[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 651958, member: 17461"] I am of two minds about how clean the house should be. When I haven't been cleaning, I don't like the way the house feels. When I am cleaning, I am cleaning all the time because that seems to be what you have to do to keep a house really clean. But...I just don't want to be thinking about the house all the time. I have a friend who actually does Spring Cleaning. She does a room at a time, and she does that entire room completely. Then she moves on to the next room. Her house is always beautifully spotless. Her yard is spotless, too. Every Spring, she makes a huge commitment to flowering annuals. She keeps them beautifully through the Fall, and then out come the mums and pumpkins and corn shucks. I wish I could be that way. Sometimes, I wish I could be that way. I love the way the house looks and feels once it is done, but I don't want to stick with it. They say organization and ongoing discipline are key. Playing something beautiful helps me stick with it in a reasonable frame of mind. If I can keep a positive mindset as I go about it, I can stay with it until I am finished. [URL="http://www.flylady.com"]www.flylady.com[/URL] This site is helpful to me. Lots of very good ways to think about how to do what breaks down into an overwhelming, neverending task: creating a home. I think that creating a welcoming, well-run home is nowhere near as simple as we have all been led to believe. A well-run home is like beautifully presented music. Such a joy to be part of, but requiring an almost unbelievable behind the scenes commitment to attain. Cedar [/QUOTE]
