I‘d love to do the same, but I‘ll be cleaning house and packing the kids up for an overnight stay with my SIL for some long overdue kid free time with my hubs. (Tomorrow is his b-day.)

Ok I‘ve got everything photographed and read to post 👍🏼 I‘ll be the first to admit that some of these are weird and I‘m not sure why I ever bought them or how I acquired them. Be prepared for an onslaught of posts from me. I do apologize in advance. Here is to sharing the Litsy love ❤️

suzie.reads John Sandford is my fav author! 6y
OrangeMooseReads @suzie.reads if you want that book it‘s yours. 6y

Mood ☝ Not getting much reading done as for some reason I have become deeply unsatisfied with the state of the house and have gone into clean and sort overdrive. So much stuff I've hoarded for years now in the bin or gone to charity. Annoyed at myself though as I broke my big picture frame knocking it off the wall while rearranging the living room this morning...hoping I'll get out of this soon, or at least get the house how I want it. 😧

Cathythoughts You are on a mission !! I. I‘m sorry you broke your frame ... oh dear ! I think a good clear out is good for the spirit 👍🏻💫💫💫 6y
Tamra Tossing is quite satisfying! 6y
laurieluna @Cathythoughts that's what I'm hoping. Even been looking online at new sofas this morning but that would be a silly idea since the kids are still little 🙈 @Tamra I've kept so much over the years that has sat in draws never to see the light of day and I'm tired of it. 😥 6y

Cathythoughts Laurie , @Tamra I am ruthless these days. I used to keep everything “ just in case “ ... but I‘ve done a complete U turn in the last ten years ... it‘s all about losing the clutter now. Clearing the decks. I‘d look at those sofas , the boys will be young for awhile yet anyway , you can always put a throw on them during the day ... 👍🏻 6y
JacqMac It‘s so satisfying to sit with a book in a lovely clean house when you‘re all finished. What a reward that will be! 6y
laurieluna @Cathythoughts we're adjusting our current corner monstrosity into a 3 seater instead. I'm so glad my partner is an engineer 😂 the stuff we have found in it taking it apart makes me definitely wary about getting a nice new one 😷 @JacqMac it's more that fact that with 2 littles, when one job is finished they've created another!! 🙈 6y
Ddzmini YES!!! 😠 6y
laurieluna @Ddzmini I know right?? Although round here it'll be more like that scene from Enchanted than Snow White. 6y
Ddzmini 🤣🤣🤣 6y

Anyone married to a person with OCD? And no matter what, you don‘t stack up to his standards? Grr! Not book related except that I will be in the bedroom reading while he does whatever.

LoverofLit I'm the OCD person who regularly annoys her partner. I apologize on behalf of your husband and all of us OCD spouses who are too hard on our significant others and ourselves! 💕 7y
Samplergal @LoverofLit thank you! Because it‘s not coming from my partner! 😂💔 7y
LoverofLit You just stick your tongue out at him and go enjoy your book! If he's anything like my husband while cleaning, he's a major rampagey monster 😅 7y
DrSabrinaMoldenReads I can so relate to this. 7y

Cleaning Plain and Simple is a more current version of Heloise - full of things that any adult needs to know regarding housekeeping. On my wishlist, it would be a wonderful gift to anyone young person moving out on their own, especially to a house, for the first time. Heck, I've had a house for 14 years and I need this book, who am I kidding?!?
