Dancing Barefoot Around the House

And singing like you know how at the same time... This is my favorite way to get the 'chores' around the house done. Especially laundry, but it works equally well for cooking, cleaning, dusting, and generally straightening up, too. My husband is always amused by the personal shows he gets when I'm cleaning the house with my MP3 player blasting 80s music in my ears. He tells me I'm crazy, but I can't be the only one to dance around the house barefoot and singing as if I know how (okay, maybe the only one that does it to 80s music). Tell me I'm not the only one! Then tell me what you like to listen to for what chores. I'm curious. :)

I was just telling my roommate yesterday that I need a radio for the kitchen. As I am the cook and cleaner upper for the 3 of us, I cannot stand listening to the television shows going on in the living room while I am doing the work. There are bad movies, court shows, etc. that get on my nerves. However, I feel like I should not be the one to have to fork over all of the money for this radio. I feed the roommates, right? I clean up after the roommates, right? What do you think?

I do dancing barefoot under the rain reminising childhood memories and not in the house.I usually do multitasking while doing my household chores. For instance, I sweep the floor while i tried to cook rice.

hello there, i really love dancing and singing too and also listening to music when i am doing something except for when i am reading and studying because when i do, i really need a very quiet environment because i really can not focus when there is noise or even music. well yeah i love oldies music too, i love 90's and also some of the very old songs for ballads. and yes i always have my headphones on

I also love dancing. This is one of my favorite. To the song, any kind of song will do. I can dance with the old songs as well as the new one. I can only sing when doing some household chores but when it comes to dancing, I have to stop first.

I have kids and we are all about enjoying life! Being barefoot reminded me to clean my carpets this week, haha so thanks for that! No really, I love to log on and play music videos and dance with my little ones. It creates a peaceful and positive atmosphere for them and myself. When struggles and stresses seem to weigh me down, i turn to good old fashion and current new released music! i love all types of music and have never been one to listen to a sing just because I like the artist. The song has to have meaning. I love teaching my kids new songs too. We just ordered Kids Bop, as many think it's silly but I like it because it's approperate for their ages. I'm not crazy about 80's music but my best friend is and wants me to be more "invloved" with her interests. So, I will give it my all. This is a positive topic and I would love to see more of this! Thanks for sharing! It made me smile and also reminded me to get my chores done too!

I am like you too. I always love to sing while I do dishes. It helps me to get it done when I am not feeling that good about it. It is also a way that I can praise God while working. Sometimes I don't put music just sing whatever I feel at the time. It isn't that great sounding but I do not think the walls care what it sounds like!

i do the same when i have the energy. i listen to rock from the 60s, 70s and 80s and sing at the top of my lungs. we have a great radio station here where i live that plays that music so i listen to it.
