My husband gets suspicious if I start cleaning "too" thoroughly - - - - "who'coming???"
Since retiring, I need to revamp my schedule - at first it was "time to play" - - but I need to revamp and get a little more dedicated cleaning structure in place - for exercise as well!!!

Also several rooms have hard flooring surfaces, easier and quicker to clean up when needed and dirty dishes hide in the dishwasher until it's full. Finished my morning coffee while on the computer and while on the way to my sewing room will do a little check of the downstairs rooms and then I feel free to sew and quilt as long as I need to today.

I clean every to weeks also unless I get in the mood, I have a policy that as long as my bathrooms are clean and the sheets on the bed are clean My house is clean.If you don't move anything on the tables no one will know you didn't dust.
I am at an age where I finally do what I want when I want and If i want. Have a great day and go sew.

I used to blame the mess on the kids - then they moved out. Then I tried to blame my husband - he worked out of town for 2 years. the house was still a mess. I'm running out of people to blame - it's me! My husband is a fantastic cleaner. Vaccuums EVERYTHING. Gets out the mini-shop vac - does baseboards and furniture - even moves the furniture. I didn't know it was supposed to move! But since I am retired and stay home (he still works) I feel guilty when the house is a wreck. Not guilty enough to do much about it, though.

I guess I am just spoiled rotten, I have a cleaning lady who comes once a week. Since it is just my husband and I we don't really make a big mess. She even cooks meals for the week for us and does the laundry. We are both retired and busy with our hobbies and volunteer a lot in our community. No time to clean!

I do it as a reward...when I have chores I do a chore "the bathroom" and sew for an hour. "The dishes" I sew for an hour....and so on. Otherwise nothing would get done I am the only one who does stuff around here so I try to get it all done early in the day and then I do this for a bit and then I sew!
