Years ago I babysat 2 nephews and 3 neighbor kids in addition to my youngest. The kids were all within 4 years. Anyway, in the spring, I'd pay the kids a penny for each dandelion they pulled. And I dug a blue zillion up. So someone informed me that I was wasting my time. I told they the dandelions would be gone about the same century as all their dirty dishes.

I do what i have to, except for the dusting, and i tell everyone that it's there to protect the finish. So i don't bother it !! Hubby does the vacuuming and puts the dishes away ! The rest of the time is for quilting.

My dishes are done..mainly to cook dinner again.Laundry is done, I can prove that for the mountain on the couch. Ground level..I keep my drapes shut..bi-level house. Grandkids toys out for days without them here..no I don'have the one and 18-month olds pick up..grandma's house is fun..not a teaching place for the amount of time I have to take off quilting ! I do not like dead lines.self imposed or by request.

I keep my grandson during the day. He has a stuffed dog, truck and an old remote (he loves that thing). We aren't a toy buying family at all. He's happy playing in my scrap bin, kitchen cabinets, and books. He's at the age of taking out and putting back in. With a little one in the house I have to have bare surfaces and no clutter.

In my house quilt is a verb and dust is a noun LoL. I live in the desert and refuse to dust until I'm at a stopping point with my quilting. As long as dishes are done enough to cook again and the bed is made so I can see the quilt all straightened up on it I'm good. The word quilting is present tense right? Enjoy yours!!!

I only wish i stopped at one child - i came from what people say is a large family - I'm the youngest of 18 kids (17 biological, 1 half sister) I have 2 sets of twins and a set of triplets. I wasn't given the opportunity to have just one child. I rotated the chores between the kids from the time they were 3 (3 years olds can vacuum and dust - kinda) better than not doing at all.
I have been sewing for 30 plus years - i have never picked up sewing scraps - i always told my kids that if they want this made then you need to work for it. lol
