Random Musings… swimming in housework

There is so much that needs done around here, it never ends.

I suposse it would help if I got more support in the form of actually doing stuff, but it’s rare that any of us do any housecleaning type work on the days we work.  Most days, if anyone does any house work, it’s me.

We need to either all get on the ball about cleaning stuff up, or at least picking up after ourselves (because honestly, there’s no reason why I should have to go through the house and gather laundry, trash, dishes or soda cans, on a daily or even weekly basis).  I’m also ready to strangle the next person who offers the excuse "But I always do it wrong."  Just learn to do it right and everything will be fine.  It doesn’t do me any good to have someone else load the dishwasher wrong so I have to rewash everything, or overload the washing machine so that I have to rebalance it more then once, but honestly, these things aren’t too hard to learn.

It’s just so frustrating that I’m having a hard time keeping motivated… as in, why bother to pick up after myself… no one else does.  Why clean the kitchen, it will be trashed the first time someone cooks / makes something.  Why do any one else’s laundry, they’re not even going to fold it and put it up….  everytime I get someething cleaned, cleared off, or put away, something happens and it gets trashed.
