Housewife list of dread

I have a repeating theme on this blog. How my house is a pigsty and I have no help to clean it. I have been a neat freak since I was in middle school. My room was spotless. I would re arrange the livingroom furniture. My apartments were always clean except for our bedroom that became a catch-all. I should have seen the signs. Fred is a slob. He is a lazy slob when it comes to housework. Now, dont get me wrong...I love him to bits and he helps me as much as he can now that he will working two jobs. I just miss the help that I am not getting anymore. The girls..well you know about them. Natalie is getting better. I came downstairs to a completely cleaned livingroom. She is growing as a person. :)
I have ailments and fatigue and fatness. There is only so much I can do. And if I feel good today and get a ton of shit done, I am going to be bed bound the next two days because I over did it. I see the cobwebs. I see the dust bunnies. It hurts me but I cannot do everything. But I wanted to show you a list of things that NEED to be done but havent been lately.

*I am not even mentioning all the real things that need to be done like new walkway, new gutters, new fascia boards, and the wall that needs to be fixed out front. Those cost money and I aint got it.*

I purposely did not mention the girls rooms because those arent my bag. The only thing that I will do in their rooms is clean the windows and hang the plastic on the windows for winter. If they want to live in a pig pen, that is on them.

Does that look like a lot of shit to do? I do! I could do the livingroom, diningroom, and most of the kitchen in one day. That includes cooking dinner. Then I am exhausted. By the time I catch steam again, those three rooms are a mess again. So I never get to the other shit on the list. See what I am saying? I have no REAL help and I cannot afford a maid service. So I struggle with the work, avoid it when I feel like shit, and I am embarrassed of my home.
That is it in a nutshell.

I would want a sexy man servant anyway. hehehe
