Happy Wednesday Everyone! it's not quite as warm as yesterday but the sun is shining so that's always a good thing 
I'm sitting here enjoying my coffee and a morning talk show is on the tv. The question they asked is this...."if you could have someone do something you hate to do, what would it be?"
The most common answer is housework (by the women) and yard work (by the men).
Over the past year I've seriously thought about hiring a housekeeper but just when I'm ready to do it, I change my mind.
Most of the time I think about it when I'm cleaning the bathrooms and trying to get behind the toilet and into those hard to reach places. It would also be nice to have someone do the showers and the floors.
Now that spring is coming it really would be nice to have a whole house cleaning including all the windows.
It's tempting and I just might finally do it.
What is something you'd love to have someone do for you that you hate doing?

Someone to wash my windows and dust and clean my oven would be nice.

The older I get the longer it takes me to get stuff done. I remember the days when I could clean the whole house in one fell swoop and still have plenty of energy left.

@Marilynda1225 Tell me about it. I sometimes need to take a break between chores.

I really dislike folding clothes. That is probably my most hated task, that is why I hang so many things up. Take heart Marilyn, they say in the next 10 years there will be robots to do those household tasks for us..but it will probably be like everything else, they will cost thousands of dollars and then come down in price. I hope I have one in my old age, not that I 'm not old now..but yeah, I could get into one of those.

I'm not crazy about folding clothes either but I hate dusting more than laundry. I would love a robot

There is nothing I hate doing, I am lucky to be alive I suppose, even in these miserable circumstances.

@Marilynda1225 No..I posted about the last one I looked at. My son had a severe reaction when we looked at it due to the chemicals they sprayed in there.

Any chance you've been lucky enough to find a new place?

That and unblocking the shower drain when it has got clogged up with hair.

I'd have them do exactly what you've suggested - bathrooms and floors. It's getting harder and harder for me.

I hate to wash dishes after dinner. It would be great if someone can do that for me. I can relax after dinner.

Wouldn't that be great! Being able to relax after dinner and someone else does the clean-up

I do not dislike all housework but heating milk is the worst chore for me.

Right now I am having hard time getting back on track since I lost one of my cats so right now just someone at hand to be nearby and urging me onward. Tish is feeling spring coming and hoping around like a rabbit and that helps cheer me,

I want someone to help me with mopping the floor and sweeping the front street in the front yard of our house.

I guess the deep-cleaning stuff like baseboards and shower tiles.
