J has carpeted three rooms of our house this past week. It looks really nice. Now four rooms of our house all match. 🙂
This led to the new rule that i have to vacuum everyday. And the further rule that if the housework isn’t done i get my ass beat. Now, i keep my house. But, i keep it *for me.* This switches that mindset to keeping it *for J.* Fine right?
It makes me more nervous about the housework!

LOL, I find it alot easier to keep the house ‘for him’ than I do for myself!! I’LL let the vacumning slide for a couple of days and why make the bed when I’m just gonna get back into it at night, right? Apparently wrong! ‘For him’ means vacumning at least every other day (no pets!) and the bed gets made before I leave the bedroom in the morning.
I got to spend most of today with my J, and while he was showering it was nice to go and lay out his clothes. I miss those ‘little things’ when he’s not around!

Now he wants to plant a garden and me to keep it weeded. i feel like i’m going to drown in chores. Honestly i’m afraid i won’t be able to keep up.

At least weeding gives you a reason to spend some time outside? I’d rather weed than vacumn any day of the week!
Is it a matter of needing a good schedule to get everything done or too many things to even schedule? I know that when my J starts a new ‘plan’ he sometimes forgets that what is a good idea in theory is sometimes a bad idea in reality. Having to go to him and explain this is one of the things I dislike most, because managing to explain myself while not sounding like I’m agruing with his orders isn’t always easy to do.

i probably just need a schedule. But, i bet i end up with some of those punishment spankings.

I totally find it so much easier to keep up with housework when I’m doing it for Sam – even though I LOVE a clean and neat house (or I think I would if I knew what a neat house felt like!!) hehehe
but it’s ok to ask J to slow down… you can only do so much… baby steps ya know? I’m sure he doesn’t want you to get overwhelmed and burn out!! the more you have to do the more you have to feel guilty about when you have a bad day and aren’t able to keep up… which you know will happen once in a while… you ARE only human after all hehehe
anyway – just my two cents as usual *HUGS*

p.s. congratulations on the new carpet… I know how nice it is to have a new floor!! haaaa
I would LOVE new carpet in my living room and bedroom (mostly living room) the old tenants had a dog that puked everywhere and the ones before them had a rabbit that peed and pooped everywhere – my living room carpet looks like it has been used to line cages at the kennel!!
and it doesn’t smell much better on damp days either!! – YUCK!!

Thanks for the congrats! i am excited. We got the carpet tiles because J works for a carpet factory. Gotta be some perk to that hell hole.
J says i’m making a mountain out of a mole hill. That he doesn’t expect that much more out of me. Maybe i am. He also said that the only way i’ll get spanked is if i don’t clean the house from defiance. If it doesn’t get cleaned due to mental health or having too much other stuff to do, that’s fine.
