Whiskey Wednesday 4/25/07


So, tomorrow is my Thursday Thirteen and I'm going to rant about the thirteen things I'm going to do tomorrow.
It's all about exercises in futility. I'm a stay at home mom, a writer and I work every couple of months as a secretary. I have TONS of exercises in futility.
Things like dishes, laundry, learning my job at the office--only to forget everything I've learned in the two months I'm back at my other jobs. How about some of the promotion I've done. Crying in the wilderness, I've found that I'm swimming upstream in a VERY large river. So much of my life is spent doing things that are undone in seconds.
Getting spiritual satisfaction from cleaning up dog poop and picking up dirty clothes is a little challenging. I remember my Al-Anon sponsor used to tell me that if I couldn't without resentment, don't do it. Why doesn't that apply to housework? I'm a lousy housekeeper folks. I'm not talking about the dust on my bookshelves. I'm talking about the dishes that sit all day and the clean laundry that piles up in my overstuffed chair. Thank God it's overstuffed.
Is that more than you wanted to know about me? Yeah, I know. I'm lucky that my hubby isn't too concerned about my lack of cleaning skills.
So come back tomorrow to see my list of Exercises in Futility. I'm sure SOME of you can relate.
