House Cleaning

I have decided that I really hate to clean, especially while I am sick. It's a bit weird, I don't mind actually scrubbing things, but the general act of picking up and putting away drives me crazy. My house is a bit chaotic right now. I have had a cold, which I hate, that has set me back a few steps. Not to mention that my 92 year old great-grandma had a stoke on Sunday which threw me for a bit of a loop. I especially hate dishes. There is just something about them that I loathe. It's weird because I hate not having clean dishes, but the actual act of cleaning them makes me want to vomit. I walk into my kitchen, look around, and then walk right back out. It's sad really, and sooner or later - probably sooner - I will have to change my ways so my kids don't learn my habits. I remember washing dishes as a kid, and actually trying to pay my parents to do them for me. Doesn't work to well when you have about 50 cents to your name and your 6 years old. In time my family moved house and... wait for it... WE GOT A DISHWASHER!! I believe whoever invented the dishwasher should go straight to heaven. Todd and I actually looked at buying a different house the other day and ruled it out because it didn't have a dishwasher. Sad isn't it. I also particularity dislike vacuuming. I'm not 100% sure why though. Maybe it's because I don't like doing the edges. I hate having to pull the hose out, find the right attachment, and then bend over the whole time I'm doing it. I don't understand why they can't make a vacuum with a longer handle so I don't have to play Mrs. Hunchback while I vacuum around the edge of the room. Well now that I've bitched I should probably go... and clean.... sigh.
