Homemaker of the year!

Can we talk about my faults?

thanks

I'll feel better if I do.

I consider myself to be a fairly neat, organized and tidy kind of person.

I mean, I'll never end up on an episode of "Hoarders, Buried Alive"

But I'm not a great housekeeper

only just adequate.

And, honestly, when Frank's out of town

I'm much worse!

But overall, on most days, I could have someone over with short notice and not be mortified.

But there is one thing I am terrible at.

Really terrible.

Dusting

I have always hated dusting.

Whenever my mom would ask me to dust on Saturday morning

(cleaning day)

I was always bummed out.

I'd much rather do just about any other job than dusting.

It is still true.

It feels like something that just never ever is finished.

I know that's true for all housework

but it feels more true for dusting!

Laundry-you get to wear the clothes

Bathrooms-who doesn't love a clean bathroom or mirror?

Vacuuming-those lines in the carpet just make me happy

Dishes-clean stuff sitting in the cupboard ready for use!

Dusting-you get a surface that you may or may not ever notice that is, for a minute, free of dust.

But I swear, it's only a minute!

The stuff settles right back down where it was

(and I don't care what dusting method I used)

It's just in the air!

Here is a little peak at my problem
I'm sorry to gross you out, but really, it'll help you.

You'll either look around your house and see that you have a problem too
(and knowing is the first step they say)
or you'll feel better about yourself because you are a better housekeeper than I am.

You're welcome

If you aren't grossed out by these pictures
then you really have a problem
and I cannot help you.
Dusting is not my thing!

TV cabinet
(black furniture is a bane!)

Hey, this one doesn't look that bad in the picture!

I'll take it

Seriously.

I need an intervention.

or a maid

It's the black furniture, isn't it?

Not me
