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?
