Housework never ends

One thing about weekends that i dislike is Monday morning… why?? Have you seen our house on a monday morning. The weekend dishes piles up to fill my entire kitchen table, old weekend food has to be scratched out of the pots, cups and glasses are hidden everywhere in the lounge and tekkies and socks just lay where we took them off.

My bedroom which is normally neat and clean during the week is filled with weekend clothes that need to go into the laundry basket,  the bed hasnt been made since friday morning cuz why make the bed when weekend naps are at the top of the relax list.  Every pair of shoes and clothing that has been worn or touched during the two day mini holiday is either on the floor or pushed into the cupboard.  Casual home clothes has been horded up during the past week and those have to be sniffed out and added to the growing pile of dirty laundry in my bathroom.

Before i even have breakfast its bedding that needs to be changed, clothing folded and dirty ones transfered to the laundry. Shoes packed away and junk thrown in the bin or atleast put away neatly just for now. Then its getting dressed and brushing teeth before changing the bathroom mats and towels for fresh ones.

Next cleaning the lounge, scrounging for all the dirty dishes that might be lurking around.  Putting away all my books neatly or atleast out of eyesight. Dishes get packed ready to be washed while the first pile of laundry gets chucked into my awesome 8kilo load washing maschine. Dishes gets done, kitchen gets relatively clean then finally breakfast at around 9:30.

Now time to check all the emails, start looking for more jobs, then the laundry tune and i have to go hang up the first load, next load in etc etc, and so it goes. all morning long till atleast 11:00.  Thats when i have to start making lunch and when thats over and the man has gone back to work at around one in the afternoon i generally find something nice to do for him cuz i love spoiling him so then i bake.

Anyone who thinks a woman has it easy really dont know what they are talking about. Just because we are good at stuff or like things like baking doesnt mean its not hard work or doesnt make us tired.  Oh well, the tune just went off indicating my last load of laundry is ready to go hang up and then i might start baking early… and tonight its off to the gym.  Thank heaven for chocolate
