Can I go on strike - I dont want to clean

I want to be a bum. I've done just a little during the week but I really do need to clean out the fridge, both bathrooms, the kitchen, living room, dust, vacuum and sweep the lanai.

I just want to lay in the hammock and drink pina colada's

I think a strike is in order -- rev up the blender!!

Re: Can I go on strike - I dont want to clean

Drink up!! Life is too short to worry about cleaning. ENJOY the beautiful day and clean some other day

Here is my inspiration from the great Erma Bombeck about living life

If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."

There would have been more "I love you's".. More "I'm sorrys" ...

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it ... live it...and never give it back.

That is really pretty. Thanks for posting.

I've been sitting outside just relaxing. It's starting to get a little dark and I hear thunder. I think if it starts to rain I am just going to bring my happy arse inside and lounge around all day until DH gets home
