I keep assuming my 14 yr old will out grown this. Now, I'm not so sure....<br /><br />In my son's defense, he is autistic and just doesn't get the whole cleanliness thing. Once upon a time I could just put him in the tub but now all I can do is nag until he gets in there himself. All I can once he gets there is hope he is doing it right and not just getting wet and getting out. I have washed his hair many times after he comes out of the shower so who knows?

Today, after breakfast I started yard work and didn't get finished until after lunch time (still not finished), and then I had to go grocery shopping for 2 hours. Then I cooked dinner and cut up melons. I was on my feet all day! I can see why I got a migraine last Sunday - it was my body's way of telling me to just stay in bed! :DLilMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847160970054624743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-47239454494404505822011-09-17T20:19:05.586-04:002011-09-17T20:19:05.586-04:00Dear God, Christie, Let's not talk cleaning!! ...Dear God, Christie, Let's not talk cleaning!!

And I have a Roomba! I love my Roomba. It's a robotic vacuum cleaner and it works great. Except, you know, it doesn't dust or clean the bathroom or change the sheets. But it's probably the closest we'll get to Rosie for a while. :-)<br /><br />Helen, way to snatch that Tim-Tam mooching bird!

Lately with writing the kids and hubby have been taking over the duty Friday afternoons. <br />I'm thankful for the help, but have a few little irks when they clean. <br />I'm not going to complain if I don't have to do it. Bathroom scrubbing is also fine by me. I like a clean bathroom. Sometimes the labor really allows my mind to wander creatively. <br /><br />Congrats on the GR Helen.Landrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099833600342085109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-72017497404730237272011-09-17T14:14:36.082-04:002011-09-17T14:14:36.082-04:00Barb's right.

The dh and I are very bad about anything resembling housekeeping. We mostly dust, vacuum, etc., when we're expecting company.<br /><br />I least object to washing dishes. We have a dishwasher but use it only when we have guests. The rest of the time, we generate so few dishes, it seems like a waste to run it. Despite the claims of various manufacturers, we don't trust it to get clean food that's been drying a day or two, and if you have to wash the dish in the first place, why not just get it clean and call it done?<br /><br />I can zone out washing dishes. I can't do that so much with other chores.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-23657907481065740902011-09-17T13:46:55.746-04:002011-09-17T13:46:55.746-04:00Helen, congrats on the rooster!

Monday used to be my cleaning day, and I loved that. But now it seems like Mondays are always too crazy busy. I work from home, and can set my own hours to a degree, but some work has to be done RIGHT THEN, and seems like lately, it's been Mondays. <br /><br />And some weeks the house just doesn't get cleaned.
