Dishes as Therapy

And who wouldn't want to do DISHES with backsplash tile that's as cute as those hand-painted-from-England tiles?!

I've always always always considered hot sudsy water to be really 'therapeutic' - now if I could just get as into the Zen of, say, scrubbing floors, we'd be in terrific shape.

Here's to YOUR therapeutic household chores, whatever they might be -- care to share? POST A COMMENT (puh-leez, post a comment ... sometimes I think - no, I KNOW - that Ann is my most loyal and just-about-only faithful blog reader - LOVE YOU, Ann !! and heck, she HAS to read my blog, 'cause she STARTED me on this venture :-)!)

Anyway - tell me YOUR fave task. I thank you for caring enough to share.

Housework can be SO Overwhelming

Honestly, is there anyone who can truly say they "adore" housework? I didn't think so. Some may enjoy the feeling of satisfaction after it's done, they can appreciate "a job well done". But does ANYONE really LOVE the cleaning itself? That's what I thought.

For all of us who really are ALLERGIC TO HOUSEWORK (myself included), I decided to get REEEEEAAAALLLLY honest and post a photo of just one corner of my desk at home. Yes, that's right: I try to sit at THIS MESSY DESK, surrounded by more piles that look very much like THIS one, and I try to be - clever, creative, communicative, productive.

And it's not just about CLEANLINESS - in my case, it's about SLOPPINESS. MESSINESS. CLUTTEREDNESS. Basically, our home is clean. It's just MESSY. Yikes!

It does not make any good sense. Does it? Really, how can I be free to create and produce, when I am totally overwhelmed by - my messy ways?

SO back to committing (again!) to HOME AS MY HOBBY. It's like I need a 12-step program for perpetual MESSY-MONGERS or something. Aaaarrggghhhh!

This will improve - I'll show you. Really, I will.
