For the mothers out there, and of course the dads also, perhaps there is lighter side to the boring chore called housework. Well the truth is it never goes away; it is created in every move we make in our environment.

Every step a person takes tends to require something to be fixed, cleaned, or sorted. Housework is not an option it is a necessary part of living.

Unless you have the money for a housekeeper, you need to find a strategic plan to keep things in order. We make a mess just eating, we are only human, this is why God created kitchens.

The sun is up and one coffee down and my eyes are looking around. Although I like a nice clean house, I still do not like that horrid word. Dreaded housework never seems to end, the upkeep of our living end.

Seems dishes really love my sink and toilets always love to stink. The pet hair on my carpet always seems fresh, unlike my vacuum cleaner bag mess.

I hang those sheets upon my line and sometimes they must stay out all night. Sheets just do not seem to like clotheslines after dark, those rotten bats just never seem to miss their mark.

Wish someone else could clean the fridge or just the spill from non-fit lids. Just never seems to be enough hours in the day, imagine a dishwasher that emptied itself, or a magic invention that even found the shelves.

Imagine a house that was self-cleaning and cars that drive by themselves.

God forbid we may spend more time enjoying the meaning of LIVE! Dog washers, plate scrapers, window cleaners, and the like we should all make a pledge to live and let live. Housework should not be the drudge that it is.

Maybe we could have a National day called "No Housework Day" So people could have a say and march and throw a tea towel away. To the tip or burn the dam things and I am sure satisfaction it will bring. Just once a year of having a little rebellion against cleaning could even prove to be very healing.

All you housewives out there that love cooking, but hate cleaning if you can't find a housewives club to voice your opinion just make your second cup of tea or coffee and put your feet up in front of the television.

Even just a ten-minute break after throwing a tea towel on the floor may just saved your sanity. Of course if that just doesn't feel good enough, you can always try jumping on the tea towel, or better still, turn the volume up on your CD player or radio and dance all over the room waving your tea towel and then throwing it down on the floor.

Lighten up it is never as bad as it seems, if you lucky one day you may have a house cleaner. I guess it will never go away, unless of course you can afford that house cleaner one day.
