Here I sit when I have about 4 other things I should be doing. Is that procrastination or what? Why are all the things we "have" to do not things we enjoy? Why can't all those chores be fun things instead of mind numbing, boredom inducing, acts of sheer hell?!
What? Did you say attitude? You mean if I change my attitude it will change how boring those chores are? Ya right! You can't fool me no matter how many books you've sold or how many people endorse your program. I know what I know and chores are boring, nothing can change that.
But chores can be shared with others like those kids who are mine and my husband's and live in my house. They help make the mess and they should help clean it up. Plus learning to do chores and clean, cook and do laundry is all necessary for them to learn. It's my job as a parent to teach my kids to be self sufficient and I'd be deficient in my duty as a parent if I didn't teach them these things. My kids do chores but it's time to get them to do more. I'll share the mind numbing, boredom inducing chores and spread the joy around. LOL!
And that is what I call a Ha! moment.
