how clean is your house?.

i just love this show.. kim and aggie run into some pretty disturbing homes i must admit.

i am certainly not on the list of the most disgusting homes but, dont have the most organized house on the street..... i like cleanliness in all parts of my home( cat litter empted, dishes cleaned, bathroom area very sanitary, floors cleaned, carpets vacuumed, garbage emptied if full, candles burning, the furniture and carpet deodorized daily, the dog has to be bathed regular, ash trays dumped and cleaned every time i finish smoking in the back room, and finally, the supper dishes must be done before i go to bed... i could not give two sh*ts if the bed did not get made properly, the kids room has dirty laundry on it or all their junk, they dont have their beds made every day, the computer desk has bills/papers lying on it, the cats/dogs food runs out of dish, there is a cob web up in the corner of the living room, ( thats a great decoration for this time of the year anyways...lol) the wires are showing from the t.v and dvd player, there are a few pairs of shoes at the door at not put away on the shoe rack, there is a coat on the back of a chair instead of hung up, and the pillows and blankets are scattered all over the couch for comfort (at night only, not during the day unless it is the weekend).

He claimed that when visiting peoples homes he would wedge some toilet paper up underneath the rim and see how dirty it would come out!
How disgusting. I wonder if he'll ever know how weird that is. Makes me think of those weirdos that are obsessed with feces. Damned Pharisee!

X2 FHN...That's just sick....He is the type, that goes through your bathroom cabinets as well I bet!

Ya know the ones that you wished you had a 10000marbles in the cabinet and he opens it while they drop all over the floor and then he has to explain why he was snooping in your draws!!

My mother always kept a spotless house. She says now she wishes she had spent more time with us as kids than spending it on the house and cleaning. We'd be shooed out the door every morning after breakfast, couldn't come back until lunch, then the same after until supper time. We were not allowed to spend time indoors unless there was a bilzzard! She didn't want the house to get messy. If there was any dirt on your clothes, they came off at the door before you could come in the house. (We were allowed to get as dirty as we wanted outside, but just don't bring it in the house, which is understandable.)

I can relate to some of this post. Yes, my mother was a clean freak but, we all had to clean with her before we went anywhere. I hated it with a passion. We were never allowed anyone in the house to play with or have anyone in unless they were a JW and the house was spotless . My mom had to have plenty of warning when we wanted to invite anyone over. I would say primarily, I went to other’s homes to play cause it was not worth the aggravation of having someone come over.

You know though, it appears to me, it may have been a JW thing about cleaning because even when I went to other’s homes to play, everyone was cleaning at their homes as well.

Now, I must tell you though, that my mom did have 5 children and my dad was not home very much. Till this day she is always justifying this to me when I ask her "why" we were never allowed anyone to play in the house.

25 years later, I am a mom and my children are allowed to have their friends over when ever they please. I believe my house is where all the kids "hang out". I would not change this for anything as I dreamed as a kid to be "that child" with everyone in their home and my mom baking cookies for all my friends.

My home has a revolving front door, but my children are happy, my house is presentable and you may find a cobweb in the corner of the living room!!

I don't have a spotless house. It doesn't help if your husband is a pack rat and thinks that there's value in every odd thing he finds. My oldest daughter and grandson moved back home, and it's been even messier. She loves clothes, but she doesn't care where she throws them. My grandson has gadzillions of toy cars and trucks. He has trucks and cars everywhere. My husband manages to run over them with his wheelchair (accidentally) some times, which helps to get rid of a few of them. My grandson says he going to be a heavy equipment operator, firemen, paramedic, bus driver, telephone repairman type person when he grows up.
I've, actually, thrown some of the trucks and cars away just for my daughter to bring home more! *sigh*
I just told the kids and my husband last night that the first time that I see any roaches or rats, I'm moving out! That's why I put the picture of the bad(bag, Oops) lady up. If I don't go back to work, I'm going to end up being a bag lady.

Dear McDucket,

I sense you have some frustrations in your post. You do the best you can ( which sounds like you have been) and I know your grandson will learn from your love kindness and patients. He will become that profession he wants to be, with you on his side.

It sounds to me you have lot’s on your plate so, put you feet up on the coffee table today and make it about you today. Who cares what the house may look like today cause your worth it!

love Morty

missing the bullets

past history,.

an incident at my first congregation (stalag 17).

an elder from the platform, obviously trying to encourage the masses, spoke about the brothers in beirut, dodging the bullets to get to the group meeting and how we should be zealous, like these ones, in going to the meetings.. a few weeks later we had a very bad bout of snow, .

morty

This elder had to keep to his word and went. He fell down the stairs outside the hall and broke his arm. !!!

But, did he make it to the king-dum hall still??

My husband is definitely not a neat freak by any means, but I don't mind picking up the slack for him

Mine is not a neat freak at all as well and I don't like picking up after him...He has two arms and legs and I am not his slave.......I feel my boys learn by example...I want my boys to know that their wifes are not going to pick up after them all the time once they leave the nest....I understand once in while and helping out but, not expecting it all the time....( my "X" was like that and I swore it would not happen again....)

I grew up in a really clean house, so thats probably where I get it from.

I also grew up in a perfect house but, I think I weighed the other way....I mean, I like it clean but, lived in....not so clean that you feel you are in a museum and you cannot touch anything...
