Are you sick of me yet? ;)

The floor is washed. Sadly, I am not finished. I'm waiting for it to dry so I can wash the baseboards, which are filthy. I will have to wash it again tomorrow. However, the worst is over. The floor no longer looks like the barbarian hordes invaded recently (or conversely, y'know, like four cats and a human who doesn't wash her floors regularly have been living here).

I think the dishes are reproducing secretly without telling me. I keep discovering odds and ends that need washing.

The unreasonable part of me is now saying that I could take "a little nap" while I wait for the floor to dry. Hah. Ha-hah. No. We tried this last night, remember? Going to bed early in order to get up early and do some cleaning. The first part went fine, but the second didn't really happen.

I have learned my lesson, at least temporarily.

I am re-subscribing to FlyLady.net. I'm going to grit my teeth and ignore all the talk about God and the underlying assumption that, as a woman, your role is to be a wife and mother and run a clean household and welcome your husband back from his long hard day at work with well-behaved children, a tidy house, and dinner on the table. Oh, and put out for him when your day is over. If he helps out it's a bonus, but really it's his God-given right to preside over the household without ever lifting a finger to help, even if his wife works as many or more hours as he does.

Maybe I won't re-subscribe after all. ;)

( Updated list of things for tonight/tomorrow morning )

On second thought, maybe I'll wash the baseboards tomorrow evening when I get back from ai731's vernissage. Note to self: do NOT drink too much alcohol afterward. You will already be overtired from tonight, with the prospect of another late night tomorrow and a very early and busy Saturday. Tired!Phnee + alcohol = BAD.

G'night all!
