I have a confession to tell you: I have not cleaned my house for 2 weeks. What I mean by that is I haven’t scrubbed the toilets or the floors or dusted or done windows- you know the once a week chore that everyone dreads. It’s picked up- well mostly, and the dishes are done daily and the garbages did manage to make it out; I just haven’t found the motivation to scrub the house down. I think it’s time; you can tell because when I walk across my kitchen floor I have to forcibly lift my feet to continue on my path because of all the sticky everywhere. And the bathroom mirror (the boys bathroom mirror- the girls bathroom is always clean) is looking more like fogged glass than a mirror. I stopped using their bathroom a week ago- boys cannot aim; even full grown ones.
Tomorrow is going to be the day.
I think.
I hope.
I dunno. Maybe I will lose motivation in my sleep tonight and it will be another week.
If that is the case then I may have to get a hotel until I find the motivation. Its getting unlivable.
Oh, I know! I will lock myself in my room- because my room is clean- and that’s where the girls bathroom is so I will be in a clean environment there.
But then there is the food problem….kitchen is the messiest room in the house right now. I really should not be allowed to cook in that room until it has had a thorough once over.
Alright so take out for a week, and we should be good, right??
Then there is that whole Disneyland/Husband get away that I am saving for and take out for a week would kill that.
What to do….what to do….
I think it wouldn’t be such a huge motivational problem except that kids and husband are home way more often lately and they bring with them a certain mess that is ever present. Immediately after cleaning my entire house it is inevitable that someone will cause some kind of disastrous mess that will undo a whole days work. It’s as though there is a magnetic attraction to a clean floor and spills, and a picked up living room and a new toy ‘set-up’(which is kid talk for I am going to drag out every toy I have
and take about an hour arranging them, then walk away and leave the mess for someone to clean up.)
Plus, there is this thing about me that I like to clean my house before I get in the shower for the day- who wants to get scrubbed toilet in their freshly shampooed hair, right? And the boys in the house who are supposed to help with the cleaning of the house never want to clean in the morning. The spouse is the worst complainer.
I am very quickly loosing motivation to get this house clean tomorrow.
Blogging, bow making, scrapbooking, bracelet making, cooking- okay- basically anything is sounding better than cleaning the
house.
It’s not going to happen. We are make it to 3
weeks.
