I have been called a "neat freak" once or twice... But, last night after a busy weekend I went in the kitchen to start dinner... At that very moment, I almost lost my damn mind. The sink was full of dishes the counters had shit on them... AHHHHHHH! So, here is my problem, I CAN NOT cook in a dirty kitchen! If the rest of my house is a mess it will all be OK as long as the kitchen is clean! And if there is anything in the sink, then its not clean. It really. really bugs me! Crazy?
Maybe a little...
I fell kinda like a freak... I mean, just cook and clean later, right? NOPE! Not going to happen. Its almost like I think the food will not be as good if the kitchen is dirty or I cant enjoy the process of cooking when its not just the way I like it! How do you expect em to enjoy a nice meal when all I can think about when I am eating it is, How dirty the kitchen is!!
You know what would be nice... If my husband would notice the kitchen is dirty (vs ignoring it) and actually did something about instead of waiting for me to either do it myself or yell (i mean) ask him to do it!!!
OMG That drives me nuts!! (So if you are reading, honey...) Lets be honest, If I could get some help with out asking him to put down the video games, pause the football game or put down the guitar etc... Not only would I be so happy but just imagine what he could get in return. :) Yes, I use my lovely lady lumps as a reward or to get what I want... So what!
WOW! This went form a "Could I be a little nuts/ O.C.D" to a "My husband is lazy" blog!! HAHA I have realized two different things in this entry... I AM crazy and my Husband makes me that way! :)
So, how inappropriate would it be to make a "Daily Chore Chart" for the adults in the house? That way my husband can be held accountable and he can see everything I already do! Or we can get our house keeper back?! Oh, this could be the answer to so many of my problems!! Clean house, More energy cause I am not doing everything and I don't resent my hubby! Oh, this is going to be gooooood!!
I mean... Men do really need to be told what to do and not expected, right? Or are they just that damn smart? I'm thinking the 1st one...
Wish me and my new "chore chart" luck!
Clean kitchens and Love,
Tamara
I feel the same way. The difference is that I am able to be a stay at home mom. The down side, he expects me to do EVERYTHING!!!! I understand cleaning, kids, laundry etc. But when the kids are screaming and crying and I'm trying to clean so I can them cook everyone dinner or lunch or breakfast, can he get off his ass and help?? If I wash, dry, and fold the clothes, can he just hang his clothes up instead of throwing all of them on the floor?? keep us posted on how it goes, I just might have to use that little list if it works :)
