Cleaning.. I have to do it, but I don't wanna....yuck!!

Great photo tag (before I forget to say). At the risk of making things worse, umm, I don't know how to say it so both feet first. My husband is a star. He ran his own house/flat before he married me and still does lots to help. He does not mind cooking even does the ironing occasionally and lets me get away with loads. I have spent my day off on the computer and now have square eyes. Mind you I have still done two loads of washing and am going to put the clothes away and clean the bathroom in a minute when I let somebody else have a turn on here. What gets me is when I am ill these jobs don't get done and wait until I am better. Whereas if he is ill or away I cover all of his jobs as well as mine. Still apparently I can't complain.

Today is my cleaning day too. I must say that I am not looking forward to it at all. I feel so overwhelmed I don't know where to start. At least you have a partial list going and know what you are setting out to do. I still have to sit down and do that part. So, misheleen, don't feel alone. I am there with ya in spirit. Hey, I'll race ya, lol

I hate cleaning too. I know exactly how you feel, today is a cleaning day here, too! Yuck. The fridge needs cleaning, the dishes are stacked up and there is an entire tub of laundry to be done by hand. :P I feel for you. Which is why we are both on Mylot, right? :)

i hate laundry lol I have a closet full to do and I have to take out the trash and I have to sweep the trash out and also clean out the van and to clean up my sons room and to as they say spring clean and clean the cat litter out lol and I need to sweep the floor and to clean and mow the yard and to go grocery shopping all in 1 day lol but that seems impossible all in 1 day.

Hehehe so you are suffering. Even I suffered same last monday. As I went out with my wife on weekends and wasn't able to goto office , I had some four major files waiting for me. I had to complete all pending work . It took me some 7 hours to complete all. I really regret for not doing work when it was suppose to . Anyway need help !!! Sorry dear you live too far for me to come and help you. If I would have been near, would definately have helped you.

i love to do household chores but i hate washing.. my husband used to do that for me he also walks the dog around while taking care of our son.. and im the one to clean the house..

I feel like that too, a lot. And every day is my day off since I am a stay at home mom. I don't know how working mothers do it all.

LMAO, Yes All the time. I am a work at home mom and only take wednesdays off. Well them days we have extra work to do, cheerleading for 2 kids, family comes over for dinner. Its horriable, and thats my one day off. LOL.. it never ends here either. I have 3 kids, a buttload of animals and a husband thats worse then all of them. lol

Oh I can relate...It was my day off today..and I had to finish the taxes...yuck...and in between, run loads of wash, toss them in the dryer and reload the washer, mop the kitchen floor, clean 2 bathrooms and the kitchen, run to the store to get a few necessities, set up all my husband's medicines, re-order medicine, make a doctor's appt, mend a pair of slacks for my husband, go pick up his dress shirts at the cleaners, get gas in the car, wash the car, work on the taxes somemore, send some business emails out, pay the bills, make a deposit at the credit union and set up my monthly volunteer schedule....whew....I'm glad this day is over...but don't feel like I got much time to myself...At this moment I'm glad I don't have a dog..but I did have to walk my 5 miles on the treadmill...so my FUN day off is over...but at least a few things are done...and a lot aren't...but they'll be there when I get home tomorrow and I'll start all over again...Let's face it..we have 2 jobs..and we just go from one to the other!!! LOL...I am grateful for my job and also for my home...so I shouldn't complain...but I did!!!!! and today even Calgon couldn't have taken me far enough!!!! I think I need a wife!!!!LOL....

LOL i am so with you :):):) It just keeps going on and on and it never stops and sometimes I would just like a break no matter how small:) It's not that I don't like to do those things, sometimes it relaxes me doing them, but it's the repetition that gets to me. Day in, day out. You do it now, have to do it again tomorrow, or next week. And it never stops. Sometimes you just do something now and in 5 minutes you have to do it again ...

I do slack off more than I clean. My house is always a mess. Then when people want to come over i have to work twice as hard to clean it. Since I have my computer my house always suffers. I hate dishes, I hate dusting, I hate vacuuming. I HATE housework!!

Oh my friend, I can perfectly UNDERSTAND what you're feeling. I may be a sucker for cleanliness but I also tend to laze around and stared at nothing. It seems like 24 hours is not enough for me to accomplish everything. I was just about to take a rest when something appeared right before my eyes that's begging me to clean them up. grrrr...

Whereever in the world women moves the society. Families stay in comfort because of them. Houses are cleanly maintained by them. Children are brought up healthy by them. Pets are looked after by them. Men are properly maintained by them. They are the base of their family. Without them houses will be miscerable.

I use to hate my days off because they never really felt like days off with all of the housework I would have to catch up on. These days it is easier because I don't have a job outside of the house. My job these days is taking care of our four dogs and my three children. I still hate to do dishes but I don't think that I will ever change about that.

that was a lot of work indeed..take it easy i guess and relax at least..it no fun doing that but if you have some music around at least it will make your loads of work lighter...ive been doing that all the times listening to music tha t i like..

Well cleaning is something that is tiresome to do alright, but it is also fulfilling. Just think that no one will keep the house clean but you, unless you can hire a help.

i too dont enjoy cleaning but the way i look aat it if i dont clean my house then who will? ..... NO-ONE. once i finish cleaning i feel a whole lot better in myself as i hate to see my flat dirty and i like it to be clean all the time. hope you felt better after you finished your cleaning friend

I'm feeling the same way today =) There is so much to be done and with 7 kids and expecting in Aug I just cant seem to get a handle on everything =( I guess though I have no other choice....Good Luck in your cleaning and all your running around! Stacy

Yes I feel like that ALOT. I think it is important that you take time for your self. And when I think about cleaning or even when I am cleaning I try to think of it as a way of blessing my family. A way that I show them that I love them. It helps me get my mind out of the funk. Right now I have a stack of shirts to iron but here I am. LOL I guess duty calls.
