Housecleaning

How long does it take me to clean my house?

Well, if I put all the children in the little bedroom at night, and I work only on the living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom and if I clean by my standards, and not my husband, Mr. Clean's, standards, I can have a very tidy house in an hour.

If I do it by my DH's standards, it will take me considerably longer.

I consider this a huge blessing in the small space situation. Because I spend so little time cleaning and picking up, I am free to pursue my other interests. I'm a bit reluctant right now to expand my space, because that expands my responsibility. Even though I plan on teaching my children how to do housework, the idea of cleaning a 2000 square foot home is extremely daunting.

So this afternoon, I'm going to start (the children are all outside) and then after they're in bed, I'll turn on a movie (probably Pride and Prejudice -- I can hear it, if not see it from every room) and clean my house.

It will be an hour well spent.
