please don't write in it. "<br /><br />"So this isn't home sweet home, Get Over It."<br /><br />and the unequivocal, "Martha Stewert Doesn't Live Here."<br /><br />I am also not much of a housekeeper, though I think I feel more guilt about it. But I don't think 60 years from now on my deathbed I will say, "I wish I had spent more time cleaning" and so that is life :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-65230654845084337822006-11-15T21:40:00.000-05:002006-11-15T21:40:00.000-05:00I'm a terrible housecleaner, yet I aspire to be Ma...I'm a terrible housecleaner, yet I aspire to be Martha-freakin-Stewart.
