MY PHILOSOPHY OF HOUSECLEANING!
I don't do windows because ...
I love birds and don't want one to run into a clean window and get hurt.
I don't wax floors because ...
I am terrified a guest will slip and get hurt then I'll feel terrible ( plus they may sue me.)
I don't mind the dust bunnies because ...
They are very good company, I have named most of them, and they agree with everything I say.
I don't disturb cobwebs because ...
I want every creature to have a home of their own.
I don't Spring Clean because ...
I love all the seasons and don't want the others to get jealous
I don't pull weeds in the garden because ...
I don't want to get in God's way, HE is an excellent designer!
I don't put things away because ...
My husband will never be able to find them again.
I don't do gourmet meals ...
when I entertain because I don't want my guests to stress out over what to make when they invite me over for dinner.
I don't iron because ...
I choose to believe them when they say "Permanent Press".
I don't stress much on anything because ...
"A Type" personalities die young and I want to stick around and become a wrinkled up crusty ol' woman!!!!
And don't forget that it's still giveaway weekend. Go to Friday's post and enter - a name will be drawn tonight. Then check back tomorrow to see if you won.

ROFLMAO Those are wonderful and of course I agree with them all!
I can't figure out if they're making fun of the fact that a person could name their dust bunnies or not ... floppy, moppy ...
Hey everyone! Charlie's home - Siobhan, of course, is hysterical with glee. Now we have to keep continued thoughts for Brandy's Squeakie.
I don't iron because ...

This is me, totally. I DO NOT iron, that's man's work.
ROFL! Those are great!!!
If it needs to be ironed, I try not to buy it. But I try to get rid of cobwebs because I don't want spiders.
What I like most about dust bunnies is you don’t have to feed them! :)
I hope Squeakie finds his way home soon.
Gee, I resemble more than few of these, but I'm not saying which. LOL
I saw the big news on Brandy's site about Charlie. One back, one to go...still hoping for Squeakie.
Rene! How do you get a MAN to iron?
The only iron I know men flock to use is a GOLF IRON ...
Oh great news about Charlie. Still crossing my fingers for Squeakie. The one good hope about lost cats is knowing they can fend for themselves and they're not shy about letting someone else feed them. Hope that's some consolation.
I hate housecleaning and I always hate being called a housewife. Don't get me started roflmao
Love the list!!!
Great ones and they suit me to a T. And not to forget "This house is protected by giant dust bunnies" (although my fridge magnet says says dustballs).
As for naming dust bunnies, have you read any of Jayne Castle's books lately? She has some delightful dust bunnies in her books, the latest being "Ghost Hunter". "After Dark" and "After Glow" are the first set on Harmony, though there's a story "Bridal Jitters" in "Charmed". Fuzz is the dust bunny in (I think) both "After" books.
I had a peek at the end of GH and the two other dust bunnies are Rose and Ginger.
Oh, yeah. I do beg to differ on the spiderwebs. They're entitled to their homes but there's a lot of other space around. They don't have to build in mine.
Siobhan, you must be ecstatic and also, like any mother, a little miffed at Charlie for putting you through all that agony.
But I'm glad he's home. And that there's hope for Squeakie.
I think I'll have to break down and iron a few things. They've been in suitcases for so long that I just can't wear them to a shower, for example. A big one's coming up for my soon-to-be niece two weeks from today. Have to drive about 100 miles to get there so I can't arrive there looking as if I'd just stepped out of a suitcase. And I'm wearing the dress I bought in the Yucatan. After all, that's where they're getting married. Just preparing them. (grin)
Yes, I'm over the moon. Thoughts and prayers with Brandy that Squeakie will follow suit. You never know what's around the corner in this funny old life. Love this philosophy of housecleaning especially as I haven't been able to do anything except boss my DH and DS around the past few weeks. I'll be visiting my mum in Italy so should continue to have a good rest. And she's online so I'll keep posting.
lmao I love these!! must copy and paste. I agree with the weed one, though unfortunately my dad likes to mistake my flowers for weeds *sigh*
And a big YAY on Charlie coming home!
Cobwebs are natures ant fighting machines. I do not disturb the webs of those little itsy bitsy housespiders - let them do their job. And I leave the dead ant carcasses there as a warning to any other ant that comes in the house. (I'm allergic to bug sprays). But I do clean them up when company is coming.
LOVE THESE! I like the Dust bunny one.
Haha..good post! I agree with most of those.
At last, some excellent excuses I can use!!
Lol, that was great! I need to remember them the next time I need an excuse for avoiding housework.
These are keepers! Now, if you can shed any light as to how that GIGANTIC grasshopper got into my kitchen and died staring at my oven...
LOL--too true!!
Oh, Bailey I didn't know that but it could be quite true of the cobwebs that are close to the ground. The problem is that I've got two where I always need to reach: 1. to open my bedroom window 2. to change my ISPs in order to send out e-mail on my most-used account. As you say, you never quite know what you'll find on your hands, e.g., parts of ant bodies. I'm definitely very reluctant to use any kind of spray inside the house too, especially since I have no real means of ventilation.
Actually, laundry and ironing are two things I don't mind doing. The problem is that I have my mother's huge old ironing board and it's awkward and very wide and generally takes up a lot of space. I gave mine to a young Polish guy whom my mother befriended.
And if you've left stuff in a suitcase for 8 or 9 years, the creases don't look all that great, especially if you're trying not to embarrass your whole family.
