    You know after a while it really doesn't matter. If it gets done it gets done, if someone doesn't like it then they are welcome to do it. When I am on a roll do not mess with me. The clean house police know better than to mess with me :lol:

    Try to do my work in the morning and then sew, otherwise nothing would get done.

    I used to be absolutely manic about housework..but these days I have eased off a bit, mainly because of my health but also because I am now a quilter. I try and break everything down into "micro jobs" and have a rest between. If I go crazy with cleaning I end up paying for it the next day...it's just not worth it. Think I'll check out the flylady website sounds pretty good and I really need my "quilting fix" daily.

    My housework suffers but I went most of my life thinking a clean house was the most important thing then I found quilting....and the rest is history. "Don't sweat the small stuff and it is all small stuff."

    I am a widow - I used to blame my husband for the mess around here but he's been gone for 3 years and nothing has changed. But I just keep sewing and don't let it bother me. When my friends come to sew/quilt every Thursday night, I tell them the dust bunnies are my friends - don't bother them.

    Sounds like my house.

    David,
    where did you get someone to "CLEAN HOUSE" for 40 bucks!! It has gone up to $150 to start here. I can't afford it since I retired it's either a clean house or quilting. I want to downsize but a smaller house in a retirement village would cost more than our home. Guess I need to borrow your cleaner.

    I dreamed my whole house was clean.

    this is a recurring nightmare.

    My husband says we don't have much longer to live so we need
    to enjoy it and not worry about the house. So I don't worry unless
    company is coming then I get busy at it.
