Cleaning.... No bueno!!!

Why is it so nice to have a clean, orderly house that doesn't smell like a dog 24/7 but so hard to get? There is nothing I hate more than to clean. Close in second is cooking. I am by far the complete opposite of a domestic housewife! I did not come by it naturally because my mom, my mom's mom and my dad's mom and even my sister are all about having a clean house (and their house is ALWAYS clean) and cooking a nice, healthy meal. I am the complete opposite. I don't mind a little mess, a little dust and a little laundry here and there and I certainly don't mind McDonalds, Chili's, and Boston Market (if I'm craving something a little healthier). Don't worry though, I make sure my son has fruits and vegetables from Fresh Market and there is nothing he loves more than Broccoli, Strawberries, watermelon, etc. He just has that along with the aforementioned! Anyhow, back to the cleaning ( I get sidetracked really really easily). I hate cleaning. Like absolutely DESPISE cleaning with a PASSION!!! I will put it off and put it off until it makes the cleaning even harder and take that much longer. Like, a bathroom shouldn't take over an hour to clean, right? Well, I guess it does if I like to have a little dance party while I'm cleaning.

Jim walked into the bathroom the other night and found me dancing to Hanson's MMMBop and then breaking it down to Come on Ride That Train while I was scrubbing the shower in rubber gloves (I just did my nails) and an awesome hard core sponge! After taking this picture, he just walked out shaking his head at me and told me that I must be on drugs! lol. I will not even tell you the last time I cleaned the shower prior to that so I had to make it fun or I would be really annoyed at myself! But it took me an entire week, basically my whole vacation, to clean my house. Fast forward to tonight, Jim and I cleaned the house a little more since his mom is coming to visit us for a few days starting tomorrow. After Jim vacuumed, he got up on the roof to finish fixing the leak and I had to mop. Well let me tell you, it is not smart to wait a long time to mop your house when you have a dog, a 2 year old and a husband who works outside for a living. Our white tile was only half white. So as I'm mopping, I have to stop every so often because my arms are hurting, I'm panting and I have sweat dripping from my head! Last time I checked, mopping was not supposed to be labor intensive. It would be nice to just wiggle your nose like the lady from I Dream of Jeanie (however you spell it) and poof, your entire house is clean. Like you can see it sparkle because it is so clean. But since that will never happen, I should just suck it up and clean or hire someone!
