Housecleaning

It's perilously easy to ignore housecleaning for the week or so before you leave on vacation -- you're not gonna be there, right? Then when one is gone for a week or so, the dust doesn't go on vacation, it continues to collect in your empty house. Then for a week or so after you get back, you're newly home & haven't got around to it yet. I'm a haphazard housekeeper at best, but even I can get embarrassed when the dust-bunnies start mutating into dust-St. Bernards. We gave the bathroom & kitchen (the most critical areas) a good once-over this morning before sitting down to watch some football & run the nine thousand loads of laundry that got backed up.

We've been living in this house as a sort of temporary waystation, a step up from a hotel room but just a place to park it until the dome is finished. Well, that's not going to be happening anytime soon, so we have resolved to get this house knocked into a little bit more homey shape. A new couch, some pictures on the walls, we'll see how the place looks.

Happy New Year, Kay! I know what you mean about the house cleaning. Ours is a mess right now and I really am annoyed by it enough that I might actually start shoveling out some extraneous "stuff." We haven't seen you in so long! Is football keeping you away? Chelle
