    What is your least favorite household duty?

    I have just finished changing the sheets and have just realized how much I hate this task. With the mattresses getting thicker and heavier it takes an Arnold Swartenegger (sp?) to lift them to get that bottom sheet on the corners. And oh if you don't have sheets with the deep pockets on the corners forget it! Do you have any household task that you hate?

    Hmmm..prolly taking out the trash. I hate doing it...and it has to be done every week...thankfully, just once.

    As to the changing of the bed linens...it is a herculean task at my house...I have many 'helpers', a duvet cover that must somehow get back onto the duvet, and six feather pillows to stuff in the cases! But, I love the feeling of fresh linens...

    Scrubing the bathtub. ( Luckily, Ralph usually dose this!)

    Vacuuming is up there too, mostly cause I dislike out vacuum cleaner and cause there are so many toy to pick up first!

    I hate Vacuuming.

    The only reason is because Simba is terrified of the vacuum. I hate watching him run around like it's going to kill him or something.

    I normally let him outside before someone vacuums but he still gets all nervous.

    I'm very excited! I finally figured this one out, lets see if I can explain it well. The trick is when you hold out the sheet before you fold it DON'T grab it from the end of the sheet. Grab it by the seam, then that extra corner will fold in. It will make the sheet square so you can fold it normally.

    Since I have a house cleaner who does the nasty stuff (like the toilets) my most hated chore is doing dishes. Thankfully we have a dishwasher, but not so thankfully, the motorhome does not. So here I am, supposed to be on vacation and I sit doing dishes by hand - ugh! Fortunately the newer motorhomes are starting to "show" dishwashers, but unfortunately, we're not in the market for a new motorhome anytime soon. And finally, thankfully Terry doesn't mind paper plates and plastic silverware.

    I actually like vacuuming, but that could be because I don't have to do it because of the aforementioned house cleaner. She only comes once a month though, and I'm not that impressed with her vacumming skills, so I usually like to vacuum a few times in between her visits. In my opinion, the whole place looks clean if the carpet is freshly vacuumed. Of course that only lasts until T or P decide to walk across it and put their little kitty prints all over my freshly vacuumed floor - I hate that! And the bad news is Terry is just as bad as they are and doesn't understand what my problem is with walking on freshly vacummed carpeting - he laughs at me when I jump from throw rug to throw rug to avoid stepping on it.

    Ironing is my absolute WORST chore. I avoid it as much as I can. After ironing, I should say taking out the trash every week. Bleh. The bad part isn't exactly taking out the trash, but emptying every little dust bin in the house! I hate that!
