If given the choice of any one thing that you would have someone else do around the house for you, what would it be? For me, the shopping and cooking. I can't seem EVER to get this on a schedule or organized.

Oh Heather! Does it really have to be just one thing?? I'm not so sure I can choose between them. I hate to dust as it makes me sneeze and cough, sometimes I can talk hubby into doing it for me. I absolutely dislike having to go to the grocery store, but hubby also dislikes it so I get the job. There is more, but I guess the dusting would have to be it. :)

For me it would be swapping seasonal clothes in the closets and getting them organized. I always intend to downsize on clothes and shoes, but.........something comes over me and I can't seem to get rid of anything. Then at the end of the season I think--"I didn't wear that again this year---I should get rid of it---I will next year!!!" A never ending cycle.

Before I got my dishwasher not too long ago it would have to be doing the dishes! Oh how I hated to do dishes, especially after family dinners. But now I am a HAPPY woman!!
Now it would have to be organization. I have stuff piled quite a few places now and would love to have someone help me get organized. Any takers?? |

Well, let's just say one big category of "cleaning". Actually, I guess if I had to break it down it would have to be the picking up part. I can NEVER seem to get that done and if that's not done I never get on with the rest of the cleaning routine. So, yes, let's fantasize about this house magically putting everything away!

Well with 7 people in the home and 4 of them teens I'd just love them to pick up after themselves it would make all the other cleaning alot easier!

If someone would just clean for me than I could do all those fun things..like sewing and scrapping and reading...but then I would have nothing to do when I get mad... watch out when this farmgirl gets mad the house shines like a diamond or cz!!!!

Marcy, I clean when I'm mad too. Sometimes I wonder if dh picks a fight just so I'll do more work.
To be fair, I'd say the dishes, with or without the dishwasher, cleaning up after myself, dh and the four boys, three meals a day plus snacks (homeschool, so we get no meal breaks) is a CHORE. I say I have called the dishwashing fairy but she's run off with the laundry fairy, so it's left to me. Thankfully my oldest son, and my hubby do a lot of work but only when I ask OR if it's obvious that momma needs a break. Then it's "you go take a bath, and we'll do such and such". Thankful for the little things righto?

I would have someone do floors. I only have two rooms with carpet and I never feel like the floors look as nice as I would like. (especially the kitchen floor right now with canning going on daily) so yes...floors..I would like a floor lady to come in at the end of each day so I could wake up to shiny clean floors!! That IS a fantasy!!

A clean floor?? Whats that??? I think I have seen one once after I scrubbed and scrubbed when my babies were little, but I turned my back on it and it disappeared??!! Now I settle for swept and big stains wiped up!! Oh the compromises!!!

Washing the kitchen floor! I don't know why but I just HATE doing it. My hubby vaccuums the rest of the house and I sweep the hardwood daily but I hate getting out that mop!
If I could pick another it would be cleaning the shower. I hate that almost as much as the floor.

Vacuum I hate it I don't know why I just do.I really would like to fashion a vacuum with a fork lift thing on the front to pick up the couch and chairs and vacuum under them.
