    Counters, floors and toilets.

    Mind you, the counters are an issue once you spread all the fabrics/blocks out to look at them and decide....

    Touche, this is also my problem, i work 10hr days 12hour with comute, and the other days i am watchin my rambunctious 14month old who is busy busy busy, wish i had time to clean. My house is extremely lived in. i would need a housekeeper to keep up, who has the money[/quote]

    Been there, done that. It leaves no time for housekeeping duties on the work days. One does well just to get the family fed, and do what you have to do before trying to get a little bit of rest before starting all over the next day.

    I feel for you!

    twenty years ago I used to clean for a living.
    At first I always wondered where everybody's "stuff" was?
    Almost every one of our 14 customers did this "thing" before we came.
    they shoved stuff in closets and drawers! We would come in and wash the bed clothes and floor rugs and replace them, scrub the bathrooms, vacuum the floors and do the windows and voila...they had a clean house...if you didn't open the closet, lol.
    Me? If my bed is made, my floors are clean...I can deal with the rest. Of course I have to wash dishes and laundry, but nobody is going to die or starve or go naked if I don't do it tippity top everyday.
    I used to think they would, LOL! I've come a long way...time to quilt etc.! :lol:
