Yes, I am decluttering bedrooms before I can have fun.
|
I too bribe myself if I clean....thenI can go into the quilting room...sometimes supper is not quite what I had planned because the quilt room won!
|
I just cover the couch with an old sheet and when company comes over pull the sheet off... and wonder of wonders the couch is clean..use to steam clean it got smart and have more time to quilt!!!

I taught my kids since age three to never leave the bathroom until it is tidy. As they got older the were expected to dry the shower walls with a used towel and never ever leave the bathroom with the sink in a mess and everything put away. No way I was going to clean up their sloppy mess, they made it they can clean it. I don't clean up other's messes unless they are ill.

We have a Bible Study each Tuesday evening at our home - so I have to clean before it starts each week. I'm leaving the board right now to dust the living room furniture, make the coffee, lemonade, slice the roast for the pot luck we're having this evening. I should have done all this sooner, but wanted to quilt a bit, & that always ends up taking more time - next time I'll clean first then quilt!

I bribe myself all of the time. Luckily, summer break is just around the corner (I am a teacher) so I'll have more time for quilting!!!

Before I had my son my husband worked a job where he travelled Monday through Friday. He was home Friday night, Saturday and then would leave on Sunday. My house was never so clean! It is nicer having him home (and of course I just adore my little one) but I sure do miss those days of minimal cleaning and maximum crafting! :) |

You do it more often then I do.... Because of the 'cat' I at least vacuum (or try to) once a week, bathrooms get a 'lick and a promise' when they need it and it's a good thing I have a dish washer because I hate doing dishes..... The only thing I really do on a regular basis is the laundry---I hate to go naked :)

I gave up on the clean house years ago, but I do make sure all my chores are done before I start a big project. It's nice the boys are older now and at least do dishes and vacuum
