Totally. If you do 30 minutes outside while CP does the inside, then you've only spent 30 minutes. And, your place would constantly look awesome with not much effort.

Ken and I always try to do the cleaning simultaneously so it technically eats only half of the total time.

I would totally love to have someone come over and clean for a half hour every night (or day: I'm flexible)

Now that I've calmed down I can post this here without being overwhelmed with bile.

I value my time at approximately $40/hour. Therefore I can't afford myself for housework.

That said, I can't quite stomach embracing my position in the oppressor class by paying someone else to clean up after me.

Therefore, since clean messiness (as opposed to dirty messiness) doesn't bother me much I am content with the status quo.

I should really join this club. The house is messy... always. The kids do chores but not to the extent I want them clean. (i.e. wiping down counters with an icky sponge is not what I had in mind.)

Think of it as a jobs program. Think of it as spending, not saving, as Pres. Obama has asked us to do. Does that help?

I live in a two against one arrangement; I clean the place and the two short people trash it. The pets contribute to the mess. I never get off the hamster wheel.

Not really. I think I am constitutionally incapable of hiring a house cleaner.

That's part of why I rarely let housekeeping clean my hotel room while I'm still staying there.

Think of it as what God, Our Lord in Heaven wants you to do.

Does that help?

It might, considering what a Righteous man Alex is.

Sure, you can pick any of the 256 tasks we have available.

Gardening totally counts.

Ok, let's get this ball rolling. Tonight, I intend to COMPLETE the filing. Yes, COMPLETE. We pulled the file box out and got rid of all the useless crap, did so much shredding we killed our new shredder (lesson being, don't buy a cheap shredder) but have yet to truly implement a new system. My new car forms need to go somewhere.

Hear my organizational battle cry: IMPLEMENT!!
