You have been peeking inside my windows....I am lucky that my hubby let me hire a girl to help a couple times a month - it gives me some more time in my sewing room - I really loathe housework at this point in my life - after 25yrs + of keeping home, dishes, laundry, etc - it just isn't fun anymore - I remember when hubby and I first married 25yrs ago - I thought keeping house was fun. I think its another reason why we don't need to accumulate as much stuff (except fabric) as we get older- less stuff to deal with and clean - luckily my hubby would rather me be happy above all else.
