My sentiments exactly!

I feel the obligation, just can't always do it. I figure as long as the Health Department hasn't surrounded the place with yellow CAUTION tape, it's OK for now. Problem is, I can't quilt unless everything feels "caught up" and it never seems to be.
I know some about bipolar. My youngest daughter has that condition. Hang in there. Do what you can & don't feel guilty about what you can't. There are more important things than a spotless house. Hugs!

Inquiring mind would like to know.
Does it bother me to have a messy house so I can quilt? Um let me think...NO!!!! LOL Probably just a personal preference thing. Not that I'm a slob, but my house has been know to be "cluttered" at times. :roll:

Why are we talking about housework again? This is a QUILTING place!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite quip from the last time we talked about this dirty subject was 'If you're going to write your name in the dust, please don't date it.'

LOL, you can write ALOT in my dust!!!!!!!! Living out on a farm, I could dust everyday, and the dust will be back tomarrow! I have to have the dishes and laundry done, and the potty clean in case of visiters, the rest, when I can!

I try an follow the flylady method. www.flylady.net

Notice I said try..I have half finished somethings everywhere. I walk into a room and forget what I went for..But if it starts to get too far out of control I ban myself from the computer for a day. I'm almost worse than the kids.
