Dollars or Pounds?

I do most of the house-keeping/cooking/washing at home. What really pisses me off is the total inability of the Current Wife or Wicked StepDaughter to load the dishwasher from the back. Yes, I know it's a not the end of the world, but......

Anyway--can't believe your cardigan charm cannot overcome? Even with leatherette buttons?

Kinda hot, no?

Au contraire, girly-girl. I spent a goodly portion of my Sunday afternoon scrubbing toilets and putting in the make-it-blue tablets, taking out trash, loading the dishwasher, pulling gacky hair out of the bathroom sink plunger/stopper dealie, and other minor domestic chores. Next weekend, I will sweep and vacuum the hardwood and furniture.

I do domestic. I'm a *real* man.

Are you kidding me??? I bust my ass in MY house!! I am currently fixing all the eff-ups from recently evicted ex-wife. That entails sanding walls flat (she'd paint instead of wash) skim coat with spackle, sand and then repaint. That is for the whole house. I'm replacing damaged doors and reinstalling new cabinets/drawers in the kitchen (she freakin PAINTED them too and thought it was nice) even a blind man can see the drips and shit all over. OMG - I have been cleaning and scrubbing everything for three weeks and I'm not even close to being finished with any of it cuz the sanding creates more of a mess than the three cats she left behind. Ugghh, a mans job is never done.

Although I am workin my butt off - the place is starting to look nice - I'm just very impatient. I want to get all the new furniture and stuff in, but I can't till the work is done.

Oh - Yes I am very OCD - it all HAS to be right. Then it's easy to keep it clean.

I pay someone to clean for me once a week. She earns what I earn per hour, and believe me I'd rather work two hours at my job than clean my house ... Does that make me a Bad Person

?

Nope. Just a person with priorities who knows what they do, and do not, want to do.

I'm just praying Stacy doesn't flash us her toilet again...

Trilby · 11-20-2006, 07:21 PM

ooo-I miss StacyV--in a rather ambiguous way...

I liked her---she hated me. Was V. weird.

In a word No. I have a sign on my fridge that states. "If you write in dust, please don't date it."

busterb · 11-20-2006, 07:30 PM

But hey, my dishes are clean. Dotty licks each and every one for me.

JayMcGee · 11-20-2006, 07:34 PM

lol! well, I guess that's an idea too.... just leave 'em out for our five cats to lick clean.... and they would, too, given half a chance....

(although, finding a horizontal surface free enough might be problematical....)

The things I use, get dusted. The more often they're used, the more often they're dusted.

Hoof Hearted · 11-20-2006, 10:01 PM

With 9 indoor and 2 indoor/outdoor kitties, every flat surface is dusted by them;

I only dust the tv and shelves they can't get onto. I like to sweep the kitchen regularly and mop about once/week. I vacuum almost daily, but with this many kitties, I need to.
I also try to just pick one or two chores so I don't feel overwhelmed. For the most part, PUPA (pick up put away) goes a long way towards making a house look tidy.
