Cleaning gives you cancer! That's not an arbitrary statement. My Biology professor told me himself. According to him handling cleaning products has a direct correlation to cancer and therefore I shall no longer clean.
I'm being a pain, I'm actually a terrible housewife. That's not an exaggeration. It's really bad, I'm terribly lazy. And I hate touching dishes. We have a long term joke in our house thanks to me because of my lack of ability to wash a dish. I tend to make soup often, therefore we go through quite a few bowls and more times than once we've discovered a beautiful modern art installation piece in our sink, my husband liked to call it "every bowl in the house" because quite often every single bowl in the house is sitting in the sink dirty. And the moment I realize dishes need to be done, I refuse to make eye contact with my spouse and find something else to clean. He knows, it's not secret. And honestly he's really cool about it, I don't mind vacuuming, laundry, heck I'd honestly rather clean the bathroom everyday including the toilet (toilets doesn't bother me) but dishes; I just CAN'T...ugh it's awful.
I feel bad though, I really am the worst and I need to improve my horrible domestic skills. I'm just thankful that I have a spouse that loves me despite my laziness. Because he's really patient and kind and understands me. I know I get on his nerves but I need to pick up my slack. And give him an easier time. He really does treat me like a princess and I need to be sure to make him feel more appreciated beyond just cooking dinner maybe take the extra step....you know...do that thing......with the food particles and dinnerware. It matters, we have lovely dishes and I should just take the extra effort to...um do that thing that I hate to do. Deployment is a huge time for reflection on your relationship and this really is a problem that is completely my fault and that I need to proactively fix. So Charles if you're reading this feel free to pull up this specific blog post after deployment and remind me that I need to be a better spouse and treat you better. Because you deserve it and it's the least I can do for everything that you do for me. You are my world and I'm honestly going to try harder to help out around the house.
Any Day But Today,
Kayla
