zzz’s - what is your last homemaking task for the day? Making sure the kitchen is spotless...I cannot wake up to a messy/dirty kitchen. That is utterly depressing!

I am with you on the clean kitchen! I know several people who leave the dishes till morning. What a nasty way to start the day. Spotless is far more cheerful!
Handbook = Day Planner?
Work Chris
Yeah, I got the "you're not from around here are you?" look when I called the garbage disposal a garberator down here. And you vacuum THREE to FOUR times a WEEK??? Do you have a house full of cats and dogs? 'Cause that's the only thing that would make me vacuum that much (and pretty much the reason the only animal we own is a rabbit)! But hey, you go girl.
Vacuum 3 to 4 times a week!! Yikes! I'd rather be doing other things. Your house must look pristine inside, Rachel. I suppose our kitchen gets vacuumed that much here because of little kid's crumbs under the table.
Yes, your house doese does look pristine! I have envy. :) I agree with the kitchen thing too. I don't mind if there are a couple clean dishes drying in the sink but to wake up to a pile is very depressing!
Great. Now everyone thinks I have OCD in the vacuuming department!
To clarify, I only vacuum the main traffic areas that often...stairs, hallways, kitchen. I hate to see dirty floors and it only takes a few minutes. Now that we have a built in vac it's a cinch to quickly do a clean-up. I don't have any pet hair to clean up Melissa but I have two boys that I think can be as much work as pets :)
No, you don't have OCD. You are just a wonderful cleanly woman. Apparently I have typing problems though. :)
I don't bother vacuuming my floors because I know Rachel over vacuums :)
I think you should look at the hardware at 'cozy home', it may be a tad more expensive but it would give your cabinets a unique look.
I bought some for our tv cabinet and it really made it look more updated and fun! If you go with black you can always spray the hinges.
Don't feel bad, Rach. I vacuum at least 3 or 4 times a week too. I just can't stand a nasty carpet.
I agree with you on the clean kitchen thing too. Only I take it one step further and tidy up my livingroom every night too so that I don't have to see a mess first thing in the morning.
