On Friday night, she was complaining about the fact that her husband has such a hard time picking up after himself. I quickly came to his defense. I explained that during this process of trying to sell our house, I've tried SOOO hard to keep the house straight. I've tried to put my clothes in the hamper after I undress at night. I've tried to carry my dishes to the kitchen after we eat. I've tried to stay on top of the laundry. I've tried to change the cat litter every day. But during this attempt to be something I'm so obviously not, I became uncharacteristically frustrated.
Don't get me wrong- I recognize the importance of keeping a nice house. I want people to feel at home in our house. I obviously don't want bug problems in my house. I obviously don't want my house to smell bad. BUT, if the dishes stay in the sink a couple of days or I have a few days worth of dirty clothes laying next to my bed, I'm not going to have a coronary.
All that to say, I saw this on Emily's blog this morning and it started my day off with a smile.
Sorry, Mom!

Are you saying I'm wasting my life away? Hmm...
I SOOOOO agree with you, Liz. Just wait until you have a baby, even if i want to clean there is NO time!
Too funny! I like that! I second the motion.
This is a CLASSIC Elizabeth post ;) Loved it.
AMEN sister!!! A clean house isn't a wasted life but it doesn't make you who you are either. :) Did that make sense? :) Live life to the fullest!! It seems like you do! :)
Ha ha, I loved this post. I too don't mind dishes in the sink for a couple of days. They are completed rinsed off and ready for the dishwasher. I actually thought last night how for just a family of 3 I always have a waiting list for the dishwasher. I also have pairs of shoes lying everywhere. But when I get to that point when I am sick of seeing something, I am anal about the cleaning. Have a great weekend!!!!
I mostly agree, Liz, but no, the zippers never go on top!
