My house always gets a lick and a promise to do better the next time. My furbaby Brutus likes to play on his back with his toys so he's like my little Swiffer. He gets a good brushing. When the sink gets full the dishes get washed. I am not "Debbie Domestic" nor Betty Crocker. When steaks are on sale I buy up a bunch. Supper for DH in 8 minutes. That is the best meals in 30 minutes I can do other than company stew. We are not clothes horses so not many loads. We try to keep things simple. I go to my sewing room or computer and he goes to the tv after supper. He has been helping me cut up jean squares though. He's been on a pizza binge. That doesn't hurt my feelings. Dixie, Ziploc and Mr. Reynolds are always welcomed to the table. They help cleanup under 5 minutes. If I can't get cleaning done in 30 minutes or less I promise to do better the next time if I have time.
