"But housekeeping is fun, and I think the women who hate it lack imagination. It is one job where you enjoy the results right along as you work. You may work all day washing and ironing, but at night you have the delicious feeling of sunny clean sheets and airy pillows to lie on. If you clean, you sit down at nightfall with the house shining and faintly smelling of wax, all yours to enjoy right then and there. And if you cook--ah, if you cook--that creation you lift from the oven goes right to the table."

I love to clean and cook also. It gives me a great feeling of satifaction that I have accomplished something for my family. I love seeing things go from dirty, scattered, unkept to sparkling and neat and the smell of homecooking is just the ice cream on the top. Thanks for allowing me to comment. connie from Texas

Mar. 29, 2007 - I love to vacuum

Posted by HarmonyArtMom

I sound like I am making a confession but I really do love to vacuum. I love to hang my laundry out in the sun to dry. I love to see a clean desk top. I love it when the kitchen is sparkling clean.

I know that it is worth the effort to do housework because of the satisfaction that it brings.

Thanks for the quote and blog entry,
