Housework Trime Trials
Multi-tasking is an overused term. Mothers/women are supposed to be better multi-taskers than men if I read into the message. Multi-tasking conjurs up ideas of the turn-of-the-century when families were as traditional and backward as your mind can get you to believe. Images of women with children in varying stages from maybe 16 year olds down to a new born, with no child more than a year off from the next. Think Michelle Dugger before she was Mrs. Jim Bob Dugger. Mom is home with the kids while Dad is out working in a coal mine or mill or anything manual you can imagine. Sometimes I feel like I should get more done in the 24 hours allotted to me. So here was my idea for the Housework Time Trials: I set the timer on the wall oven, because its loud and when it goes off I have to run and stop it before it stops itself. Your getting it now aren't you; its a game. How long does it take you to unload the diswasher, the dryer, the washer, etc. This is the fun way of doing housework. Let's make a game, let's post some scores. Making beds, vacuuming, giving your husband a .... now, now, now, ladies that one's not a chore (hehehehe). Post your times if your interested. A basket of laundry is tough to judge. Socks can throw your time off and yet towels don't. You have to get yourself comfortable and not take this too seriously. It is a game. Maybe we can have actual times posted. Let me know your thoughts

I like to add up all the time I spend doing my household chores, then compare that to the minimal amount of time my husband spends on his. Great for ammunition when he complains about "all he does" when I ask him to give the kids a bath for a change.
