Jeanne,

I PROMISE I'll try to look around with blinders. I do insist on

wiping down my kitchen and keeping the tv screen viewable.....

> Darlene - I try to wear blinders in my house. I don't have the

energy yet to do any cleaning, my kids and hubby mostly don't care if

we live in clutter and dirt. I get too depressed if I take the

blinders off and actually see the mess. Maybe you gals who are

overdoing it should give it a try. LOL!

> My daughter's long-distance BF might be visiting here in a couple

weeks. It will be interesting to see if she cleans before he comes,

and what his reaction to our messy house is. She has never been face

to face with this BF. It's just been over the phone and internet.

Will keep you posted.

and our legs don't feel like jelly or electrified and walking isn't

painful, we say " hmm, I'm going to dust the living room. " Well

dusting the living room means we have to vacuum the living room and

since we have the vacuum out, we go ahead and do all the rooms that

have carpet. Well, now our living room and possibly our bedrooms

looking good and we look down at the kitchen floor and say " omg, look

work on the floor that has multiple layers of dirt (or in my case

georgia red mud). There! Now our floor is nice and clean. Then we

notice that the kitchen hasn't been thoroughly " wiped down " with

anything, just got lots of kisses and promises. So we pull everything

We take a break to pee and notice that the shower is filthy and the

toilet's ring is 2 " all the way around. We finish with our business

and start on the bathroom. The Ring is going to take awhile so we use

shower/tub and take down our shower curtain and toss it into the

washing machine so it gets the mold and mildew off.
