and so do I! Who else hates dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning out the fridge and oven and all the other things involved with cleaning house?

13. I occasionally rouse myself into a short fit of tidiness
but then fall straight back to my old habits. :cry:

...want to consider a boy-toy. Just let him know what you expect of him with respect to cleaning duties, that is, if he wants to have a roof over his head...;-)

15. Alas, MissHoneychurch, I am another's boy-toy.....
...she is eight years my senior. Therefore, I feel fully qualified to give you advice. Find a young guy, younger than you, and show him the world. He'll love you for it, and you'll have a clean house....:D

11. you know that is the description of your apartment
after really cleaning up. But it never holds for long. There must be a ghost or something that just undoes all the effort you put in, no matter what :)

20. Howdy, my name is LW
I have problems keeping my house tidy as well. I think I've discovered the reason: midnight visitors.

Hey, Mr. Spaceman, by the Byrds

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right

{Refrain}
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, so long, we'll see you again

27. Ich habe schon alles (den Papierkrieg) gemacht, das ich machen muß
so... heute meine Schüler und ich werden für die Prüfung studieren, die sie morgen schreiben müssen. Morgen muß ich nur die Schüler beobachten als sie die Prüfung schreiben.

Eine Schülerin von mir hat mir einen Gnom als Geschenk gegeben. :)

Nur ein typischer Tag im Leben eines Lehrers.

28. Ich habe Prüfungen gehaßt
ich bin wirklich froh, das hinter mir zu haben.

Im Moment katalogisiere ich Bücher, die Goethes Vater gehört haben. Macht mir viel Spaß, so alte Bücher in den Händen zu halten. Bücher aus dem 17. und 18. Jahrhundert. Manchmal sogar noch ältere.

23. I've been doing a better job with cleaning since I moved...
but I'm still not perfect. My jeans are sitting on the floor in front of my bathroom as I type. :cry: I'm such a slob!

24. I know what you mean
I got better over the years but am definitely not the perfect housewife. I live by myself so no one else but me is bothered by my mess. It can be a bliss but also a curse.

26. My SO is better at cleaning up than I am
but he's been working a lot lately and can't keep up with it by himself. We made a rule not to smoke in the house and it's amazing how much that has cut down on the dust!

33. true, so true
we have a saying in Germany "Alles für die Katz'" which literally means "Everthing for the cat" but should be translated as "everything for nothing"

I think that says it all ... LOL
