I adore Maxine! Love the look on her little dog's face.
My mother was a fiend on keeping a clean house. A maniac that required scrubbing the kitchen floor with Brillo pads before rewaxing. My sis and I did this on a monthly basis, if not more often.
We were required to clean the house and do a list of "chores" before going out to play. It all had to pass inspection.
While I hated it at the time, it gave me an appreciation for a clean home, which is at the top of my priorities.
I try not to go crazy about it, but every time I let something slip, I feel my mother watching 
However, I like Maxine's method of getting things done!
