    I hate doing housework, it's a never ending job.
    I have been on housecleaning strike the last couple of days and you can really tell it.

    I guess I will have to start cleaning again.

    Yeah, no fun, but what a blessing to be able to be at home doing this full time if it means you are joyfully serving your family. If you're single, it can mean more to God if you do housecleaning with a thankful heart than doing a more "worthy" job with a stinky attitude.
