I vacuum once a day also...have to - I cannot stand the bits of crap on your feet when you walk around (we have a lot of lino in the house and no rugs yet.)
So no, I dont think you are mad at all! Vacuuming is just part of my everyday routine now, so I hardly notice ...but I notice if I dont do it!
That has only been since we moved into this house with two kids though - we have tiles throughout and a big rug in the loungeroom. I cannot stand to leave crap all over the rug so usually vaccuum around lunch time and then later in the afternoon if needed. Generally only the loungeroom would get done twice though.
It doesn't really phase me but I've seriously been considering a hand held Dyson - I've seen them in action and they're amazing!
OMG, I thought I had OCD when it came to cleaning the house, but clearly not!! lol.
I actually do the vac once a week, but wait, I vac EVERYTHING. Couches, cushions, chairs, lamps, remote controls, phones, tables, computer, printer, my cat....lol. When the vac comes out I am ruthless.
I actually feel better now, I'll have to tell my friends I am not a clean freak like they think I am haha.
only once per week at the moment and it's driving me crazy. I just can't find the time during the week at the moment with a small baby who doesn't sleep much during the day (and when he does I'm not vacuuming!). We have a fireplace and drag wood and crap in all the time. I just have to ignore it until Saturday morning. In my perfect world I would probably do it once a day, but I just can't see it happening.
i TRY to do it once a day....sometimes twice. My DH thinks im looney. after dinner, off i trot to get the dyson out, and i vacumn all the crumbs off the floor. DH thinks im getting anal in my old age...
I think the fact i have a dyson makes a difference too..i serioulsy , serioulsy LOVE seeing the crap in the barrel my dyson picks up.....weird i know...
If I can 'see' stuff and it's really obvious then I HAVE to vacuum it.
So the bedroom carpets ahem, I have been known to vacuum them 2-3 times per day.
Now that makes me sound like Mrs Clean and honestly, if you saw my house you would laugh hysterically at the idea that I vacuum even once a month.
The rest of the house is polished boards and concrete floors. I'm impervious to dust and filth on there. I literally can't see it. It doesn't get vacuumed and it doesn't get mopped.
It's only stuff on carpets that bothers me. And I have this whizzy rechargeable, cordless vacuum cleaner so there's no faffing plugging it in. I don't know how I lived without it.
