IS IT just me or do all women get tarred with the same brush? .... When the house is untidy, is it the male or female of the species that gets the bad press? I always tend to lay the blame at my own door.....
Work for me is always a busy place and there's always something ready to wing its way over to land on my desk. But being busy is good. Treading water isn't ... 'specially when you get home after a hard days' work to an absolute bombsite.
Each night this week, I've got home and sighed to myself at the thought of having to start the day all over again ... this time in my role as mother/cleaner/washer/ironer/moaner/ social organiser.
Any unexpected visitors send me spiralling into a cringetastic sort of state when the place is a pigsty. Countless trips 'to the loo' armed with a can of Mr Sheen and a fluffy duster pay dividends though as I take on an undercover janitor's role gliding my way around the gaff totally unnoticed. Unnecessary, I know, but it makes me feel better in the slob stakes.
What is it about men? They leave empty plates in the fridge, the cereal box out on the worktop, clean crockery in the dishwasher and even more annoying, they walk past things on the stairs that need taking up and putting away.
At home I am a solitary woman with the men-odds all stacked up against me. But it was an absolute delight to see them last night .... my little discrete sigh was taken on board and resulted in Son Number One with the hoover, Son Number Two on the polish and Husband on the jaycloth! Sighing has never been more fruitful!
