I have a slight problem with never putting anything away and a total aversion to this thing we call doing the dishes. When I was a young girl and it was time to clean my room, I used to play a sort of game where I would imagine I was Cinderella, forced to do these chores until my fairy godmother came and turned pumpkins into chariots or something.
Playing the role of the poor princess turned cleaning into a performance, and took my mind off the drudgery of putting clothes back into my closet, cleaning the tub, doing laundry etc. Now of course, there are more rooms to keep clean, and less time to clean them…but how fun (or at least more fun) would it be to put on Nancy Sinatra and prance around the house in these cupcake gloves and matching cupcake apron? Or put on some Patsy Cline and don a polka dot sweetheart apron? If I can’t convince the birds and the mice to do my chores for me, this may be the next best thing…
