Seriously, runners, we're busy folk. I personally work full-time, coach part-time, train, and still find time to have a husband and have a few other interests. But one thing that really stresses me out is coming home to a filthy house. I don't know why, but when I was single and lived in an apartment by myself, everything was always clean and tidy. Since I got married, though, I can't keep anything clean. I thought I would actually gain time when I got married because Dave would just be here instead of me having to make time to see him and travel to see him. I just don't feel anymore I have the time or the energy to keep the house clean. But not having a clean house makes me angry!
I've been contemplating hiring a cleaning service. We hire a service to make our lawn look great in the summer, why wouldn't I want the same for the inside of my home? Do any of have a cleaning service? I just think it would eleviate some of my stress if I didn't have to come home to a dirty house and could concentrate my time on other activities.
Running's been going pretty well this week. I did a nice 6 mile run on Tuesday and yesterday I did somewhere between 3-1/2 to 4 miles in my neighborhood and then through a park. I tried to map in out on Google but when you live in a still-developing area not everything shows on the map.
Talk to y'all later.

smsmh and i share the cleaning. i handle floors and trash, she does bathrooms and dusting. we both do the kitchen (if you cook, the other does the dishes), laundry and generally keeping the house straight.
but then again, we have groups of people over at our place all the time, so we have to keep the place looking decent all the time.
Well, for the past 6 years, my wife hasn't worked and she feels that she can do all of the house work (her decision, not mine!). My son started kindergarten this year and she actually got a part time job so as not to be bored. She still does most of the work around the house, but I try to help out where I can (I still do the yard work). If it gets to be too much for her, we will definitely hire a service! I don't want her spending all of her spare time cleaning! I would rather her spend it with us...
As a stay at home mom, you'd think our house would be spotless since I'm home to clean it. However, you've seen Cyclone Carrie in action so it isn't hard to realize our house is usually a disaster! We've talked about a cleaning service too... might actually have to do it w/ this second kid coming. At least the new house will have a dishwasher. Yeah!!!!
What's Angie's list?
