In-laws

You know you are slacking when your husband announces "my Mom might stop by" while he is cleaning the bathroom counter!  WAA HOOO.  I am not a housecleaner.  I do not enjoy cleaning house and mostly I do it when I am really energetic.  Lately that has not happened very often!  I am busy subbing in three districts.  I try to cook dinner during the week but even that doesn't always happen.   Seriously folks I am not a good housewife by any means.  I was not meant to spend my time away from work doing that.  I enjoy reading, watching TV, walking the dog, Heck even mowing the lawn comes much higher on my list of enjoyment.  Hey doesn't getting on the roof and unplugging gutters count for housecleaning?  I don't mind doing that!  BAH  OK so this is my bane of existence, my sadness to my delightfully (otherwise) non-hedonistic life.  I need a maid to follow along behind me and clean up the messes I seem to make just be being!  The table that somehow has clothes on it (that aren't mine), the counter which has at least containers of pens (which again aren't mine), the floor which needs vacuuming and sweeping (ok some of that is mine after all I did drop the wood bag while bringing in wood for the wood stove.)   So maybe I do need to clean but darn it I wanted to spend my saturday doing; ummmm NOTHING!

WELL, nothing other than walking my dog, reading, writing on my computer, dreaming of a clean house that I do not have to clean, making lunch, watching the laundry grow,and maybe settling in for a movie and popcorn and potato salad.

Potato salad will be provided by the man I love who started this whole darn conversation about why I hate cleaning and why I now have to.

Have a great Saturday friends.
