Yup, that's what I'm doing today. Cleaning. I love the straightening, organizing, decorating part of cleaning, but I hate the "mundane" tasks of dusting, vacuuming, 409ing, etc. But, I have to do it all. After all, I don't have a "real job" and am home more often. If that isn't motivation to get a job and hire a house cleaner I don't know what is. Chris usually does dishes (but there's more now that I've been cooking) and he sort of cleans up after the cats - ie: changes the cat box, but he's as unorganized as I am with "stuff" so there's always a mess or some half completed job hanging around. But, he goes to work every day and brings home the bacon, so I really have no grounds to complain. I just like to bitch because I don't like cleaning. Eh, grass is always greener, right?
The other trouble is that, when I clean, I get "ideas". I want new blinds.........we need to reporcelain the tub..........we need new kitchen cupboards......we need an additional cat box.......we need........and we do! But, I only become obsessed when I am at one with the house. Danger Will Robinson!
hehehe. It's so obvious I don't like cleaning because, instead of doing it, I'm posting in my LJ. How often does that happen?
The good news is that I've been cooking at home every day and I've lost the 5 pounds I gained pet sitting last week. And tomorrow is my sobriety birthday! Yeah, I could have a lot more worries in this world.
