Ladies and gents, I abhor washing dishes. I would almost rather do anything than dishes. Not only do they make my hands all dry and my eczema run rampant, but they never end! I swear, it literally takes me an hour to get them all done every morning and then another half hour after dinner. I can't even breathe a sigh of relief when I go to bed at night, because I know that I'll have a million more to do in the morning, since a bowl and spoon are not sufficient enough for Jeremiah to have his breakfast in in the morning. He has to dirty a million spoons and cups and bowls, so I have another sink full in the morning! I've tried leaving the empty dishwasher open for him in the morning, so he'll get the hint and load it himself. To no avail. How hard is it to load a dishwasher, Jere?! Seriously?!
So, between the million dishes I've been washing today, I've had to sweep and mop and clean the bathroom to sparkly perfection. . . My parents are coming here tomorrow, and it's a 3 hour drive from their house to ours, so I'd like it to look gorgeous. Which is difficult for me to accomplish, since I'm not the tidiest person. Yes, I like a clean house, but I don't freak out if there's a few DVDs or books left lying around. I don't mind the wash cloth draped over the sink or the bills left out on the counter, so I won't forget to pay them. But, this is my mom we're talking about here, and she pretty much runs a clutter free house. Heaven knows how she does it. (I can barely keep up with all these stupid dishes!)
One of the reasons I'm so determined to have a flawless house, is because I'm pretty sure my mom is expecting to walk in on less than a clean house. I'm going to show that I can make a immaculate house though, and then I'll let it fall apart again once my parents and little sister go back home. But, maybe I'll love a spotless house and keep it that way. (It would be spotless if I didn't have so many dishes!! Gah!!)
