I used to spend my entire days off cleaning and doing laundry...etc. I missed out on so much when my kids were little, because I thought it had to be done, no exceptions. You get older and you get wiser
I keep things picked up because I still can't stand clutter, but if I get my house cleaned on my day off, YAY, but if I don't who cares
Life is to short to waste all your time on making sure there isn't a speck of dust in the house.
