Meggera's Profile

I grew up out in the country in Montana and I learned more outdoor, physical chores first. Chopping wood, shoveling snow, taking care of the animals, keeping a wood stove going yatta yatta yatta. Let’s just call them not very girly chores for a girl. Our family didn't really have the time to make cleaning a priority between maintaining a home business, all our kids' sports, keeping up with all the outdoor chores and few indoor ones then finally finding family time to be together.

To make a long story short, the transition from country girl to house wife (and workin girl) in the suburbs has been a long road. People only know I'm from the Midwest anymore when I bust out the word "supper" or my slight hint of a combo of Canadian/Minnesotan accent comes out. But you don't know how difficult it has been trying to organize and maintain my own home in a normal 4 season’s state. This list has honestly given me a specific regimen to follow that has made my life so much easier. Nothing else has been specific enough or has been too intimidating. What used to be "well lets hang out and I'll get to that tomorrow" is now "just give me 20 minutes and we can head out!”. I have a husband, a dog and a three bedroom house I take care of and your list works perfectly for me. If you look at all these comments and wonder if it helped anyone, you can sure as hell bet that it helped me! Thank you dearly. I will be passing this along to all my gals back home, I'm sure they will love it as much as I have.
