Do you wait for company too?

My kitchen HAS to be clean all the time.
It bugs the crap out of me if it's not.
I do dishes as soon as I dirty them.

My bedroom... now that's another story!

I can have dog fur tumbleweeds the size of a small child under my bed and the floor of my closet is heaped with dirty clothes and it's doesn’t' bother me.

The living room needs dusted twice a week during the winter because we have a wood stove. (Notice I said it needs dusted, I didn't say that it gets dusted twice a week! ) and the carpet in the living room needs vacuumed at least twice a week for the same reason plus because I have 2 massively shedding monsters living in my home.

If I know people are coming over, I can spend an hour and have the house ready for company.

My mother is a clean-freak. In our home, we have a no-fingers on windows/mirrors at any time policy, and the house has to be clean and tidy before the cleaner comes in, to make sure she doesn't think we have a dirty home.
