"The Daily Failure," claim it as yours right now! It sounds so ominous--perfect. When I really think about how the 1950's housewife lived I'm sure I would have died from the degree of failure I'd have experienced. What would I have been in that role? My God, drunk for one thing, I'm sure. Oh, Becky, that’s funny. “The Daily Failure,” claim it as yours right now! It sounds so ominous–perfect.

How in the heckfire do I copyright that term, heh. My mom is obsessively clean. I decided I didn't want to be that way...ever. I like my clutter. One thing I refuse to do around here is to clean up after inconsiderate people. I'm more than happy to do the laundry and the dishes, but if my family members can't be bothered to put their favorite dirty shirts in the hamper, tough titty. If I have to ask you to do it you do it on MY time. You get to stop watching TV, or whatever else, and go pick up your crap. I'm not the maid. Of course, I can't include my toddler in on this. Guess who inconsiderately drew crayon scribbles all over the walls? Housework is “the daily failure”. How in the heckfire do I copyright that term, heh.

Why is it assumed that because we choose to be at-home moms, we automatically LOVE housework (and are subsequently GOOD at it as well)?? One of these days, I'll figure out how to stay on top of it all....probably just in time to go back to work. Don't feel bad about doing the I'm-so-impatient-because-you're-so-slow-I'm-gonna-lose-my-mind thing....I get there at least once a week. I know we were all new once, but why does it seem like I always get the newbies when I'm in a hurry? I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets so lucky! ;) My Bears are in the Super Bowl!! *happy dance, happy dance* UGH — don’t even get me started on the housework.

I do love the smell of a hot iron. Oh, well, so much I must sacrifice to write. HEHEHE. I love that feeling when everything is clean, but it's the "not staying that way" part that makes me insane.

Although for some reason the other day I had an insane urge to be domestic. I ironed the freakin' sheets! Maybe it was a full moon. Normally, not so much with the housework. I always say i want to make just enough with my writing to afford a maid to come in twice a month. I hear ya on the housework, sister.
