I had to share this blog with you all...I felt such sympathy for this Mom of three. She broke down and did an experiment...she stopped cleaning up after her kids for a week...it was a revelation. She is a wonderful writer who has a great sense of humor and more patience than I will ever have. Now I don't have kids but I can still relate, I know how anal I can be in regards to keeping a neat and tidy home. Just for fun my sweet husband will sneak around and move objects...just to see if I will notice...and of course I do. Do I have a problem, maybe. Do I always have to have the sink empty and the counter sparkling, the couch pillows poofed and the floor swept...not anymore. Since we moved into this house a year ago I promised myself to not be such a perfectionist...in the housekeeping department...I still have my days and am a work in progress. Anywho...go read her blog...it will make you feel good! Go back to the older posts to get to the beginning...I really loved that she put her kids lunches in doggy poo poo bags...
Cheerio, Susan
I remember those days, I would put the things they didn't pick up in bags and take them to the salvation, they caught on quick;) I can't relax if my house is a mess, and being neat just means I can find things.
