I just found out today is No Housework Day! In a way, that's pretty exciting — a day set aside for the specific purpose of not doing housework. I wonder if it's a gift holiday too? Perhaps your significant other is supposed to get you a robotic vacuum or some new version of the Swiffer®. And what do the greeting cards look like?
eHow has some ideas for how to celebrate this holiday — and other information related to housework — but the gift angle could take off.
Of course, for those of us who are often so much on the go that getting it all done never seems to happen – dishes today, but sweep and mop the kitchen two days from now — it doesn't seem necessary, or expedient, to say, "OK, today don't do any housework." Around here, that could (and does several days a week) happen naturally.
Prior to coming across this wonderful news, the plans for today included a couple loads of laundry, dishes, grocery shopping and taking recycle items to the collection site. What am I to do now?
It's quite a dilemma. Do I respect the time honored day of recognition for diligent keepers of clean houses everywhere? Or do I stick to my plans because I'm not sure of my next opportunity fit in those most important chores?
One thing's guaranteed, it's going on my calendar, with a reminder set for a week in advance. I will be prepared to skip housework next year on April 7th.
I'm looking forward to it!
Happy No Housework Day everyone. I'm off to start my line of greeting cards.
