I just get dirty. I don’t mean my shoes have little smudges. I look like I fell in the garbage every day. I don’t understand it. When I worked, I dressed and left the house just like everyone else. By the time I got to work, I had stepped in something, spilled coffee on myself, or rubbed up against something and gotten a spot on my clothes. As the day went on, I was sure to end up with ink spots on my hands and/or clothes and have a few spots. I sponged the worst off, but still got home a mess.
I wear my oldest clothes in the yard and make no effort to stay clean. After a few hours of digging, hauling, moving rocks, and planting, I look like I have been rolling in the mud. That doesn’t bother me in the least. When I am done working, I just drop the clothes in the washer, and get straight in the shower.
My mother and two of my sisters stay crisp and clean. Mother can wear white and work all day and look like she’s dressed for a garden party. My other sister is like me. She looks like she works on a garbage truck. What in the world do people do who stay clean? Is it magic?

I have a Charles Schulz theory about dirt. There are those, like Pig Pen, whose bodies act like dirt magnets. Then there are the others. I belong in the PP clan 🙂

All I can say is that I’m with you and your sister. I’m also a dirty woman, have no idea why, and have no understanding of how those women who remain immaculate at all times do so. I’m glad to learn I’m in good company!

My sister had a landscaping company company. She bought the cheapest shoes she could find to work in. They looked horrible in just minutes.

Never been one to wear much white, but like most people, when I do, sure enough I find it hard to get through the day without getting a spot on it. It’s like white is a dirt magnet!

I’m glad there are so many other dirty people, it’s good to know I’m not alone. My house is a dirt magnet too. It’s hard to keep your place clean when you live with two large dogs – everything ends up brown.

I have an America Eskimo Dog. He sheds enough every day to upholster a whole new dog. My husband and I Are both messy in the house, too. I clean up every day and it looks like a tornado went through by bedtime.

When I was young, we were five girls and our mom freaked if we came home dirty because we wore dresses and she adorned them with too many frills and such to wash and i.r.o.n. Remember that job?
I told my daughter to come home dirty. By then I didn’t iron and didn’t buy anything that needed it.

Mother didn’t fuss about dirt, but torn clothes were trouble. I was always getting a sash ripped off or a snag.

I worked with a guy called Frank and we could work side by side all day and he would come out spotless and I would be a mess. I asked him his secret and he said [ You have to work with it, not in it } Guess who did most of the bull work though?

Dirty women is better than being “nasty women”. But you sound like any of us- if there is a bread crumb to be present, it would be around my mouth. If there is a bit of salad green that remains, it would remain on my teeth.
You are in good company.
