and i still have time to work 50 hrs a week, course, i don't have a choice about that one... 3 mile walk most nights after work..
and i still have time to quilt, or paint...or go on this board...
i think its just a matter of organization & putting things away when your done with them.... if the house stays picked up.. it only takes 1/2 hr to dust one nite, 1/2 vacuum the next nite... i can't relax & quilt or read if the house needs attention...
I sat here and thought about this for a while and decided that
1. you must be a lot younger than I am.
2. your house is a lot smaller than mine - I still live in the one I raised my kids in, despite the fact that they are nearing the age 50 mark - they used to say they could play basketball in the attic, and there REALLY is enough room up there - above the 2nd floor. The house has 5 bedrooms.
3.you can still SEE the dust
4. you care about the dust a whole lot more than I do -LOL
All this talk about cleaning finally made me call my cleaning lady. She's coming Monday.
