Interesting, goComics has skipped a cartoon which was between yesterday’s and today’s back in 1993, so as to align up the correct date. That missing cartoon had April answer the phone and the caller asks “Where is your mother?” April answers “Inna house.” Caller says “Go find your mother.” April innocently hangs up the phone and finds her mother doing laundry, hugs her mothers leg “Mommy”. Elly smiles, lovingly.
Spring cleaning used to be when folks would deep clean all the soot out of the house from running the woodstove all winter. With cleaner heating systems I think fall cleaning makes more sense, before we’re all shut up in our houses all winter.

You are a true procrastinator when you leave spring cleaning for NEXT spring. Then you do it again. ;-)

Many households have both spring and fall cleaning. This was especially true in the 19th century.

A serious procrastinator is one who does cleaning in order to avoid having to deal with paying bills.

So what do you call it when you leave your spring cleaning until you’re retired?

Sad thing is no one in her household will notice what she did.

Actually, I use cleaning as a way to procrastinate still more daunting tasks.

I can do one better – I left my spring cleaning until the following spring. LOL

I usually leave mine until next spring. And I somehow don’t manage to get it done then, either.
