The perfect housewife
I’m watching Anthea Turner’s ‘Perfect Housewife’ whilst taking a break from my housework (honestly). Makes me feel a bit better about the state of my house! But saying that, these people are extremely messy, and I’m just… quite messy. I can understand why the housewives on the show get into such a mess. It’s the whole ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ thing. Every time I fully tidy the house, I always promise to myself that I’ll keep it that way for good from then on, but I never do.
So I was thinking about how I could just keep up with the housework, and I thought maybe I should look at it the same way I look at exercising… JUST DO IT!!!!! This week I have done lots of exercise, including high energy aerobics, and the only way I could do it was to just ignore the voice in my head saying ‘I don’t feel like it, I’ll start tomorrow’ and just go and do it anyway. It’s almost like I’m humouring my lazy voice: ‘oh yes, lazy voice, you’re right… I’ll start tomorrow’ I say, as I put my running shoes on. And before I know it, I’m exercising and actually enjoying it! I have to start ignoring the voice that puts things off.
I’m really left wondering though; does Anthea really do the housework in a pencil skirt, shirt and heels?
