I keep a pretty clean house but lately I've been known to get up early, take something out of the freezers to defrost for dinner, sweep the floor and retire to my sewing room for most of the day. DH does the dinner dishes and vacuums the stairs for me. Laundry gets done when the basket is full. As I get older, I find that having a spotless house is not as important as doing what I enjoy ... sewing. :-)
