Nothing makes me happier when I clean than cranking up my Dreams Come True CD by Marcia Ball, Angela Strehli, and Lou Ann Barton. Just as with Carole King, I don’t have to agree with the lyrics to thoroughly enjoy the music.

Classic Rock and some country get’s me through the cleaning day. I have to start some sort of rotation chart so the kids can do more , they do next to nothing but not out of laziness.. it’s me, i get the “if they do it i’ll have to follow them and do it again anyway” syndrome. I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful husband who doesn’t shy away from house work and is always willing to lend a hand. I wish i could get a cleaning lady (i asked for one from Santa, alas i didn’t get one this year) my hubby is far to private to have someone in our house… I’m not private at all lol.. open book etc… And i wouldn’t have them doing indepth bedroom cleaning .. just an hour every morning, making beds, washing dishes, a little tidy up so it doesn’t accumilate leaving satruday free from the 5-6 hour cleaning frenzy … Keith Anderson gets my kitchen sparkly….

Love Dar, but cleaning to a little Calypso or Rockabilly is the best!

I have recently hired a “cleaning lady” after having rotater cuff surgery and not being about to do the basics, like dusting, vacuming, and cleaning bathrooms. I love coming home to a clean house, that smells of bleach and freshness every other week!! Wish I had the time…and the shoulder/deltoid muscle left to do so myself…..

Forget church and the messy house. Go for a long run and then pamper yourself. Life is too short.

I’m with Donna – classic rock always gets the cleaning done quickly . . . we have a glass wall at one end of the living room and within the span of ‘Good Lovin’ that wall gets sparkly clean. Number 4 on your mystery list drives me absolutely nuts! I swear these people I live with don’t sweat water, they sweat paper pieces . ..

LIke Heidi, I don’t get the place to myself often. Husband works at home and I’m an editor too in an office away from here. When I do have the place to myself and I’m in a cleaning mood, some good Irish ceili helps, but rock is good too. What is it about cleaning that’s just good therapy sometimes?!

I’m not good at the housecleaning business. Luckily as a Mom my main job is to demonstrate and teach responsibility. I have plenty of children and a husband. They all have morning and after dinner chores and nights they cook dinner. I won’t even touch the 10 year olds laundry. Saturday morning everyone cleans or does the yard, usually with a teenage DJ setting the tone. Sunday religiously we all go to church. I am afraid if I get a maid or gardner there wont be enough work for my children.
