If You Give a Mom a Vacuum

16 Replies

I really should vacuum.

But if I vacuum and don’t bathe the dog, the house will still smell like dirty dog. So if I vacuum, I have to bathe the dog.

If I bathe the dog, I’ll have to clean the bathroom.

If I clean the hall bathroom, I may as well clean all the bathrooms.

If I clean all the bathrooms and vacuum, I should probably mop the tile.

If I mop the kitchen, I should wipe down the cabinets.

If I’m getting the wood cleaner out, I should do the banister as well.

If the banister is clean, I should clean the paw marks off of the front door.

I think I’ll go shopping.

But if you go shopping, you are going to try on clothes that make you feel like you should exercise.

{Not you, of course. Me.}

Cute! The domino effect…it got me this weekend, and thus, I opted to neglect my domestic duties…or rather…put them off for a day. 🙂

  Good for you. I’ve never heard anyone express regret over postponing chores. 😉

  Oy. He’ll never understand it. But then I’ll never understand a lot of things about him. 🙂

I love it! It sounds just like me! I bet there are lots of us out there, so what time and where shall we meet up for shopping?

  Well, I usually end up at Target, because I can rationalize that I’m there to buy “household” items. If I throw in socks and underwear for my boys, I can justify the trip!
  
  Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
