Answer 1

Sleek almost git it right with the idea of breaking up the job into smaller bits. But he forgot to employ the carrot and stick element, or in your case, the spank or no spank element. utob did well to be the first to get down to what is important in life (spanking-what else?) and his competition idea was good, but it might lead you to still not getting it done since him beating you still results in some red cheeks. Philips idea was promising but it didn't include a cleaning process. Here is my idea. Break your house down into rooms and for each room, nominate an item to be left untidy as a symbol. Your hubby needs to be told what the symbol is. You might say ''Sir, I'm doing the bathroom today, I sure hope i don't forget to scrub the bath. I'd hate to be spanked when you got home''. This way he knows how it can work and you will be motivated. Maybe if you don't get it done, he could just be very disappointed and sulk. Hopefully, when he gets home, he will go straight to the bathroom and see that you have not done the bath. He will then go straight to where you are sitting, rip that womens magazine out of your hands, grab one arm and lead you to the bathroom. He would say ''Right! What is this?"
"A bath?" you would reply
"Don't be smart. Get down on your hands and knees and look at your hopeless effort." He hands you a scrubbing brush. "Now start scrubbing!"
You start scrubbing furiously but then you feel your skirt being lifted up. Your panties are torn in two and you feel the air cool your bare bottom. You stop scrubbing in surprise.
"Did i say stop? Scub that bath like you should have done! Move like a professional Scrubber." You start going at it at an amazing speed. You feel his hands caressing your flesh. Then, Slap! Slap! Slap! You stop again to appreciate the warmth. ''If you keep stopping, I won't finish and I will lock you in here instead. Now scrub like a proper Scrubber!'' You resume. He grips one cheek, then swings back. You know it will come but you don't know when. It seems like an eternity and you can't help but to jut your bare bottom toward him a little. WHACK! Your whole body sways over the bath. WHACK! It makes you gasp, these are quite hard. WHACK! Then he rubs your cheeks for a while. You keep scrubbing like a good girl. You dare not look back. You feel your two hands grip both cheeks and feel them pulled slowly apart. What will he do? You feel yourself dripping on your nicely cleaned bathroom floor. ''You dirty girl. You have just ruined the clean floor. What is the point doing it if you are going to dirty it all over again!" Slap, Slap, Slap, slap, Slap. You feel your cheeks wobble to the quicker beat. You finish your scrubbing and he asks you for the scrubbing brush. "Now look at your work. I want it to always look like that!" He then uses the brush on your bottom. Pat...pat...slap...Whack! He slaps those cheeks really good. Then he turns you around to face him and you see him standing over you. He is already out. "Now clean this!'' he says.

You DON'T have to clean the HOUSE today. You only have to clean the living room and the bathroom closest to it. This morning, focus on the living room. Tackle the bathroom before dinner or right after. TOMORROW you can tackle one more room. Friday you can straighten up all three clean rooms and you'll also have the energy from the momentum of achievement to do the rest! Go through there for 15 minutes with an open garbage, walking through each room. When it is full, walk it out to the outdoor can to get some fresh air, then come back and like someone else said, let us know when you're back and we'll give you a star! Gotta break it up into small chunks in order to not feel overwhelmed. Have fun Sunday, relaxing and celebrating because of the good job done today, tomorrow, Friday & Saturday.

I have my bouts of laziness, too. Here's what I do:
I look around and observe my surroundings. If there are any clothes lying around, I make a mental note to throw my clothes as far as I can throw them towards my bedroom. I then think, "What if I have visitors today?" I try to think of what goes through their mind when they open my drawers and cabinets and think to themselves "My, she's so organized! I wish I were like that." Then I feel enlightened, that everything must have its own place. I begin to do that. I clean up my kitchen quickly, and wipe down the counters. I at least put the dishes in the dishwasher, out of sight from everyone. I quickly pick up the living room and vaccum. When I look around, I feel satisfied. After that, I am more inclined to organize. I fold my towels and sheets and put them in the linen closet.
Everything must have its own place. How cool is that?
BTW, I am totally serious. This is actually what I do. Sorry if it sounds weird, but it works for me!

Answer 4

I understand your ambivalence. I HATE housecleaning. Think of every action as an action of love and devotion toward your son. I've done that and it really works. Also, put on some of your favorite music and blast it while you're working. Only take one room at a time, otherwise you'll feel overwhelmed. I've dedicated my housework and have gotten a pretty crazy mess under control in under two hours and then you can come back on the net knowing your house is clean. You'll feel so much lighter.
Best to you.

Answer 5

First, put on some music. Do only ten minutes. Tell yourself you will do it for ten minutes. Then do that. Later you can do more if you are able. Everything has it's place. Make a pile for alike items. Toss anything you have not looked at or used in a year, give stuff away and have a pile to sell on ebay or amazon. Enjoy!

Answer 6

Go to the Internet and look up Dust Mites - especially enlarged pictures of what they look like.

You will be so grossed out you will clean everything in sight.

Congratulations on the First Communion

Answer 7

Ok, Lily, that's it. No more spankings till you've done the cleaning - no matter how much you plead....

I sympathise, though, since I loathe housework. I've always rather liked Joan Rivers' comment: "The trouble with housework is you do it - and then six months later you have to do it all over again."
