I hate cleaning. I've gotten spoiled over the past few years because we've had a cleaning lady come in every other week or so to do most of the cleaning in the house. All I've had to do is deal with the bird room and the basic wiping down of the counters, the dishes, and that kind of stuff. Due to The Painting Project That Just Won't End, however, I haven't had her come in over a month though, so things were really starting to get funky. It was time to take things into my own hands. So, I've spent the morning cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. I scrubbed the stove top, the counters, the kitchen floor, the bathroom sink, the toilet, and the bathroom floor. The only thing I didn't do was the tub. I'll deal with that later or tomorrow. It wasn't as awful as I expected it to be but I still will happily pay someone to do this stuff for me.

I do things in "shifts". Which simply means I attend to one thing while doing another. If I am going to refill my water bottle, I'll stop and wipe down the counters, fill the dishwasher or unload it. Things like sweeping get done in much the same way. I might do a spot sweep while I'm waiting for water to boil for my tea. I hate having to do the real thorough job though. Moving the table, chairs etc.

That's what I was doing--the thorough job. The other stuff I do all day long as I go about my day.

@NJChicaa I am the only one here who seems to think a "thorough job" needs to be done, which leaves me the only one doing it. If I could, I would hire a service.

That's how I tend to spend the day! I try to get big things done early morning or before bed. That way if all floors are wet/ drying no one trips, etc. Its also much cooler!

My husband doesn't feel well and has been in bed all day so I've been stuck home with nothing to do. It kept me busy for awhile.

I don't mind cleaning. But I never achieve the gleaming polished clean that my sisters in law do. So, I feel frustrated.

I never do either but that is because I live in an older house.

I find cleaning house easy work, I refuse to pay someone unless I`m sick. I don`t trust many rambling in my house either.

There's nothing here interesting enough to steal.

I hate cleaning too but I can't afford paying someone to do that for me.
