Because my many hints... complaints... suggestions... please... and leading by example have left my house for the most part as dirty and cluttered as I found it. And because I estimate (and my friends all agree) that the house is likely to look worse when I get home from college I have devised a plan to have mother clean the house.
But how does this plan work?
Well. I hope!
I've been reading Peter Walsh's It's All Too Much, and much of what he says confirms my beliefs and suspicions and expectations for the house. And so I have written up a plan of action! I have put together a notebook for my mother with instruction and a plan to follow for cleaning the house. She is to complete one task every weekday and this way the house should be spic-and-span in just twelve weeks!
Ah... but how can we expect my mother to stick to a cleaning schedule for more then the fraction of a second it will take her to reject the whole idea all together?
well... I've written a litter. Oh it's a nice letter. Sort of a formal letter even. But if it doesn't do the trick then I can always expose her to my blog... Or invite Peter Walsh to dinner *snicker*
But I did explain to her in the letter what I would be to emotional to express properly in a verbal way. That I believe a clean house would be healthier and happier for the whole family... and it also leaves out any bitterness or anger issues I always seem to develop when I think about the house. So maybe she'll respond to it well. I suppose that I'll give it and the plan to her this week end, and offer to help her get started. But I prefer to clean alone, and I figure she works the same way. It's just easier to focus when you are the only one whose activities you have to monitor, and respond to, and communicate with etc.
