neatness

I keep my home very neat and clean, in special order.

I think mine is somewhere in the middle. Just depends when yo catch me. I do work at it though!

some time when the kids are around you can not be completely good in you arrangment but when they are away to school every part of the house will be neat

I do my best but I run a home daycare so it always looks like a tornado here. I figure either the kids can watch TV and the house will be clean, or they can live life and the house will be messy. My daycare parents totally agree with me. The kids like it better when I don't stress over clutter.

I used to think I had to keep my house immaculate. When my kids were little I'd rush around every morning vacuuming and dusting my house and making sure everything was put away. Now that they've grown up I can see that I should have spent the time with them and worried about the house later.

I try to keep things in some kind of order. Then my husband comes in and throws things here, there and everywhere. So I guess you could say that my house looks lived in.
