One thing that helps keep my house clean is each of the kids has a chore to do on the weekend. Clean a bathroon (and I mean put on the rubber gloves & scrub around the toilet clean!), vacuum the living room & sweep the dining room floor, pick up the game room in the basement, etc. Then they rotate jobs every week. It's like they own the room they clean & everyone is more careful & thoughtful.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557235801080603143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-57885069438807749662011-04-02T23:37:14.330-04:002011-04-02T23:37:14.330-04:00I use to be a clean freak till I started blogging!...I use to be a clean freak till I started blogging!

It becomes quite a challenge when you have a rather sloppy husband, and 3 1/2 year old who is taking after said husband. <br /><br />Fortunately, I am madly in love with said sloppy husband, so, what's a girl to do? <br /><br />As for the laundry, am I nuts for loving to do laundry? Especially, hanging it out on the line in the summer - I get to complete a job AND enjoy the outdoors, at the same time.

They say I am irritating. I say, "I have a problem, please try to overlook it". I need help in separating myself from cleaning at my house and cleaning at someone elses house. I love laundry too! And, I open bottles of cleaning stuff at the store to smell them.

Picking up the trail of dirty socks around the house drives me nuts, as does the yogurt cups left nowhere near the sink, etc. But the actual act of cleaning, polishing, etc. - I love that. I like to dust. I love waxing my counters. I enjoy running the steam mop. The only problem is I can't get to cleaning without first starting at picking up.<br /><br />The one thing I don't do is toilets - that's my hubby's job.laxsupermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797787877548962742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-82427932869507796182011-04-02T07:52:12.324-04:002011-04-02T07:52:12.324-04:00Yep, Debbie I'm a clean freak too!

When they all moved out I really couldn't believe how nice and neat the house stayed so I became a clean freak and I like it! Laundry dosn't bother me, I do ours and my youngest just brought his for me to do today, sounds crazy but I like to fold:)<br /><br />RondellSomething Nice and Prettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672141781621068025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-50813137113707523912011-04-01T23:56:08.105-04:002011-04-01T23:56:08.105-04:00WOW ladies, just came home and I am amazed at the ...WOW ladies, just came home and I am amazed at the response to this. honestly I am just tickled here.

I love Mrs Meyer's Lemon stuff and that's prolly out on my kitchen counter a LOT. :-) I love for things to be neat and tidy but I'm not a freak about it. My mother (again!) was constantly cleaning, washing, dusting, wiping, you name it. Our home was sterile...and miserable. I could not have company...kids come over 'cause "they would make a mess". I swore I would never have my kids & their friends feel like that. <br /><br />My daughter is a total clean freak & she can make you feel uncomfortable at times. My son & my brother have mellowed...and I love it.<br /><br />Don't hit me girlfriend ~ I LOVE doing laundry! :-) Never, ever have had a problem with it. When my daughter was still home, she would dust (my most hated chore!) and I did all the laundry. Worked beautifully!<br /><br />I don't judge others either...it's their homes and their choice. I think making someone feel welcome & comfortable is the best!<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-76434432425468736602011-04-01T23:19:42.775-04:002011-04-01T23:19:42.775-04:00OMG, you are so funny!
