  • Hey, good point. I'm with you, JC: pet hair and toys littered everywhere get me really exasperated sometimes, but I try to let it go and be glad for my happy people-animal family!

  • Hi, Haley. I've been having similar feelings lately. My husband and son collect things; we have an extremely hairy dog; I've got too much work and stuff to do to be constantly cleaning. Sometimes I fantasize about having a clean house, but that would mean no big hairy dog and my son probably out and living on his own. The house might be very clean but empty. I think I prefer the slight chaos.
