I used to love to entertain but I it took one day to figure out what to make and buy groceries, another day to clean the house and cook and a few hours for clean up. My husband is domestically challenged and I ended up doing everything. Too much stress! I love to cook also but I now just do it for family. Looking back to the entertaining days, I don't even know where most of those people are these days. What a waste of time!

There is a sign on my sewing room that says This mess is a place. I am thinking of putting it on the backdoor. I do keep the dishes done as the kitchen door is the door everyone uses and I think the EMTs if we have to call them will take better care if the kitchen at least looks clean.

I have 2 girls in high school ( yes, i know, don't say it!). Some days I cannot keep the house clean for nothing. We are also remodeling the kitchen... That works too, nothing in it to clean.LOL ... I still manage to quilt however when the girls come over why is it that the crisis begins!!!! The phone is ringing off the hook with this or that ( usually the kids) errrrggghhhh....

When I worked I cleaned every Sat before I did anything else. Not any more, I clean bc I can't stand it any longer.

Not me!.. once I'm in that sewing room, there IS no other part of the house. I use the" 5,10, 15 minute" rule; if I can do it in 5,10, or 15 minutes, I'll do it, other than that I usually get a wierd desire to clean early on Sunday mornings before breakfast.......I work a 4 day week, Fridays are my time, maybe I'll do some laundry...
