I have relaxed a lot about house work. I have all hard wood floors so they get swept daily-- mopped when needed--dishes don't get done til there is enough to waste dish soap on--sewing room has a door--bed gets made--bathroom is always clean--the only spot in the house that needs a lot of attention is my desk. Its become the spot for all things I don't want to lose. I think I need a bigger desk that sets inside a large cabinet with doors. If the church ladies show up unexpected I would not be embarrassed -- so its clean enough
