Do you think that if Adam had not sinned, that Eve would have had to clean the Garden of Eden?
I absolutely loathe house cleaning! I clean, it gets messy again, I clean again, and once again it gets messy. I try to keep things picked up, but dust still accumalates, cats still shed fur, and toilets... well, don't even get me started on the water rings!
I know that the Lord blessed me with a house. I should be thankful that I have a house to clean... but I still struggle. What is wrong with me?
Today, I was at the grocery store with my mother-in-law, and I came across a book (in the deli section...what's that about?) that was titled "Grab a broom, Lord, there's dust everywhere" Scanning through it, I realized that it was not a book about women who don't like to clean, but instead, over-acheiving women that juggle career, family and household and obsess over not being able to tackle everything...
Needless to say, DOESN'T APPLY TO ME! I seem to have all the time in the world (outside of my 15 hour work week) and yet, I struggle. I have tried a schedule, but I don't have the conviction to stick to it... I really need help from the Lord on this one!
I know I am not alone in feeling this way, I have a good friend that says she struggles with the same thing. But, I wish I could overcome it. Please pray for me, that the Lord will give me a heart to clean! :)

It could be worse you could have a situation where "dust still accumalates, cats still shed fur, and toilets" AND Gary B. haha.
On the other hand, you are down to a 15 hour work week? When did this happen?
Ha Ha, that's true...you've definitely got me in that category! LOL
As for the work week. I mis-calculated... I am working about 16hours. The job with the other realtor stopped back when I had the flu. Something happened to him that made him decide to de-activate his real estate license. I told him that was better for me anyways, as I was not sure if I would be working any longer myself (back before we talked to Bro. Buddy). It's actually better this way, I do have more time to devote to "trying" to keep the house clean. And more time for Blogging, too:)
oh girl, I LOVE cleaning! Of course- it could be because I do it when I'm putting off studying.
I'll be praying for you, but I need your prayers about this too. Hopefully, I'll have a few more hours to devote to these tasks after next weekend when I end the second job, but I feel I need many more hours. Maybe it has to do with that procrastination...
I'm with ya. I think of cleaning in terms of which task I disklike the least. Which would be vacuuming. Dusting is my least favorite.
Looks like we all need to pray for each other. ;-)
