That someone lives there who gets more things done, in 24 hours, than the “average Joe”. ;^)

For me, it usually means I’ve taken my ritalin.

Phil, I award you the “Best Reason for a Clean House Award!”

And I agree, PlanningQueen. I tried for a whole week once and I was a wreck. So were the kids. I was miserable and shouting at them all the time, and then I decided it just wasn’t worth it. They are kids. Somethings are just going to be out of place.

A clean house would mean that I invented a time machine and went back to the day when we first moved in, because that’s pretty much the last time the house was clean.

I always find that if my house is spotlessly clean for a length of time then, my children have none of my attention as I am constantly tidying!

My mom (who is NOT a neat freak) tells me that she only really used to clean when her mom would come to visit. Now that she lives alone, she says that she only cleans when *I* come to visit!

Having anybody over means cleaning around here. We live too far in the country for anyone to ever just drop by.

I can’t remember…it’s been so long.

As you mentioned, our house is rarely clean all at once. We sort of work our way through as the week goes by. If I keep up with dishes and laundry we function pretty well, but the rest gets pretty bad sometimes.
