Oh, how I remember the house staying clean and tidy for a fast 15 minutes!
I also remember my mother's sad voice when she told me about the first time she woke up in the morning and the house was just as clean as it had been when she went to bed. The kids were all either out on their own or in college...and my Dad was "career Army" tidy.
Well, I'm at that stage now...and believe me...my voice is NOT sad when I talk about it!!!
