I think I keep a pretty clean house.

[pugz]

NESTING

[bonnie]

Seriously! Part of me wants to hire a cleaning service once or twice a year to do a super deep clean of the entire house. I feel like that way I'd never get caught off guard by things like the blinds or base boards getting nasty.

[birdistheword]

I am the worst house-keeper ever. I just pretend the tops of my ceiling fans and cabinets do not exist. I really need to hire someone to deep clean once a month.

[sewf]

You know, you live pretty close to me. When you finish your house...

Kidding. I nested right before DS came too. I realized I was scrubbing my kitchen floor on my hands and knees on the due date.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

My blinds are so bad right now. I hate cleaning them. I'm tempted to buy new blinds and call it good.

[cjeanette]

Mine are gross. Esp the ones that were up when we moved in last year.

[sjh722]

I am terrible at deep cleaning. When my mom visits she is alway sighing at me and saying things like, "When is the last time you moved your fridge to clean under it?!?" and "Have you vacuumed the couches recently?" and "You know, if you would just put aluminum foil down on your stovetop over the burners, you wouldn't have to scrub the black cook top NEARLY as often." (Side note: My grandma did that. I know no one else under the age of 75 who does that.)

I need someone to come deep clean my house.

Lol maybe. But I did just quit at the blinds on the second floor - I'm going to do the first floor tomorrow. So it could be worse?

Lol.  When I was about 38 weeks my H came home from a boys night to me cleaning all of the living room windows and every trinket on every shelf in the living room.  He was like what'cha doing and I was all OMG THIS PLACE IS A STY!!!!!111!!  I CAN'T BRING A BABY HOME TO DUSTY SHELVES!!!111!!!!!  

[gretchenindisguise]

I cleaned underneath the cabinet where our coffee pot sits tonight.

I feel you.

[sergey]

Ugh me too. I had no idea how much a weekly housekeeper kept my place not disgusting for years until these last few without one. Stupid sahwing.

[angelaa73]

Squee!!!! This sounds like imminent labor!

[isabel]

Yeah. We have a cleaning lady twice a month, but sometimes I notice things like that the insides of the kitchen cabinets are grimy and the silverware organizer has stuff in it. I may pay her double her rate one of these days to deep clean some of those things.

[joshlyman]

This is how I feel on the rare occasion I think to dust the tops of the fans. Oops.

[VillainV]

This is why I don't clean my blinds.

We went back and forth about a cleaning lady, but on a good day during the week I'm gone for 12 hours between work and commute. I just can't motivate myself to spend part of the two or three hours I'm home and awake on weekdays cleaning. So our twice-monthly cleaning lady starts today. I already know I'm going to ask her to deep clean at least twice a year...

I was just looking at our blinds last night and noticed how disgusting they are. I'm tempted to just throw them out but it's not in the budget to replace them all right now.

It's a shame you won't get to them, since you'll be having a baby!!! #nesting

[lostlenore]

My new house has the blinds inside the windows! One less thing for me to feel guilty about!

[sporky]

Blinds are the worst. See also: my baseboards and bookshelves.

[eddy]

When I was nesting I insisted RIGHT THIS MINUTE that we had to have our car detailed inside and out. LOL WTF, I have never cared about how our car looks outside of making sure it is vacuumed.

[amberlyrose]

Tell your H to take them off, spray them in the sink and let dry, then have him re-hang them. Don't you go getting on a step stool!

[sassycat]

Sounds like a good ole case of nesting to me!

My daughter who is a bit of a messy housekeeper deep cleaned her house a few weeks before baby was born ( well she thought weeks) I told her she is probably nesting since this is really out of the ordinary for her, and yep 1 day later my grandbaby came into this world. She was a couple of weeks early!

So early congrats to you! Hope you have an easy peasy labour.

[toepick]

I had to take the day off of work to clean my house in preparation for my mom's visit. She arrives later this afternoon.

[adhdfashion]

My sister and I where talking about this yesterday. We are thinking about hiring someone to come in quarterly to wash windows, baseboards, walls, and under the appliances.
The shit that just gets overlooked.
