I'd like some help around here.
I'm sure you would too!
Most people can't afford to hire someone to come in weekly (or more) and help with the harder cleaning. I know I can't.
If you can though, that is great! Enjoy it!
I think being able to hire someone to come in to help with cleaning is a wonderful thing. It not only benefits you and your family, it helps the economy. (Win, win!)
But for those of who can't afford it, we would do very well to remember all the help we actually do have. We live in a wonderful age of technology.
We live in the age of washers and dryers, dishwashers, electric cookstoves, microwaves, crock pots, vacuum cleaners, automobiles, furnaces, air conditioners, etc.
All of these wonderful inventions actually help us do our work and help us to enjoy life. Just a hundred years or so ago and probably less, most if not all of these things didn't exist and if they did they couldn't be afforded by the common person.
If we had to do all the actual labor associated with daily life like they had to in days gone by we would think our current lives a constant state of luxury.
For example, actually washing clothes by hand and hanging them to dry. What about actually standing over the stove for every single meal, chopping and preparing by hand, taking rugs out and actually beating them, hitching up the horses to go or actually walking to town, bringing in wood (not to mention chopping, stacking, etc.) for heat and having to endure the heat in the summer if you didn't have a fan or other means of cooling off.
We really have most of the help we need, so chin up.
These things won't last forever and when we have reached our golden years we will look back and know we didn't have it so badly.
But, while we are down here in the trenches, just try to keep on keepin' on.
Cleaning assignment for today is clean out and organize the cabinets or closet in the laundry/utility room.
