My Philosophy of Housekeeping
• 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!!!!

I’ve been living by this philosophy for years. It’s a way of life.

i agree with it all, except for the weeds. the weeds are mere bird droppings -not from god- and they mess up the carefull canvas i have created in my garden.
