Why does daily life have to interfere with all the fun I want to have? Why do I have to work when I just want to play? Why does my kitchen floor look like it could grow a garden if I don't mop it once (or twice) a day? (Which NEVER happens!) Why do I have to work in the office when I want to watch English movies and embroider cute quilt squares? Why do I have to do laundry when I want to scrapbook or put photos in albums? Why is there no more money when there are so many cool things to buy? Why do I have to scrub toilets when I'd rather watch "The Closer?" Why do I have to sew school bags for Humanitarian Services when I'd rather create a "Betsy Buttons" doll or make a Raggedy Ann dress? Why do I have to vacuum when "Moda Bake Shop" is calling my name? Why do I have to do dishes when I what I really want to do is go swimming? Why is it always work, work, work???
Since we HAVEN'T had paying work for seven months, I think I have learned some serious lessons about the value of work and that people NEED to work to feel good about themselves. I was going to write a post about that very subject, but instead...I am whining about the WORK I already have to do. What is my problem??
Today I'm going to be grateful for my work. And I'm going to go do some. More. Have a great day!

Thanks for the post! I realized just how boring my life is, though, as I read all the alternatives you mentioned that you could be doing in place of work! It's obvious why everyone LOVES to be with "Aunt Linda"--you always have some fun or interesting thing just waiting to happen! Good luck with your work; I hope you can enjoy some of the other options soon :) (I love your new background, by the way...)
I feel the same way! I would much rather go swimming or read a book, or read a book while swimming than do my chores!!!
