Housework weekend!

If only it DID suck!

If only it DID suck!

What is your least favorite chore around the house?  Is it the bathroom?  Washing dishes,  maybe doing laundry, or ironing????  Mine is vacuuming!  I despise it.  I avoid it as much as I can – which is surprising, because every other area of my home – SO neat, SO tidy.

 

I love doing the dishes, I find ironing relaxing, and enjoy dusting!  But once my walk from the bedroom to the kitchen starts to get a little rocky underfoot, I give in.

 

But do I judge too quickly this unsung hero of the broom closet?

Does it not suffer enough because it sucks?

When you think about it – it’s a grand word – It rates 2 u’s! (The envy of some shepherders). 

 

Plus, vacuum has been given the honour of being a noun and a verb.  “Hey, honey, take the vacuum and vacuum!!”

 

Maybe it’s because a hospital straw has more suction than my ole appliance.

 

I will go over the same piece of thread 5 times before I bend over.  I bend over NOT to pick it up, but to move it and then try to vacuum it up again!

 

So now I challenge you.  Get that monkey of a house cleaning chore off your back.  Let me know what your least favorite chore is around the house.  And if you are brave — send me a picture of said torture!  But  keep it, uh, clean… OK?
