Blog Prompt: In what way do you indulge yourself?In what way do you wish you could indulge yourself?
The biggest way that I indulge myself is by having a cleaning service come in every other week to clean my house. This allows me to have time to play on the computer and go hiking when I want. I used to feel guilty about a dirty house when I was doing things that I wanted to do until an elderly hiking friend told me that I could clean my house when I get too old to do anything else (she died of cancer in her 80s). She told me life was too short to sweat the small stuff and if I could afford it, get a cleaning service and stop feeling guilty. My mother and sister were horrified that I was too "lazy" to clean my own house but I have had the same service for the past 10 years and I'm not sorry one bit! I really look forward to them coming because my house feels so good when I come home from work on those days. My hubby doesn't mind because it makes me happy and you know the old saying, "If mama's happy, everybody's happy!"

Amen sister! I have the same service, every other week which works for all those "real cleaning chores" and I love the way it free's up my time for other indulgences :)
I think that is the ULTIMATE indulgence!
What a timesaver! There are definitely more interesting things to do in life and you work hard and should enjoy whatever indulgence you can get :) And that's a good one!
im all for cleaning services! if i could afford one i definately would get one. Housework is so dull! and i always feel guilty if i dont do it - one day!
Good for you not feeling guilty-why should you? I used to have a domestic helper once a week but she broke so many things, and I could never find anything, eventually I said enough and since have done it myself. At least I know it is done the way i like and i can find everything!
I need to do that, but need to clean my house first.
