At some point over the past 4 years I have actually come to enjoy cleaning. Of course this is only enjoyable when in turn the children are looked after so the task may be done. In fact, I would actually prefer to do dishes to giving the kids a bath, at least i don't have to pay too close attention as to if a certain dish is drowning.......I too enjoy my vacuum, the louder the better. My children (all but 1) run out of the room the moment I turn it on. Its amazing. I think I will take the vacuum in the bathroom with me next time I go, what an amazing world it would be to take a poop undisturbed! I suppose through out the day, these are the moments that God knows I need, just those tiny little spaces of time to stay inside my mind. I just find it awe inspiring that he knows exactly what I need at the perfect time.
