Ren,

I know exactly what you mean about the cleaning thing. I am an "A number
one" slob but even I reach a point. Poor dh is very compulsive and I know
he does much better with stress as well if we can at least find the couch.

Problem we have is the world is just such a fun place and there are so many
things we want to do. Just today, we fed and milked all the animals and
took off into town. We bought stuff for our new chickens (while dh was
helping build a chicken roost last night, he lamented not marrying the
"high-maintenance, likes to shop" wife), stopped at the market for echinacea
because Adriane needs to get a grip on her cold before her state gymnastics
meet this weekend and ended up enthralled by all the bulk stuff, went in
search of Day of the Dead things to do, bought pumpkins, came home had lunch
and the big kids are helping the little kids decorate theirs with markers
(the big kids will carve theirs this evening).

So, per usual, cereal bowls are still in the sink, laundry is yet to be
folded and we stick to the kitchen floor <sigh>
