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?
Sleep, yes sleep. It always wins for me.
(Did I really just admit that?!)
So very cleverly done, friend!
Ha ha… I love this list! I wish I could afford to pay someone to clean my house, too.
Yes indeed. I believe there have been many reported and even more swooped under the rug cases of ammonia asphyxiation! Thank you for bringing up this very important and little known fact. I am off to sleep too.
I love your listicles. LOVE!
Hee hee! Love your list! And I’m sorry about the lightening strike…hope you’re better soon from that. Another reason not to clean the house, I suppose. 🙂
I like your idea of a spa day. Sounds brilliant. 🙂
I had to laugh at and agree with #3 — I live in a (too old and decrepit) house and one of my recurring dreams is to close the door and walk away. 🙂
Awesome! #2 made me laugh!
Great list! I especially loved 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. lol. 🙂
Ha ha ha! Buy another house! You should use the time travel to live in the future with a Jetson house that cleans itself!
Spa day is the perfectidea. Pre-cleaning. Post-cleaning. Mid-cleaning. Whatever time, I love a good pampering session!
