endless

Becky and I were wondering today...

... how can our tiny house hold limitless items to be cleaned? Everyday we:

  • wash dishes in the dishwasher
  • wash dishes by hand
  • wash clothes
  • dry clothes
  • fold clothes

and it never ends. it seems like there are time we get ahead, when at the end of the day there aren't as many things to wash and hope that there won't be anything tomorrow. However, there apprears to be some sort of dirty-ness tooth fairy, but instead of leaving shiny change under your pillow (or bills considering inflation) the magical sprite takes your clean clothes and dishes and leaves dirty ones in their place.

I know I'm an adult and responsibilities like this come with the territory, there are plenty of chores that we both do regularly that we complete even though we don't want to do them. But the dishes and clothes are relentless... demanding... exhausting.

Is it just us? or do these tasks own your home too?

I KNOW! And we only have one child! I don't understand how one 16 month old little boy can cause our house to be SO out of order. Sippy cups, clothes, toys . . . crumbs EVERYWHERE! I feel like we're always cleaning.
