Good [Enough] Housekeeping by the Blonde Mom

We do so much drudge work at home that it’s good to have a bit of fun here and there. From the Blonde Mom Blog is a glossary of terms that I think should be in every homemaker’s dictionary. P.S., the Blonde Mom has a dog.
Hairanoia
Fear that a relative or neighbor will drop by unexpectedly and plop right down on the carpet, which has not been vacuumed for days, and be instantly covered in dog hair.Carpet Fresh
The pristine carpet underneath the couch that you discover when you pull said couch from the wall to vacuum that makes you remember what clean carpet is supposed to look like.Laundry Dunes
Similar to sand dunes, only they consist of large piles of wrinkled, but clean, laundry that has yet to be put away and probably won’t be any time soon.Refrigerator Sludge
The mysterious spillage at the bottom of the fridge. Could be from fruit, could be from a pound of ground beef. Just don’t touch it with your bare hands.
We all need a little bit of light-heartedness everyday. (I know I do, right at this very minute.) Read the Blonde Mom Blog’s post called Good [Enough] Housekeeping, for some reassuring confessions of homemakers like me and you. Remember, smile and know you are not alone. Happy homemaking!

Thanks for the pingback. Yes, you have to look at housework lightheartedly! Pre-kids and pre-dogs my house was much cleaner and neater. Sigh…
Hahaha, yes, pre-kids was an altogether different time for me.
No dogs for us, at least for now. Thanks for stopping by!
