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.

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.
