Especially this semester. Okay.... putting away clean dishes. Folding and putting clothes away. Any color. Can I throw homework in here? It's not a household chore, but, well, you know... oh I refuse to make the bed. That's right. I said it. Why should I make it if I'm gonna crawl right back in it? That one not irrational, if you ask me. :) But if the door bell rings you better believe I can make that bed in about 30 seconds!! lol!! Yes, I have issues.

Here in Japan we have neither...poor me...somebody play a violin for me...<BR/><BR/>And don't get me started on minuscule kitchens...my hubby and I can hardly both fit in ours.

How come it seems like there's the lonesome sock every time you get them out of the dryer?? Where in the world did that other sock go? I've come to the conclusion that the dryer eats them for some tasty treat.<BR/><BR/>Well, I would have to say my IHC is opening my dishwasher and seeing every cup with a little puddle of water on the top of it (or should I say bottom of it since it's upside down!). I think it's so pointless to have even put it through the drying cycle if you have to get a towel a dry them again before putting them away. UG!

Do we really have enough comment space here to leave all of our IHC's behind?<BR/><BR/>Mine are definitely:<BR/><BR/>Ironing clothes. Don't like it. Don't do it.<BR/><BR/>Folding clothes. This means socks, undies and hanging up all the other stuff. Yuck. yuck.<BR/><BR/>Making beds. Ugh! I only do it when I have to, but I detest it and wish it didn't have to be done at any time. All those corners, those sheets to tuck and fold over so nicely. All the fluffy pillows. Blah. Blah. Blah.<BR/><BR/>Yeah. I need a maid. Let's all go in together and give each other a maid once a month. We will rotate. :-)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12687630702580015610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379952519282950853.post-38832257438034850332008-04-05T14:29:00.000-05:002008-04-05T14:29:00.000-05:00New to your blog.

I know someday I will miss the little white socks in my laundry, or maybe not. I prefer barefeet anyway. As for the peeling of apples, I have a gadget that peels and slices all in one move. Or it will just peel or just slice. The kids love to do it, you just turn a handle. You must purchase one.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056806926788520834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379952519282950853.post-89723915667735886412008-04-04T06:10:00.000-05:002008-04-04T06:10:00.000-05:00Laundry and Ironing.
