And, my tile floors have yet to be scrubbed since my little guy entered the world....almost 15 months ago. But, I've come to accept it because I'd rather be playing or making something or reading...The only time I'm bothered is if the mess gets in the way of the two of us having fun. That being said I have cleaned up quite a bit lately, and like you, I'm currently enjoying my tidy home...while it lasts! :)Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269938426943887438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130077443915880463.post-31576646305170086132009-02-05T08:35:00.000+10:002009-02-05T08:35:00.000+10:00Yes, I like it when my home is clean and tidy as w...Yes, I like it when my home is clean and tidy as well. I have made it a lot easier by doing a lot of decluttering, which gives the visual appearance of tidiness, and like Miss Muggins said when your house is clean you feel free to pursue your own interests guilt-free.<BR/>take car<BR/>PipPiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024358673602132526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130077443915880463.post-48932231643043531792009-02-04T19:36:00.000+10:002009-02-04T19:36:00.000+10:00Wow, yes i am a clean freak, I do say to myself it...Wow, yes i am a clean freak, I do say to myself it does not matter, but my little unit functions better when there is order in the home (or maybe I function better with my little unit). I once cared that I was seeming neurotic and now i don't care.

Yes there ar...I think you hit the nail on the head! Yes there are all sorts of external pressures on us to keep a clean, tidy home, the main reason comes from how it does feel when the house is clean. I know for myself I then feel free to pursure my own interests, but I also feel satisfied. Likewise I feel unmotivated and blah when the house is a mess. Perhaps it is all linked to self-control or lack there of! It sure is an interesting one. I am of course not referring to obsessive cleaning at the expensive of a life-that is another form of control! A happy balance is what we need to achieve, the emphasis on us being happy!
