OK, so I have this conversation often, but Laziness usually wins. I fight off Ms. Productive with the "the kids are just going to make a mess of it in a few minutes anyway, so I'll wait until they go to bed and then do it". Of course, then they go to bed, and I still don't do it, but that is beside the point, right.
OH jeesh, did you happen to go into my head and hear that conversation between Lazy and Cleany about vacuuming and not vacuuming today? Because they bickered all day about that.
We bargained with Cleany that we will do it tomorrow AND wash the car. That shut Cleany up for the day but I can hear her grumbling in there....
Ok, I think we should get marrried. I'll go to work and you can be the housewife.
Dayum, girl! You're awesome! Right now, my idea of domestic responsibilities is decorating for fall. PJ says that my sparkling pumpkins aren't what the Pilgrims had in mind and eating fall colored M&M's don't count. Whatever!
Ok, that second last sentence is effed up. Sorry about that. My grammer must be turned off today.
If you come to my house we can re-enact this whole drama in person. I'll play the part of the lazy.
Christie: Personally, I think it's ok to let the laziness win when you're chasing kids around all day... You'd make yourself nuts trying to keep the place spotless all the time while chasing small children. I'm single, no kids, and no hint of any changes on the horizon as far as significant other or kids go. I have no demands on my time other than work... Which is why part of me feels totally pathetic, and part of me is all proud because my home and auto are ready for a full photo spread in Better Homes and Gardens.
Elaine: No, I didn't stumble into your head to hear the bickering between lazy and cleany... There's plenty of bickering going on in the friendly confines of my own skull that I don't feel the need to seek it out elsewhere... The fact that I acknowledge that there is bickering in my head might make me totally crazy, but hey, at least I own it... I totally get credit for owning my crazy, RIGHT?
Summer: I'm pretty sure that even though there's a chance that PJ might enjoy the thought of it, you and I getting married is still illegal... At least in both of the states where we reside. (I'm not moving to New Hampshire... Boston maybe, but not New Hampshire.) Oh, and fall colored M&Ms and sparkly pumpkins TOTALLY count! You think if they had had the technology and the resources to make M&Ms and sparkly pumpkins back then that those pilgrims wouldn't have been all up on it? I think we'd just have a much more ample supply of antique sparkly pumpkins in museums... We can't be penalized for their lack of ingenuity and resources!
Brenda: That's fine, but only because I know that the cleaner forces the lazy to work anyway... The lazy is a whiner about it, but the cleaner doesn't relent... Like I said, she ALWAYS wins, it's just a matter of time. I might let you loaf around for a little bit, but you pay for it in spades later!
I ran it by PJ and you're right...he says we should get married. He's always wanted to be the next 'Big Love' family. He's such an ass! (P.S. You're going to be the wife that cleans, ok?)
