Sorry I have been away. To tell the truth not alot has changed in my life since the last entry. I am still fighting against the current when it comes to keeping house, although on the bright side, I think I am finally getting better at laughing at the domesticity of it all. As a child my mother said that I was the messiest kid she had ever seen.... if she could see me now, doggedly working away at it, desperate to make it shine and gleam. Somehow I think that maybe I was destined for greater things than vacuuming and laundry, that all this cleaning drudgery is killing off the part of me that is ambitious and exciting. Or am I just scared by how fast this life is moving along, disappearing into middle age. OH but it isn't all gloom and murk. I have my great kids, my degree, my art, terrific friends and family and a partner that accepts me for me and loves me wholly despite my eccentricities (which have scared off many a suitor before!) and A really messy house!! So I have come to a resolution! I am going to stop making a clean house my life's work and just make it part of my life. I think my new thought process will mimic a fridge magnet I once read " DULL women have clean houses". Here's to not being dull!!!


My darling girl, never EVER in a million trillion years could you be dull!
