Housework is a wonderful stress reliever for me but when I am not stressed I would rather not do it...actually I hate doing it and will make tons of excuses not to! If I let things go too long it actually causes stress as well...thus I clean it up to relieve that stress....
I have come to the conclusion that I pretty much suck at being a housekeeper. I can't keep up with the demands of the job. It is a never ending cycle of dirty sticky stuff that constantly needs washing, floors covered in sand from the sand box outside and substances from a potty training toddler and an aging dog, laundry Laundry LAUNDRY, DIRTY DISHES ALL DAY, scattered toys, unmade beds, soap scum tubs, full trash cans, grimey counters, dusty blinds, finger paint explosions, crayon marks on the wall, hand prints EVERYWHERE....
I love it when I get all caught up and the feeling is wonderful but it only lasts like 3 seconds and then something is wrecked again. I have to try to get caught up today since I am feeling a good bit better.
I am right there with you.....I despise it! I think my most hated thing is the Laundry. It is never ending and I never get it caught up. I am glad that you are feeling better though, maybe you should just take today to celebrate feeling better and go do something fun instead of cleaning house :)
ReplyDeleteyep.
ReplyDeleteI also clean when I'm stressed. I also usually clean when I am talking on the phone so I won't feel like I am wasting time. Having said that, it's amazing that my house so dirty all the time!
