I spring clean between Christmas and New Years. This year we are having the windows painted and washed. I can't do all the things I used to do so I do what I can.
A couple of years ago one of my very best friends celebrated their 45 anniv. Their kids invited all their friends over to clean in and out side of the house. Oh, parents didn't know. I would have killed my kids. Her house was so dirty I was embarrassed for her. I vowed to never let my house get that bad.
