What is bugging me today

So today my biggest peeve is me. I know I have so much to do but I really do not want to do any of it. Laundry? Who can tell if the kids are wearing dirty clothes? They get them dirty as soon as they put them on anyway, right? At least that is the feeling I get when I look at all the laundry they produce. Inside out socks make me nutso and I know there are about a million of them just waiting for me down in the dungeon...uh, I mean basement. That is not a motivator. Dishes? I have to do them EVERY day. Where is the fun in that? Nothing new, nothing special. Well, unless you count the occasional cup that has been through the dishwasher cycle three times in an attempt to get the sludge out. Whoo Hoo. They call to me - those disgusting dishes in the disgusting kitchen. I feel them staring at me; imploring me to come and take care of the stick and slime. I can't cook around them. I HAVE to do them before I can cook. That is why lunch is usually something that can travel out of the kitchen in a box or on a paper plate. Shower? Is it really necessary to shower every day? Why does it seem to take so much effort? I am pretty sure that it didn't cost so much effort when I did do it every day...to get up and go outside the house to work. Work? Really? In between procrastinating the laundry, dishes and shower? Oh yeah and feeding the kids and changing diapers? Because there are days when I just leave them in their jammies and don't bother to entertain them with much besides endless hours of cartoon drivel. Yeah, that is most days. Dinner? My most favorite thing in the whole world is cooking. NOT. I hate spending so much of my precious time on something that is inevitably going to be underappreciated by the short crowd, not taste like something that came from a restaurant (which would have been much easier and less time consuming) and creates more damn dishes for tomorrow's procrastination. Another great motivator. Well, I hear the damn dryer buzzer calling me for the tenth time, the clean dishes need to be rescued from the dishwasher, a kid needs a diaper change, the other one just smashed a blueberry into the carpet and dinner needs to be created so I guess I had better stop whining and get on it. Maybe tomorrow there will be someone who bugs me more than me.
