it's my home. i live there. it is not a showcase for stuff that other folks like looking at. it is clean enough to be healthy, messy enough to be happy. and even if you could eat off the floor in a house, would you want to?? i got stuff to do, kiddies. i work full time, have a hubby who is retired/has parkinson's. he does nothing when it comes to the house. when i get a day off, does anybody really think i want to spend it buffing furniture? my ultimate goal is to eventually get it cleared out enough that my kids won't have to burn it down and start over. or maybe i should just provide kindling and matches in my will...
