However, every now and then he has a kick of inspiration and starts cleaning something like Sunday he cleaned Miss E's windows. His department is telling the kids what to do after he comes home from work. Because sometimes I just need a break. He does too but he's says he's happy with that. I am too. But I do wish he could be in charge of just a couple of jobs like trash and toilet cleaning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586474797885291123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-22531604470344785152013-06-26T19:42:08.733+08:002013-06-26T19:42:08.733+08:00I'm a hopeless cleaner - both from lack of tim...I'm a hopeless cleaner - both from lack of time and lack of interest!

Pregnancy is a very handy excuse for getting out of housework! Dave does quite a bit actually, he does all the cooking, we share the cleaning of the kitchen, he does all the washing (because our laundry is in the feral garage an I refuse to go out there because of the bugs!) and I do most of the other indoor cleaning like vacuuming and sweeping, etc. And then Dave does the outside stuff, ie. mowing and bug eradication!Kylie Purtellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185153539010825877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-16035378645697542512013-06-25T08:48:28.195+08:002013-06-25T08:48:28.195+08:00I hate cleaning.
