Not in a creepy way. Uh. Okay. I totally relate to this secret sickness!!! My aunt came over once to wish me happy birthday (she got the date wrong) and asked to use my bathroom that hadn't been cleaned in I don't know how long. I mean who "stops by for a sec" then asks to use the bathroom?! This has happened so many times. AND my bedroom door is ALWAYS closed! Sometimes I run to close it before I even open the door - haha! One time I even had a laundry basket, full of junk from my kitchen table that I'd literally swept into the basket moments before company arrived, stay in my room just like that through 2 years and a move. I'm BAD at housekeeping. I'm totally making your binder though. The menu/shopping list thing is pure genius!! Thank you :) .-= Nicole´s last blog ..<a href="http://johnnikkimarshall.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html#2351104841918927716" rel="nofollow">Heard from Marshall today...</a> =-.

I can so relate. I mean, really. I can TOTALLY relate. I have impossible standards for myself and my house too. Now that it's on the market, I have to have it ready to be shown at the drop of a hat...and I do a fair amount of shoving and stuffing too. Ha!

Ehh--but life is short. Now I must say that our house is head and shoulders above what it used to be, and there are legit reasons why: 1. Our four little kids grew up. 2. New house has AMPLE storage. 3. Hubby is home from work and bored, so he cleans. 4. Our four little kids grew up. There was never time to worry about the condition of my home when all of you kids were home--life had much more to offer than a clean counter. I do not regret for one minute any of our hurried scurrying about when an unexpected guest dropped by. We just made room on the couch for them, stopped what we were doing, and shared our day. Just like Mary did when Jesus came. Well we both know that my tombstone will not read WHAT A HOUSEKEEPER!

Funny thing is, post after post someone else says, Me TOO! Hee hee. I love it. My bedroom might take the cake though. In every house we have lived in, we have never fully unpacked our room or decorated or anything. I get all the other rooms nice. Each room has a theme to the decor, places where things go, and such but when it comes to our room, Im just at a loss! Should we do purple? Green? Blue? What style should we decorate it? Our dressers clash and my bed spread...lets say its unique. My husbands sister made us and extra extra big "quilt" with panels of a print of angels and words next to them to Amazing Grace. Its awful ugly but we never fight over the blankets! Before when company would come I would pick up the room and vac. because someone might need the potty or, I wouldn't clean and just shut the door. There have been many times I have said, " Close your eyes when you go in there!!" But now, we have three pottys and I dont have to worry about my room!! ;) So I am scrolling through the comments so I can comment on the bottom that I too, have an awful bedroom.
