That being said I still like a clean house. Although I will state a disclaimer that I like a clean house, but I also like a comfortable house. I want to live in my home not have my home own me. I grew up in a household where we were never allowed to eat outside the confines of the kitchen, never allowed to sit on the couches (Couches are for company), and if my mother could have gotten away with it I am sure everyone including the pooches would have worn plastic booties. When I finally got away from her pinesol hell I vowed to not be "like that..." with my home (home being where ever I lay my head down to sleep..)
Yet, I can't help but shake my head at myself as I pack. Things are covered in dust. When did the kitchen cabinets get so grimy? I am not sure the floor behind the toilet is suppose to be that color...gross. I'm gross.....when did that happen?
All my friends that are reading this will say "yes, but you've got two kids...one's a baby...your really busy..." All true, but damn I never realized I had gotten that low on my standards.
So where does that leave me? I am not sure. I don't have time or patience to be up to my standards. I can't live up to my own cleanliness standards how f'd up is that? If I was rich I could make my employees lives impossible getting them to live up to my standards...like Jeff Lewis on the Flipping out TV show. By the way I love that guy...he's crazy, I would never work for him, but he's a completely fun to watch. But alas I have no employees to harass. It also brings the question to mind if I could have a maid or personal chef which would it be? CHEF...I hate cooking more than cleaning. I'll scrub a toilet, don't ask me to make you dinner...
So there it is people....I have had my bubble popped: the realization that I have become a little bit of a cochina.
So audience which would it be for you? Personal Chef or Maid?

Well, I would have both, but if I had to choose.....15 minutes later still need to think......
Well first I need to have a house, then I want a nanny AND a maid. I don't need the nanny all the time, just so I can have a part-time job and my sanity.
oh a nanny...didn't think of that...a smart, nice, not to good looking nanny where we could go out to the movies and such...I'd cook for that.
I hear ya on the working part...I am gratefull to be home with little G, but will be glad when he's old enough for me to return to work.
