Stacy,
Your piece reminded me of the hours I spent cleaning and organizing everything, including our storeroom, in preparation for our first homestudy. I wanted everything to be perfect (but sadly, our social worker wasn’t looking for perfection.) I forced her to look at the perfectly organized storeroom even though she didn’t care to—I wanted credit!! I was so happy when she wrote in the homestudy “Housekeeping standards are excellent.” After the arrival of three children, our housekeeping standards are nonexistent, which is how it should be, I guess. Thanks for an enjoyable read.
Sharon
