My House Would Be Cleaner If I Wasn’t So Lazy

by Elizabeth on April 26, 2009

Parent Bloggers Network is doing a blog blast this weekend about housecleaning.  I wish I had a snappy post for you with a chore chart and a cleaning schedule and great tips for managing those daily chores and the weekly ones or whatever, but here’s the truth:

I Am A Lazy Slob

I like having my house be clean, don’t get me wrong. I don’t actually enjoy looking down my laminate floor hallway and seeing dust bunnies and bits of god knows what, it’s just that I’m too lazy to DO anything about it.

And now that I’ve read a few of the other posts that PBN bloggers are doing on this topic, I have found my sisterhood. Heather, Jenny, please teach me the secret handshake and send me the t-shirt, cuz I also have a husband who does the dishes and the laundry after work (even though I’ve been home all day and have no good reason not to have done them myself except for being LAZY).

This blog blast is sponsored by Pledge Multi-Surface cleaning spray, but because I didn’t get the post emailed to PBN on time, I won’t be getting a free can of it in exchange for writing this post. I might win a $250 VISA card that they are giving to someone at random, so yay!

I’m also totally bummed, because Pledge has this website called How I Clean Now and there’s a video message from Trish Suhr of The Style Network’s Clean House. AND, it says five BLOGGERS are getting cleaning interventions from Trish! I LOVE TRISH.

And, in what must be the definition of irony, I LOVE Clean House. I love it so much that my oldest son, who gets up early for school and watches a little TV, RECORDS Clean House for me at 6 AM! I don’t like
to clean, but I sure like watching other people do it!

So anyway, click that link up there for How I Clean Now to print out a $2 coupon for Pledge Multi-Surface, and visit Parent Bloggers Network for links to more housecleaning (or lack thereof) posts.

I’m pretty lazy myself – my problem though is that I’m a single momma so there is no one to come home and clean up after me…darn…

I love the title of this post. That is me, in a nutshell.

Mom Time April 27, 2009 at 11:53 am

I grew up on a house that’s being cleaned by a maid every single day. It’s squeeky clean from the inside out because my mom is such a neat freak. When I migrated here, I couldn’t afford a maid so I tried cleaning the house every weekend which I can’t keep up because I ended up dead tired, and cranky.

It’s just not worth living on a sparkling clean house but grumpy with exhaustion. So until I can afford to hire a maid to clean everyday, cleaning would just have to be done WHENEVER I feel like it. I think my hubby and kids would appreciate more a loving and fun mom, than a clean house with a grumpy mom, lol!

Gotta tell ya….

I totally can’t stand clutter – more than filthy house. Cob webs,some dusting, washing the floor – it all can be done.
BUT, clutter? I noticed it messes up with your life, too. It’s interesting to see a cluttered up house and then meet the one who live in it. A lot of times, after listening to them,one you can see their lives are as cluttered as their home.

Less Clutter – Simpler Lives – Better Life.

Great read. I wish I could write better. I can barely write a shopping list.

I definitely have never been a fan of house cleaning and other chores however; disorganized clutter absolutely makes me nuts!

My saving grace has been my IPOD. When I put those headphones on I instantly get into my own world and get moving. House cleaning is no longer a chore and becomes an experience,

a ride down memory lane!

Next thing I know, the place is clean!

Definitely a win win!!

My house is always a wreck, too. But, given a choice between cleaning up and running outside to jump on the tramponline with my kids, the trampoline always wins. Always!

I clean the house once in a blue moon. Thankfully, my husband cleans at least twice a week. So… where’s the t-shirt? :)

Unfortunately I’m far too lazy about the housework as well. My dream is to one day be able to afford a cleaner, but I don’t think that will be happening any time soon!

Ever since I became pregnant I have become obsessed with cleaning the house. We bought a lot of nursery decoration from http://www.ourbabynursery.com but my husband won’t set it all up yet because he thinks that I’ll be in there every day with the cleaning gear!
