Most usually, I enjoy keeping up my house. Sure, I get tired of it at times. But I am house proud. I like things clean and organized.
I love to do the laundry. I really enjoy clean crisp sheets and I like to vacuum and do so often. I can’t stand anything on my carpets. I am not obsessed, but almost. I like clean floors and organized cabinets. And bathrooms must be clean and fresh. And kitchens MUST be clean and organized…I can’t stand dust or grunge on anything…
My closets can get messy at times, and this frustrates me and I do have a chair in my bedroom, where I can let a couple of sweaters pile up… but other than that things must be shipshape or I feel like something is off…
I have had large houses and housekeepers… but even when I did, I would still clean and organize…as my stepdaughter commented. “No one cleans like you do, Ann.”
I guess, I can really get after it when I am in the mood.
I can’t stand being in a dirty house or an unorganized one. It gives me the creeps…and if a house has any kind of ‘odor’ about it I am out of there.. as in musty, old, smells like pets, etc.
It’s great to used vinegar and water to mop floors as that will not only clean but will freshen the air in the house.
I adhere to the belief that if you live in an unorganized environment and one which is dirty that you are probably that way in your head and your life, as in your hair and your body…
Years ago, I was seeing a man who was wining and dining me. He was very successful and was trying to impress me. We went to one of his homes after dinner and I went into the bathroom and it was filthy. I mean FILTHY. I never went out with him again. I couldn’t get that dirty, nasty image out of my head and that is how I think of him to this day.
Also cars… if a person drives around in a messy car that is filthy… in my opinion, it shows who they are, how they think and how they live…
