I have alot of online work. Sometimes, I just cannot do enough housework during the week! This week got so busy, I just could not finish it all. I am cleaning all weekend because I want it done....or do you say NOT! LOL

Although I do a little each day I have to be up at 4 am every day to fit everything in; housework and my writing. I can't stand the house in a mess and I have to clean it up. It so difficult! What I wouldn't do to be able to hire a cleaner! Sometimes I wish I was one of those people who live in messy houses and they just don't care, I bet they are happier than me! Hope you got all your cleaning finished!

There is other work. We are talking about getting all our computer work and housework done. It is more then 8 hours of work everyday! It is so much more then just cleaning, it is also cooking and other things.

I think you are off your heads to get up at 4 am just to do the cleaning. Surely your house doesn't get that dirty to have to go to that extreme.

Cleaning, you have got to be kidding. I stay as far away from cleaning as possible. Just the thought makes me want to stick my finger down my throat. LOL I can when it is only necessary.

OMG since we have lived in our house here we have had some much company I have had to so much deep cleaning. I know what you are talking about cleaning all weekend long. I have not done that since February. I do have to clean my carpets once again but I am out carpet shampoo. Casteel soap works well but the bubbles are horrible.

Hi eaforeman6! Oh no, i really don't like cleaning on weekends. I do have my cleaning spread out each morning for the whole week and every weekend I always spend it with my father and grandmother at my grandmother's home. I wouldn't do anything more cleaning over the weekend--no no no! Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

I am so glad for you that you can be free on the weekends. It is nice. I can sometimes, but all the time, no! I have certain standards and I am going to keep them! Appreciate the response!

Say if I lived nearer I could come over and help you with your housework, I am very domesticated, and will lend my hand to anything EXCEPT ironing, that is the only job I wouldn't or could do, or cooking either! Anything else Wolfie is your man! If you cooked me a nice meal I would happily help you to give you more time for your online work, now that's fair isn't it! Then after it's all done we could sit and relax with a hot chocolate and a great dvd!

You and I share the ironing problem...lol I dont like to iron either. You sound like a very kind and helpful person. See, ladies can see by you as an example, that many men are very considerate and do have the right attitude. I like a man that can take care of domestic things, it shows they care!

Oh, I believe it. It takes more hours trying to earn online. It is still work and we still have to clean...but it does make it easier to schedule , when you can work from home....appreciate the response....I like having the laundry going while I am working, being at home, does have it;s advantages....

I can only do a bit at a time and I have to do a little each day or I would get too far behing. When I was able to work before disabilities I'd work all week then come weekend or days off I'd have to go hard. I just can't do that anymore. Thank You and Take Care.

I cleaned downstairs last night...and tonight I'll clean my bedroom and my craft room as a friend is coming over to scrapbook tomorrow.....so I have to clean up my stuff I have laying around....but no....I don't clean all weekend. I live by myself and most of the time I am up here on the computer so it really doesn't get that bad...only when I have the little granddaughter here....but that's okay. I'd rather have a mess then a clean house without company!

yes some weekends i spend cleaning all the clothes, my room and just everything...so those weekends are not pleasurable as they should be. but not all the weekends. there is one more reason for this is i don't really like anyone else to touch the things in my room...like some typical college boy .
