I should spend 8 hours a day on my hands and knees scrubbing my bathroom floor with a toothbrush, right? I, luckily, did not inherit my Mom's OCD cleaning gene and do not vacuum my floors twice a day and dust light bulbs each morning. Too bad I can't hire her to be my maid.<br /><br />Love the chance to win your book--cheers!<br /><br />www.vinobaby.blogspot.comKerry Ann @Vinobaby's Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295304663766870450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-29631806006308357302011-01-06T17:06:16.745-05:002011-01-06T17:06:16.745-05:00Great pics!!

For some reason he won't go along with it. I think it is because I don't work, and it wouldn't be quite fair for the poor soul cleaning my house while I sit lazily on the couch browsing the internet LOL.

When I first left full time paid employment, to become a full time unpaid at home mommy, my husband would come home and rave at the clean house, the prepared dinner, the lack of hamburger helper, etc etc. Now 10 years later,he raves much less!! I keep the dust and dander to a controllable level and scurry like a mad woman if anyone wants to come over. I now have teens who can help in a pinch, but a clean house every day is overrated, or very expensive. I'd rather be reading!!!<br />Oh btw, I think Fabuloso is also cheap, I see it at the dollar store, gag!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-5870262666235483732011-01-06T15:02:45.307-05:002011-01-06T15:02:45.307-05:00I would love to hire a maid, but don't think I...I would love to hire a maid, but don't think I could ever do it. It's not even that cleaning my house is that hard--we usually keep it neat, at least, so there's not a lot of picking up that has to be done. It's just so BORING. And that sparkling-clean look--and that awesome feeling of accomplishment--never lasts long enough.Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207913993047711075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-34703198537919337662011-01-06T12:28:25.987-05:002011-01-06T12:28:25.987-05:00Egad!

Definitely understand the cleaning lament/resolution. It use to be a do a little everyday plus BIG clean on the weekend routine, but in the past few years things have just gotten so busy it's hard to find the time. Now before you get squeamish...my house is in no way ready for a bull dozer or pack rats show crew...it's tidy and clean, but I can't promise that a picture would produce the "ping" of sparkle that we find so endearing. Great post...thanks for the laugh and the inspiration... ^_^Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-52184395116607386032011-01-06T12:15:21.278-05:002011-01-06T12:15:21.278-05:00Love the pics, Jenny!Love the pics, Jenny!Lauren Baratz-Logstedhttp://www.laurenbaratzlogsted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-12972484557017613942011-01-06T12:09:10.187-05:002011-01-06T12:09:10.187-05:00I'm marking down Fabuloso now to pick up.

What better than the aroma of cheap hookers in my house ;)<br /><br />I use to have a maid come in. I would get up 2 hours before going to work to clean it. I didn't want the maid to think I was dirty...<br /><br />I know have a pffft attitude. I will tidy every day, but "cleaning" is once a week and I force everyone in my house to pitch in. I no longer care if company comes over and my house is untidy, cluttered, or disorganized. If I like them enough to be in my house, chances are they like me enough to not care :)pamela Iselyhttp://pamelaisely.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-46860882275565441922011-01-06T11:49:52.263-05:002011-01-06T11:49:52.263-05:00Those pics are so hilarious, Jenny!!

Well, I didn't - and I still didn't have the help! LOL - I love how everyone just goes about their day with a meal that's magically cooked, on dishes that are magically sparkling, while wearing clothes that are magically washed, dried, and hung up to prevent wrinkles! I do beam when I get the occasional - Wow, you're the best mom ever! Kinda makes it all worth it! But, the question still lies - once I get back into the workforce, how WILL I get it all done...??
