ADD Cleaning

This Saturday will be cleaning Saturday. I know I've been commenting that I need to be cleaning for several weeks now. I also know that I actually have done some cleaning last weekend. Here's why cleaning takes me so long, in a nutshell... I have ADD when it comes to cleaning. I will start on one thing when it comes to cleaning... then maybe clean for 30 min and then take a break... of about 15 min although that sometimes bleeds into 20. Or I will start to clean one thing, then midway through think, oh I really should do this before I finish that... except that this will totally negate all the work on that. For example, I pile my mail and other crap on the fold out piece of my sewing table. I cleaned most of it off the other day... except a few cook books and like 2 other things that I needed to put away. So then I went to clean some other thing, and all of a sudden there's all sorts of crap piled back on the fold out piece. Sigh. My sister will come and my apartment will look like a tornado has it it and she will accept it, because well she grew up with my parents too and inherited the packrat clutter gene.

If you really want some help, I can put on my Monica disguise and help you get that place absolutely spotless. We might not be friends when it is over, but you will have a clean apartment.

You're right we wouldn't be friends anymore and since I need friends more than I need a clean partment, I'll have to say no. :)

I cleaned the whole house last Sunday and Monday, along with weeding, mowing, and cleaning gutters.

Like I needed a reason to put fresh flowers in every room ;)
