Sometimes housework can get to be a drag, especially if you work and have a bunch of kids. Unfortunately, in this economy, most women are in that position. When we moved into a new (to us) house, I got a little carried away with neatness. My mother had a way of bringing me down to earth, however. She came to visit and brought the kids some ice cream bars, looked around the room and said, "Well, you'll probably have to eat these in the bathtub!" After that I eased up a bit and wasn't quite so fussy. If my grandmother didn't have time to do her usual housework, she'd say, " I'm just giving the house a lick and a promise today." So if you're too busy to clean or don't have the energy, take a hint from Grandma Jennie.
