From early morn, till setting sun.....

It's Monday and I am excited! I am having a Ladies' Get Together at my house on Wednesday.  I sorted and moved some things that had been laying around, I vacuumed and washed the floor, I did the laundry, I cleaned the bathroom sink and toilet, I swept the deck and steps, I cleaned off the kitchen counter and shined the kitchen sink, picked up the puppy toys and dusted the piano and picture frames, vacuumed up the cobwebs and killed the flies....
Then I went out to do chores and fill the wood stove.
I came in and made supper which means now my kitchen sink is not shiny any longer ... there are already puppy tracks across my floor because it's raining outside and Lady Dog comes in with wet feet... The men came in and washed up and now my sink looks like part of the shop came in too!
Someone read the paper while they were waiting for supper to cook and now there it sits, all over the kitchen table.
There is laundry to put away but it's waiting for me, sitting on the chair and there is someone eating potato chips while they sit watching tv.  As I type this I can hear Lady Dog burying something in her blankets....
And this is Monday... I have 2 more mornings to do this all over again!!!
I knew it was too early to be cleaning up the house for  company on Wednesday but I kept telling myself that I was making it easier and it wouldn't take so long to do on the day I needed the house clean....
Righ!  Who was I trying to kid?
I'm going to be like Dory, the fish who keeps forgetting things in the movie, 'Finding Nemo'... I'm just going to say to myself over and over and over... Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming....
My grandma once told me,'A housewife's work is never done - from early morn till setting sun'... Yes, she was right. I think it's one of the wonders of the world... it's a renewable resource... Oh would you look at that... one more dirty dish in my once again clean kitchen sink.... sigh....
