I hate to clean house. obviously. I never did get my okra planted this year. I'm getting ready to pull the poor tomatoes out. they are still blooming like mad but too hot to set fruit. and the green beans need to come out too. they're just making tiny tough beans.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-53605273094863073392016-08-06T09:04:54.041-04:002016-08-06T09:04:54.041-04:00Omg I feel the same way about my house!

Wooden slat blinds? Are they any better? And that housecleaning thing. It NEVER ends. And you can never get to everything. Clean bathrooms. Cleanish kitchen, tidy living room. Don't look in any of the cupboards or closets! Things might cascade out! Oh I could go on an on. There's so much to attend to. So please send your superhero cleaning crew over here when you're done. I'm in sore need. On another note, think how clean and shiny that new house is going to be!<br />37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-51932238697627000342016-08-06T07:12:23.803-04:002016-08-06T07:12:23.803-04:00Please send cleaning crew here next.

We ha...That is the reason why I loathe mini blinds. We have two sets in the house and if my husband wasn't here they would be gone. There is no way to thoroughly clean them. And cats fuck them up going in and out. <br />I actually would love going to people's house to clean for them. I wouldn't want to get paid but they would have to let me be and not micromanage. I go into a lot of homes, so many, and I love leaving things better than I found it. That's how I was raised. Leave everything better than you found it. It can just be a counter top or wiping a shelf in a fridge or taking out the garbage. If I am ever in Florida I will clean something for you. ;-)<br />Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.com
