Sheshe - I totally related. I hate housework. How boring can one thing be??? I am also a PhD student, but have taken my program at a slower pace since having children. I am responsible for all the housework around here because, as my husband reminds me, he is earning money, I'm just going to school and raising kids. . . That's another matter. . . I just thought I'd tell all of you who are challenged with chores to check out this website. . .
flylady.net. She breaks down housework in 15 minute increments giving the rationale that anyone can do anything for 15 minutes.

OMG LMAO I'm saying this in total fun...if anyone takes offense then you are taking it totally wrong. I have not even thought about drinking today for the first time in so long I can't remember, but after reading all this whining I just want to knock back a few and go to bed. (I'm not going to knock back a few) ... I was wide awake and you gals just made me tired....god love ya...... goodnight.

Sheshe - I too can relate. Find the best time to do housework is when I am pissed off about something - had a set to with my boss (the jerk) and knew when I went home that if I didn't blow off steam somehow, well, you know. Ended up with all the walls in the main floor of the house washed!!!

Don't want to do that too often, thou - fight with the boss, that is.

Hang in there!

Sheshe-
Cleaning the house is one thankless, crappy job! I feel your pain. I have my parents coming to visit and I am DREADING cleaning this place from top to bottom. I should enlist the help of my 9 year old or husband but never do. If I ever win the lottery I am hiring a weekly cleaning person.

I alwys say that housework it the one thing that everyone notices if you don't do it, but no one notices if you do. I have been a working mother for 20 years, but still feel if my house isn't clean, that I'm a bad person in some way. I think that many years of drinking have told me that I have to be perfect to overcome this one problem.

You know, these guys are slobs and all expect us to be perfect and clean up their mess. I still haven't worked this one out in my mind.

Definitely food for thought.

Well, I unlike you all, quite like housework. If I could afford to be a housewife I really wouldn't mind. I would run a small home business (I have proved to be a terrible employee- great worker just hate bosses!) Spend time gardening until I'm blue. Ideally want land and to build my own house, but that's another story altogether.

sheshe, I do hope you read this, I will send you a pm just in case. There's a book called "The Wild Genie" by Alexander Pope. It's all about the power of menstruation. In it she talks about how our time affects our addictions. I have noticed I want to drink more, get drunk faster and have a worse hangover when it's my period. I definately reccomend this book to all the ladies!

Off to do my housework and then into the garden for the afternoon.

Love and light to you all!

I am going to get that book! I am tracking my drinking and this week was bad (drunk 3 times)- sure enough, yesterday morning was period time! My husband said "So, that's what the past 6 days have been about"! I am putting it on the calender and marking off the week before in yellow for "WARNING, WARNING, DANGER, DANGER" !!

Hmmn - i just checked the date I first posted and it seems that my P's are a bit out of whack! I need to really start keeping track of them.

Uh - sorry to all of the guys out there; hope you're not squeamish!

The Wild Genie

The book is definately for the girls but their hubbys and boys would benefit. It's not directly related to addiction, just to clear that, it's about menstruation and it's, yes, POWER! I see you've already seen the link though. Yes, use a calendar and also watch the moon.

Right boys, back to business...
