I wish I could be more like you! I can't sleep at night knowing something is out of place. But then again, I don't have kids yet, so I'm sure that will change! Love your blog. Thanks for visiting mine. =)

Oh we are kindred.

I just have the guilt of not being the domestic goddess. I think I rebel b/c my Mom was such a clean freak. Well, freak doesn't sound very nice when you are talking about your Mama, maybe neat nic is better or is it nick?

Are you guys in East Tennessee? That is my old stomping grounds.. Now we are NC folk.

Love your blog and look

Good for you! Kids grow up to fast. Housecleaning will be there when they move out.

Great post! I really hope I can be like this when I have kids... right now I tend to like everything to look a certain way... Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I always find myself distracted with cleaning by the call of the computer or, well, of more fun things to do!

Stopping by from SITS :)

2010-03-10T01:30:27.502-05:00

When my son was born...I had a lot of "friends" from a hoity toity neighborhood and felt like I always had to be spotless...I vacuumed and mopped at least 2x per day...and then I got smart...these people were not my friends...and the Wiggles should not be raising my kiddo.

LOL my mom was the complete neat freak. LOL I think I ran away from that style but now I've come to a happy medium ... well it's happy for me. Now for hubs maybe not ... lol

2010-03-09T23:43:23.666-05:00

I'm so that way, too. It's nearly midnight and I've still got a restless toddler in my lap. I'm dead tired too so I'm not about to stay up even later than he is so I can clean. HAHA!

2010-03-09T22:31:17.142-05:00

So...I've had the same issue with my sister and her house for..well...years. Ever since my nieces came along, actually. I'm a Virgo. A very OCD, everything-in-its-place, no dust anywhere Virgo. She is not. Visiting her used to bug the crap out of me and I would spend my whole visit cleaning and organizing....until I got home and realized that I had probably only spent one afternoon with

2010-03-09T22:20:55.752-05:00

I'm struggling to find the happy medium here - lots of clutter, but it's clean - although last summer we indulged in a cleaning lady so I could enjoy the time off from school with the kids - hoping to do the same again this summer!

I enjoy a clean, clutter-free house. Unfortunately...

2010-03-09T22:13:18.803-05:00

I enjoy a clean, clutter-free house. Unfortunately, I don't enjoy actually working to get it that way. I need a new housekeeper so badly. (Mine quit a year ago and it's been getting worse and worse ever since.)

2010-03-09T20:31:56.208-05:00

Right there with you girlfriend! Life is too short to stress over tidiness.

2010-03-09T20:21:40.167-05:00

I love your philosophy. I, too, suck at housecleaning.

Debbie, I am honored that you visit my blog. I cannot believe how huge things have gotten over here.

Keep it up, Woman!

2010-03-09T19:42:03.151-05:00

LOL. Personally? I feel that a house that looks 'lived in' is filled with laughter and fun. It's um...lived in! That's a good thing.

2010-03-09T17:57:35.065-05:00

standing ovation outta me--- i love this .
and what a way to say so much -- and not beat up on yourself. i am impressed !
i've lived the last 14 years the same way -- in a hell pit of mess and clutter-- but i never found a way to come out of it smilin. i loathe and abuse myself for the squalor i leave in my wake.

i'm claiming your outlook on life from this day

2010-03-09T15:49:52.303-05:00

I just can't believe how funny you are sometimes. I wish you would write a parenting book so I could throw the rest of my parenting library in the trash and not be tempted by all those expensive classes in town promising me a better sleeper, out of diapers, and well behaved child. I am so glad I stopped by today, I feel so much better about how out of control our basement has gotten.

2010-03-09T15:41:06.702-05:00

Oh, so much in commmon. Clean house? Something fun to do instead? I'm such a better fun person than housekeeper.

2010-03-09T14:38:05.140-05:00

I am a horrible housekeeper as well. However, I do not have a set of twins to keep me busy. I'm just not a good cleaner. I love my house cleaner (she comes every two weeks as well), and think of her as a second mother. So, I know how you feel.

2010-03-09T14:35:51.219-05:00

Cleaning to me seems to be something I can do as I go along, however I have been in times when cleaning was just one of those things I would get to when I got to it.

That is too funny that you had an oven fire. I have had one of those, too. :-)

2010-03-09T13:38:52.070-05:00

I don't like to clean when people are around. Does that sound strange? I have my own way of cleaning and even though Greg often will ask if he can help, I decline, because I don't want to tell him, "no, clean this way" Lol... And I don't want to spend the time cleaning when I could be with him, so often, after he goes to sleep, I'll clean. He says, "Fairies come
