Housework
I have suspected something for some time and today I think I have confirmed that it is true. I like to do housework. I like cleaning, laundry, ironing, and even cooking! Now before you decide I am totally insane, I'm not saying that I don't have other things I would rather do or that I sit around longing to break out the Windex. I do, however, love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with most of the jobs around the house. I know they have to be done over and over again, but for a few minutes you have visible results for your hard work. I like to put on a good movie and get some ironing done where I can have fun and accomplish something at the same time. I like it when our drawers and hangers are full of clean clothes, the windows are sparkling, and my husband sits down to my dinner at the table. And I want to do it myself. It just isn't the same for me when someone else does it. It certainly has nothing to do with me being some kind of domestic goddess (far from it), I am just admitting that it isn't that hard for me to do because I enjoy the process. So, that's my admission for the day. I think I will probably also enjoy watching my children do housework. : ) Get ready, kiddos!

Hi Courtney! I've commented on here before...I'm one of your blog stalkers. Can I say you're one sick lady. You should get help with this disorder...or come to my house. Ha,Ha. (Just joking with you) Andrea Noe
Ohhhhh, don't kid yourself. You ARE a domestic goddess. I need to spend more time around you and let you rub off on me a little bit. Okay---a LOT. Hayley got a pretend iron and ironing board for her birthday. She looked at it and looked at me with an inquisitive look like, "What the hec is this thing?" :) I told her I wasn't sure and to ask you. :)
I like the feeling of a clean house, but I think I would like it even better if it wasn't ME who had to spend the time doing it!!! I love the feeling of having dinner on the table for my family, I just don't really like the process of getting it there. So, I'm with you on the feeling, but not the process, and my dream someday is to be able to walk into a freshly cleaned house that I had nothing to do with the process. True confessions!
Y'all are making me laugh out loud! Andrea, I know, I think it's an inherited disease. Shelma, you crack me up. Hayley and I will have an ironing party! Kendra, believe me, I have no understanding of why I would rather do it myself than have someone else do it! As Andrea said, it may be a serious illness. I'm thinking that if Ches gets a chance to catch up on blogs, I may get my first "amen" on this one. Come on, Ches, I know you love a good floor scrub!!!
