Cleaning the House

I try to find ways to shorten the time I spend cleaning. Today I feel like just scooping things up and tossing them in the dump... A fresh start seems so lovely when I am overwhelmed. Like most moms I know after cleaning something it isn't long before it is messy or dirty again. So, speaking of that, I have been wondering if clutter is worst than dirt or visa versa? I tend to see dirty and clutter only bothers me sometimes. My husband is the opposite. He can tidy a room and comfortable. I can leave the toys and unfolded laundry basket sit and dust the whole room which makes me feel better. He always teases me that the dishes might be sitting from breakfast in the sink, but the oven is shiney and clean! LOL I guess that is why we get along so much, between our own preferences the house is better for it. I must add that this has been a long standing trouble area in our marriage...priorites are definately a stress factor when they are so different. Thank God for "better or worst!"
