Day 20: When A Day Off Is Not Really A Day Off
19 Nov 2008
So I’ve got the day off work today - well paid work that is - Instead of working for money, I’m doing twice as much and working twice as hard for free - Yep that damn housework thing.
Really I don’t know why I think I have a day off. Having spent the last hour or so scrubbing floors I know where I’d rather be - and that’s not home. I have so much to do - the washing, vacuuming and all the rest that it’s mind boggling how things can build up so quickly. I wash nearly every day, I vacuum reasonably regularly, and I clean something every day, so I have to wonder why it seems like there is so much to do.
And all that housework crap is getting done in between the telemarketers calls (how did they know I’d be home today?) and yes playing around on this computer. My damn kids got me hooked on a couple of myspace and facebook applications so I have to keep checking them (and making sure I’m ahead of the kids)
And to top it all off I have an online training course I have to find time to do between now and next week. I really should be doing it all today cause the weekend is going to be busy (Full day state team try outs for one of the kids) and I’m generally too tired etc to do it in the evenings. I just can’t be bothered.
