I had a schedule for cleaning. Now that I'm older, I only seem to clean when I can no longer stand it. Funny how we change. I honestly thought I would care more, but my house no longer seems to be as important. Traveling and writing has taken over. Your kitchen/dining table looks impeccable. You should see my dining table. All manuscripts and critique stuff scattered all over. We can't eat there. My poor son , 15, only one left at home, eats in the living room with us. I hate to admit, "I've become one of those." It's only temporary though. At least that's what I keep telling myself.Gutsy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226653890127738115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463633428173967234.post-6638417983673995332009-10-04T09:05:29.300-05:002009-10-04T09:05:29.300-05:00*laughing!*
