I have just about had it. I gave up a long time ago trying to keep my house neat, because I basically live with a bunch of slobs. Everything just drops wherever and then just stays there unless I repeatedly ask for it to be put away. And then there's the member of the family who has to be asked time and time again to put their things away. And what happens? It gets moved from one spot it doesn't belong to another spot it doesn't belong. For those of you who have never been to my house or it's been forever since you have been invited, I apologize, but I refuse to have company when my house is a mess. And, yes, I realize there is a difference between clean and neat. And, no, I don't regularly clean my house. Why, you ask? It's tough to clean around the mess....so why bother? Just don't invite anyone to your house...that takes care of the situation.
So then there's those times that I do try to straighten up and clean and dust...and then I get nothing but grief, "There must be company coming, Mom's cleaning..." I just can't win around here. And as I am grumbling under my breath trying to clean around crap all over the place, I am getting angrier and angrier, so by the time I am done, I am just furious and more than likely in tears. (As is the current case....)

don't sweat it michele. i know the mess bothers you but i assure you most people that see it don't really notice, b/c their house looks the same way! and if they do care, heck with them! it IS however very frustrating to constantly clean up other's messes. i always hear the usual, "when i clean it, it is not up to your standards, so i just don't do it!" argh.
