the plague: housework

housework is like a cancer- it simply never goes away.  You pick up the house and then some stranger comes and ransacks your house and you have to start all over again.  okay, well not really.  Those strangers are mostly Louis and I.  But I don't understand it- how can 2 grown adults be so ridiculously messy?

There are many bad habits that I need to break.  One of them is picking up after us.  My goal- to pick up for at least 15 minutes at the beginning or end of everyday.  30 minutes of light housework and then deep clean something for another 30 minutes.  That sounds so feasible!  But you know what blogland?  I have no willpower or self control.  But that's gonna change!  I will not let laziness overcome, I will conquer every bad habit and problem until I am perfect, I mean a better person.  I realize that bad habits are hard to break and it's gonna take hard hard hard work considering that I despise cleaning.  But according to Louis, everyone does and I should stop complaining as if I'm the only one that has to do something she doesn't wanna do.  Well pffft to you Louis.  It's my blog and I will complain if I want to. 

Seriously though, the worst part about cleaning is my bad attitude.  It ruins everything.  I need an attitude makeover and scripture is good for that kinda thing they tell me. 

I don't think I'm quite ready to give it up.  My bad attitude and my complaining.  But seriously, embrace cleaning and be grateful for all that I have to clean and wash?  Pfft.  Doing things begrudgingly is one thing, a heart change is much harder. 

PS- I write this with much sarcasm as I poke fun at myself.  Please know that I'm working to change my bad habits and put myself in timeout often for not taking this seriously enough.
