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 am sitting here laughing at you. Not knowing your furn. even moves cracked me up. When your husb. gets through cleaning your house again, send him to mine for awhile. Guilt does terrible things to us. It isn't healthy so don't do that again. LOL

The grandkids are very careful to always wash their hands because grandpa has taught them well. He is the best - I wouldn't trade him for anything. I've had him for almost 43 years - I'm really spoiled.

I try to mix it up. A little cleaning, a little sewing, a little cooking, a little reading and ALWAYS letting dogs (we have 3) in and out! That way I don't get stiff from too much sitting. Also helps to control any possible guilt that might creep in if I spend too much time relaxing and not hardly any time doing the "neccesary" stuff.

My grandmother (who was a very wise woman) always maintained that "it's just as easy to pick up three weeks of dust as it is two". A neighbor (who cleaned almost every day) one day told my grandmother that since she says that often enough, she should put it on a pillow. So, she did!! And, I had it until 1993. Those certainly were words to live by. No, my house isn't dirty, but I suppose it could use a dusting, and the wash might need doing. I have more important (to me) things to do!!
