I am on a Spring Cleaning kick right now. I think I might be taking it just a tad too far, because my 18-month old pushed a chair up to the sink to help with the dishes today. I had no idea that I made washing dishes by hand look like fun.
Normally, I love to be organized, but I am not much of a housekeeper. I don't have a good schedule for scrubbing toilets and mopping floors. A little mess doesn't bug me. (I don't like icky smells though, so I do have my limits for how out of hand I will let a messy house go.)
I like to have a place for everything, and I like to find it in its place when I need it. I would like the kids to do a better job of putting their things back in their place, but that is still a work in progress at this point.
In my gene pool, some of the women keep a very clean house as a result of feeling that the rest of their life is out-of-control. I suppose it gives them a sense of security to control the clutter & dirt. I can see where this habit arrives. My life feels out-of-control right now, and I am finding it rather therapeutic to clean.
Everything else is up in the air, but the house is starting to look cleaner.

Maybe we wanted to play in the water and soap?
