We're living in a hole?

I would like to say - I'm a pretty good homemaker.. that I keep the floors clean, the dishes washed, the clothes ironed and fresh. Oh yes, I like to think that, I do... I keep it in my head because if I don't I'd have to get off of here and go clean something because blogging doesn't come first, no, no.. cleaning should. Well today I got hit with reality... Amelia comes crawling into my and seriously the top of her little feet and knees were black... okay, not black, but DIRTY gross. ( I tried to take a picture just to prove how bad, but she was being wiggly and truthfully I really didn't want you to see.. hee,hee) I seriously laughed out loud - Ha ha ha, jokes on me. I'm not such a good home maker after all. Thank goodness for those Eco-Friendly cleaners I just got in the mail (a giveaway coming soon) to help me with this dirty place. I did start cleaning.. not because it needed it.. oh no, because I LOVE to clean! Ha ha ha. Okay, so really we don't live in a dirt infested, house, but it does get dirty and it gets dirty way to fast. It probably doesn't help with the windows being open. Cleaning is basically like laundry - it's the chore that never goes away. Arghh - Amelia learn to walk already so we don't have proof of how dirty the floors really are. I need a cleaning lady - bbbeeecccaaaa!

I know how you feel...it seems to get dirty SO fast!! Especially in summer when we're tracking in mud, rocks, sand, dirt, etc. :) Oh well...my mom always says that a really clean house isn't the most important thing and I tend to agree. :)

Hahaha, thanks a lot! Seems like you and Mom have both had the same idea for me these past few days :)

I feel your pain--the cleaning never ends!...But some days are more overwhelming than others. You'll have to go read my "Party Clean" post:

I can't stand things to be messy and gross, but they get that way sooo fast around here--It feels like I'm always cleaning and yet people are forever showing up when it's NOT clean and I'm always worried they'll think it always looks like that--I'm a little neurotic--LOL! (I even have a before and after post saved as a draft about my mess--ha ha!)
