To clean or not to clean?
 

I feel like I should be cleaning my house up, but it doesn't make sense to do a hard cleaning. They're not finished and it will all get dirty again. I'm keeping up with the major dust and I think that's about all I can do.

It creates a lot of anxiety in me to have a messy, dirty house. I like it clean and neat at all times.

I am not a happy camper right now. I know I should be so glad that I'll have a really nice house, and I am. But...I don't have that now. What I have is a giant dirty mess.

Okay - I feel a little better now. I needed to vent a bit.

If it really bothers you and you don't mind cleaning - or if cleaning makes you feel better - then go ahead and clean clean clean. Of course, it will get dirty again, but is your mental health more important than looking at a dirty house???

Me - I would never clean (other than keeping the dust at bay) - but it would not bother me in the least. But if it did, I'd go ahead and clean to my hearts content - because that would make me feel better and in this case, how YOU feel, is all that matters! :)

Therein lies the problem! I hate to actually clean. I just love to have a clean, neat house. I can't see paying my cleaning woman to come in in the middle of the work, and I really really can't see cleaning myself.

If I drank, I'd say it is margarita time.

I know what you mean Judy. I like things nice and neat and clean too. I cleaned a bit today and I probably shouldn't have. I don't have a cleaning woman or any one else around here who cares what it looks like. Yes I'm venting too....LOL. I'll probably pay with back pain for running the darn sweeper. I would go ahead and clean, but that's just me...I can't stand to let it go.

I hope your back is okay now Janet. Take a couple of aspirin before you go to sleep.

Gayle,

I took your advice after all. I got out the Windex, my paper towels and cleaned all the things that were really bothering me. I also straightened up as much as possible.

Good advice! Thank you - I do feel much better.

You are welcome! I don't mind a messy house, a dirty one yes, messy no. I think I'd have to dust a little myself and I HATE to clean!!! Glad you feel better, sorry you'll have to do it again, but think about how much of your sanity that you've saved! :D

I hear you Judy, I have to catch up on some cleaning this week myself. But there is really nothing you can do until they finish up the work. Enjoy that drink! :)

Seems like all we do is clean, and it's never finished. Hubby goes in a lot of people's homes and he says for a working couple, ours looks great, but I don't feel like it does. Judy, if I had the time, I'd do just what you did to make yourself feel better. If I lived alone, I believe my home would be cleaner. But I'm not ready to get rid of hubby, so guess I'll keep cleaning up after him. Less than 2 months before our 35th aniv.

Judy,

I'm like you don't like a dirty house. But you have a very good excuse as to why
it's that way. But I'd be doing the same thing if I were you. Like the others said
if it makes you feel better then do it. It will all be over soon.

I'll sign your permission not to clean! Go do something fun!!

I would try real hard not to worry about cleaning until it is done.
Yes, do something fun. Check more of those guys online.:D
