Muzing on what I’d rather be doing than cleaning house?

The intoxicating smell of ammonia in the air. The feel of steel wool rubbing hard against my fingertips.

I love cleaning.

<<< KABOOM >>>

That was a lightning bolt from highest heaven striking me down.

Inspired by Stasha’s Monday Listicles “10 things I would rather be doing then cleaning the house” ~ I came up with:

10. Paying someone to clean my house.

I used to do that. But that line item in the family budget was scratched. Poo.

9.  Going to therapy to sob and blow my nose all the while talking to a sympathetic pair of brown eyes and  nodding head about the utter futility of cleaning house.

8.  Buying cleaning products.

For someone else to clean for me.

7. Researching Time Travel.

To go back in time to find someone who would be thrilled to clean my house for 50 cents per hour.

6. Running a marathon in whiteout conditions.

5.  Buying a really cool, incredibly flattering outfit to clean house in.

4.  Having a spa day to rest up for house cleaning.

3.  Looking online for a four bedroom, four bath house to buy ~ so I wouldn’t have to clean this one.

2.  Doing a research paper on all the people who died from accidental ammonia asphyxiation.

1.  Sleep. Which is what I’m now going to do instead of cleaning this kitchen.

What would you rather do instead of clean?
