Writing Prompt: Odd Couple

Does a messy home (or office) make you anxious,and cranky,or is cleaning something you just do before company comes over?

A messy home makes me cranky,if there are more than one person in the house it’s not easy to keep things squeaky clean or clutter free. I do try to make the inhabitants aware of the mess,not all of them care,they hear,but it comes through one ear and goes out the other.

I think these days we seem to have too much of everything and most of the time we can do with half or less of the things that occupies our abode. Instead of keeping us from buying anymore we go ahead with our bad habit of buying. There have been times when I tell myself I’m just going to window shop,I end up buying arms full of things I may not use in the next few years.

So while I get cranky and anxious of the mess and clutter I am guilty of contributing to it also.

I clean up before the arrival of company and feel at ease looking at a neat and tidy house,but It doesn’t stay that way too long.

DP Daily Prompt: She Drives Me Crazy

It makes me crazy when people wear their shoes in my house.What habit/act drives you crazy? How do you prevent it from happening?

This prompt is very interesting. I’m not worried or anxious if people wear shoes in my house as long as they’re not dirty.

One habit I am not fond of is when they come to see me but spend the whole time gossiping about others. I am not capable of preventing it ,I fear they’d call me rude, I stay quiet and let them talk.

I do wonder at the same time,what they say about me.

Once this same person came for a visit, my younger brother came to see me around that time. The first thing she said was, “You know so and so she’s married again isn’t she, that didn’t go over well, my brother was furious.

He replied, “so what if she’s married again,I’m not here to talk about her.”

That sealed her mouth for good.
