Okay, I live with 12 cats. That righ...I live alone. Okay, I live with 12 cats. That right there is an excuse to drive people away from visiting. I'm in a fugue state when it comes to the clutter around me. As long as the litter boxes get cleaned, I'm good. To be honest, I've only met one writer who has an immaculate house. Is it something in us? Is what's going on in our heads more important then our environment? <br /><br />Housework makes me anxious. What I do to overcome this problem is clean for 20 minutes, read a good book for 10. Carrot and donkey. One room a week. Surely I can manage that!

1.No matte...KeVin, you are right on every aspect: <br /><br />1.No matter who is responsible for the mess, when visitors see a dirty house they assume the woman is lazy.<br />2. People don't take writers seriously. Even when we are typing on the computer, they assume its wasting time. I get that quite a lot from my own family. And even if you pop out bestsellers they still think you should get a real job.<br />3. We should never compromise on family time. Just this summer I realized I had been ignoring my kids even though I'm home with them. They spent a lot of time on the WiiU. A few days ago I decided to put down everything, take away the video games and play hide and seek with them. Since then they want me to do it everyday and I've obliged them. They go back to school pretty soon.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this post.<br /><br />Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.com
