Chores

Today I spent an hour or so cleaning up the apartment. Yes, that's about all it takes me to clean my place... 2 bedrooms & 1 bathroom, it goes pretty fast. Except the laundry, and the dusting. No matter how long I spend on dusting, it looks just as bad the next day as it did before I started. It gets so dusty up here, especially in the summertime when the windows are open all the time...

If I were to choose a favorite household chore, though, it would have to be laundry. I love having a washing machine that does all the work for me- all I have to do is stick the clothes in, rotate them after an hour into the dryer, then repeat about 5 times, once (sometimes twice) a week. And I really don't mind folding and putting it away.

If I were to choose a least favorite chore, it would be cleaning the bathroom. How fortunate that I only have one to clean, right? Actually, it might be easier to keep clean if we had a separate bathroom from the kids. That would also mean I might have a little privacy once in a while in the bathroom... how nice would that be! Maybe some day. Until then, thank goodness for locks on the door!

Me too - laundry is my favorite! I do it all in one day once a week so it's the only chore that stays done for 7 days!

P.S. I'd say Aspen is like, totally old enough to join the labor force and clean that bathroom! ;)

I love laundry too!! Nothing beats clean sheets day at my house. I hate dishes...almost as much as I loathe cleaning the shower. The rest of the chores I don't mind so much.

We have three bathrooms and I still never have privacy. Even if I sneak off they somehome manage to find me. My husband on the other hand reads novels in there. I don't know how he does it?
