clean,clean,clean

I rarely helped my wife. I am often disappointed, when coming home from work, my home state of untidy. When I got home from work, I want to go home a neat and clean. Feeling tired after work, often makes me emotional when I saw the house in a disheveled state.

Thats very nice of her. Im sure you helped some? My husband likes a clean house, but dosent get upset if its not perfect from time to time. I like to keep it clean though as its part of my job and I do it for my family. I want them to be comfortable and happy and know ppl can come over and they wont be embarressed. Plus I think my husband enjoys coming home from work and not feeling like he needs to clean.

Nice to know that you also give yourself a break from those chores. It's really difficult to be a housewife. The chores are unending. It is up to you to end them whenever you think they are already wearing you out.

Sundays I prefer to be lazy. I do some laundry if I have to, depending on what needs to be done, but I try to give myself one day off. I figure my husband gets two days off when his scheduale permits so I should at least get one. There is always something to do.

Right now with our son, everything is messy. Especially mealtimes and crafts, because he just doesn't have the motor skills yet. Outside is good, because fresh air and light is nicer anyway. And it's less work. We don't have a yard, though, so there isn't really a place. We're thinking about buying a house when he gets older so that he can play outside.

Working does put a strain on your time. You want to spend it with your family. Just keep doing what your doing. We have messy activites, sometimes. I prefer them outside. Unless its building with legos or something that wont ruin anything. I enjoy building with my son. My daughter loves coloring and they enjoy the crayola coloring pens that you can use on windows. A pain to clean sometimes, but its fun to see what they come up with.

I just prefer clean and smelling nice. People come over and I usually dont have anything to apologize for, of course depends on the day and if your just stopping by and the house isnt perfect, well should have called. I try though because Im crazy. I think I clean as if company were coming over everyday.

We get a lot of dust here too, although in WA there seemed to be alot as well. I can dust once a week though, unless it gets bad for some reason. Dust is so annoying. I also dislike stains on carpets. With two kids and two dogs, its a never ending battle. Sometimes I fel my world revolves around cleaning. Just keep it up. No matter how much I clean I dont think my house could be squeaky clean, even though I would like it to be.

lol! If your comfortable its not my house. To each his own.

I know, I clean a room and they trash it. We have a glass tv stand, always finger prints. I clean it with windex once a week. Its pointless to do more than that. I still think my house could be cleaner, but what I do is exhausting enough. Im ready for bed by 7. I get up at 5:30 to get myself ready and start to get my kids ready. My daughter is in school and son starts next year, but im homeschooling next year so Im not getting up at 5:30. I hear you though, it never ends.

Ill have to remember that. I clean all the time and some one comes behind me and messes it up. I just clean it up, I have a puppy so she still has accidents. My daughter is 8 and son is 5. Their job is to clean their rooms, but battles. They have to learn though. I tink kids should grow up helping out. I have to admit its hard for me to though since I like things a certain way. I let them do it and than I fight myself to not fix it. I wait till the evening and than fix it so they dont know. I want them to feel like they did a good job. Playing in my sons room sometimes can be hard. He loves legos and he gets them everywhere, but its fun digging in the lego bins and building things. Much more fun than cleaning.
