Do you ever feel like you are drowning in housework? That’s how I feel at the moment. Toys and shoes and jackets are scattered everywhere, stacks of papers need to be sorted and dealt with, clean dishes need to be put away and dirty ones loaded in the dishwasher, the floors need to be vacuumed, the laundry basket is full, etc. It’s not that it’s more work than I can handle, but Falco just went down for his nap and I want to relax. I guess what I’m really saying is, I’m lazy. I want to sit and play Xbox or write this blog post instead of doing chores during my only break during the day.

I guess I could have tackled one of the jobs above in the time it took me to type this. I can’t put off cleaning much longer because we’re hosting playgroup tomorrow, and the house needs to be in reasonable order before then. OK. I’m going to go do a flurry of cleaning for 30 minutes, and then I’ll feel justified to sit around until Falco wakes up.
