Isn't it funny how pleasurable the simple things can be when you haven't done them in a while? You know, things like laundry, cleaning the rings out of your toilets and picking up socks off your bedroom floor? I know I haven't blogged much this week, but I've been busy enjoying the simple things. I wrote earlier about quitting one of my three part-time jobs. Even though it was a job that I loved, everything in my home had gone to the dogs while I tried to keep my head above water with my work-life. It's just so nice to catch up on some domestic chores. Don't get me wrong, I'll probably be tired of those same chores again in a few weeks, but for now I'm cheerfully wiping out kitchen cabinets!
What are some of the chores that you don't mind? I actually find folding clothes theraputic (I do it sitting on my bed at night with the tv on). I don't mind cleaning the bathroom, because I love the results. Honestly, I really don't like to cook. I know some of you just gasped. I envy those of you who love cooking and see it as your creative outlet. I envy you, and I wish that my family and I could move in with you. I'm truly trying to change my outlook on cooking. I know it's a way to minister to my family that is so much deeper than meeting a physical need. For those of you who are lovers of the kitchen, please pray for me!
Anyway, what are the chores that you secretly love? Which ones do you hate? I'll be interested to read your posts!

I don't like cleaning bathrooms, but like when I clean up a certain area of our home. Makes me feel and see that something actually was accomplished.
Hope you and your family have a very meaningful Easter.
Blessings,

I love to cook. My husband and I have a deal, I cook...he cleans. I wash the laundry...he folds it. I'm lucky I've been told that he doesn't mind helping around the house. I guess I am. I can't take credit for it though. He came already trained. He was one of five kids and they were raised to help around the house! Just an added benefit for me!!! YaY!
My husband and I share a love for cooking and the tv always has some kind of cooking show on :) I love to bake, and I also like to clean the bathroom as I too love the results, as you said.
I don't like washing the dishes that I don't put in the dishwasher... and ironing!

I love to clean the floors and dust. There is that immediate look of clean! I also love to make the bed. Even if the room is a mess, it looks 10 times better with the bed made.
I hate to cook and do laundry. But with a big family, I really need to get over myself! :-)
