Work and No Play!!

I don't know why I think I deserve a break for at least one day but when I do take a day off the house implodes. It's not a pretty sight. So my Monday's I'm catching up for what I put off from the weekend. I keep telling myself I deserve a break so I take one but I end up with more work to do. I live with 3 slobs and they don't know what a garbage can is and my kids think toys belong on the floor which I have almost killed myself on many occasions. I keep telling myself if I keep harping on the kids they will get it some day but my hubby, I can't change his habits.

In the meantime I'm just flustered. It's like come on, I just cleaned that. Some days I would like to go on strike but then I change my mind because I also have to live here too. No way in hell will I live like that. It's gross and I need a shower just thinking about it. I keep telling my family if they don't do their part I'm going to move.

Kidding aside, I do feel like that sometimes when it gets real bad but I do love my family and I put up with some of it. So I'm on catch up cleaning today the rest of the week I clean here and there but most of my job is to keep the house tidy. I get overwhelmed like the responsibly is kinda daunting when I feel like I'm not appreciated for what I do.

I keep telling myself the kids are young and someday they will be able to help and clean up after themselves. I so want independent kids so they learn to take care of themselves (cough cough)not like my hubby. Sorry Hun, but you would be living in a pig pen if it wasn't for me. Some day I will have that and I'll keep harping on my kids to do things for themselves and one day I'll be like surprised I don't have to do everything around my house. I'll have well efficient kids. If that ever happened then it's all worth the struggle today. Take care, Peace!!
