You're right about that, housework is boring. BUT when I really get into it, I try to put on a lively tape and just like Nike says: Just Do It!..... Also, there are some tricks to it....one thing my Mom always told us was to do the whole thing all at the same time. BUT I've found that with the cleaners we have today, it is pretty easy to do pieces of the work together...ie. bathrooms...toilet bowl cleaner goes in all bathrooms upstairs at the same time. I clean all mirrors at the same time. Ditto with cleaning sinks and tubs.... and stuff like trash all at the same time. My way, it's easier...maybe not all done the same day, but it's not such a "big deal" this way.

I change sheets, THEN dust, THEN vacumn, in that order...not necessarily the same day. And so it goes. The repetitive problem for me is the kitchen. Our two Papillons tend to live in there, but their toys are messy....two of the big stuffed animals are sort of 'leaking' stuffing, so have fuzz around....plus the doggies themselves are little and their fur is close to the ground, so they drag in leaves and twigs....and the black glass stove, etc are just that....glass and always need attention.

Will send you good thoughts on Sunday!
