JFF: What's Your Poison?

What I mean by that is this:

When my husband is gone, I do ALL of the chores since my children are too young to help in a meaningful way. (Except, of course, that my 2 1/2 year old is perfectly capable of putting her toys away and will do so if asked.) So, some of the chores I like, and some I don't. Personally, I LOVE mowing the lawn. When my husband is home, I let him do it (as much as I love mowing, I don't love getting all gross & sweaty). When he's gone, though, I have to say, I really do enjoy mowing the lawn.

So what is your favorite chore to do?

What can I do next?

I have two sons and a male dog> My husband took my kids back east recently to visit family while I stayed home. I cleaned the bathrooms and they stayed clean for an entire week. There was NO PEE on the floor for a week!!!Only a mom of only boys can truly appreciate what a miracle that is....along with no underwear or socks on the floor!!!!

Oh, I thought you meant cocktails too ;-)

BBQing, cooking, gardening, picking the fruits of my labor.

I hate cleaning the kitchen and washing dishes.

Good luck to you and yours.

I definitely agree that laundry is awesome, but my favorite task is vacuuming. There's something about the roaring sound of sucking up nastiness that really makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something.

Besides that? Margarita on the rocks, no salt. Yum.

As Michelle G said, I LOVE doing laundry! Smells so good! And it's weird, but I love to mop the wood floors & tile! I dont like the vaccuuming part, but it's a necessary evil. When they're all clean & shiny, I walked all through the house barefoot & love the squeaky clean feeling! :0

Molly made me laugh. :) Booo is right, to chores, and also a big yay to cranberry juice and vodka (lime optional). Or amaretto and pineapple. Or a shot of vodka, a shot of peach schnapps, some orange juice, and some peaches as garnish. Ahhhh, so so so much better than chores. :P
Cranberry is best though....not so sweet. :)
Winter time? Ghiradelli hot chocolate with a shot of Godiva liqueur and a shot of peppermint schnapps. De-lish.

LUANDRY! Seriously! I loved it even before cloth diapers and so I wasn't intimidated by the washing aspect. I love the smell of clean laundry, folding, the warmth from the towels or sheets and wrapping me and O up in them and roll around :D
