I am pretty sure I was born under this "sign"....

[canesisters]

Just curious... did everyone else mentaly add the word 'sure' when they read the title of this thread?

Amen to that! Life is too short and nothing ever stays clean long anyway.

Especially when you have a few 13 yr olds running around the house.

canesisters, I did!

(Heidi is but I'm not pretty.)

My technique at this time of the year is to stay out of the house as much as possible.

But, here I am at the south window.

Still, 4 steps take me out the backdoor. Then, the pickup is just out the gate. 95% of my travel is to a distant garden.

I'm not a "real" hoarder.... Just when it comes to yarn because I make so much stuff, I have all different kinds I'm terrified of becoming a hoarder!!!!

When my mom passed away, I inherited all her yarn. There were huge boxes, and bags full of all kinds of yarn, and granny squares galore! When ever she had a small amount of yarn left from a project she would use it to make granny squares. I literally didn't have to buy yarn for YEARS!! Her favorite place to go yarn shopping was the Biggest Yarn Mart I have ever seen in Downtown Los Angeles. I don't know if it is still there. But, it was HUGE. I still have a bit of that yard, and many many granny squares. I think hoarding is ok, as long as it is "organized" and labled and the house is clean.

I clean the house in the evenings when it isn't so hot. the yarn is in totes and out of the way for the most part. I just wish I had room for the regular stuff in the house... I don't know how I crammed 4girls, me and MontyJ into this house...lol My next house WILL have a craft room in it.

I've always just wanted a 2 car garage with a house attached. A basement too would have been nice. As it was, I lived in a 14x65' mobile for 10 yrs, with 3 kids. THAT...was painful.

Hobbies? Couldn't afford them anyways.

Moxies, my "kids" are grown....all but one. She just turned 13 about 2 weeks ago. It is painful to live in a trailor with kids. I scratch my head now and wonder how we managed. I used to be a "neat freak" everything had it's place and it BETTER be there... Now not so much. I have figured, my kids are grown they are still alive and the little messes in the house didnt matter to them.
