Never done...

Thinking about household chores can be a very depressing thing, but thinking about how often these chores need attention is a little more depressing. We've come up with a list of things that are never done. No need to wonder what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life!

1-Laundry! Even the clothes on your body will need washing...(thank you Michelle)
2-Dishes-They may be done for a moment, but a meal is always around the corner..
3-Paying bills-Even if you are out of debt, there are still bills to pay every month. Cell phone, insurance, whatever else people pay on a monthly basis...
4-Making the bed-it's just going to get messy again as soon as you make it...grrrrr
5-Grocery shopping-you may be done with a week or two, but without fail, as soon as you get home you realize something you forgot and you have to go back...
6-Pregnancy-Enough said
7-Fixing the car-In our case anyway, as soon as we fix one thing, something else breaks
8-Haircuts-Unless you are bald (Brandon), you don't have to worry about it. But, your hair is always growing....
9-Eating- You may feel full for a while but sooner or later you have to eat again, unless you are survivorman...
10-Cleaning the house-In our case anyway, there's always something to clean...

So looking at this list, I realize that there is no reason for me to be bored! There's so much to do all the time! There are also other things that need to be done each and every day that don't involve housework, where too much is never a bad thing. Here's another list-

1-Repentance
2-Forgiveness
3-Loving others
4-Serving others
5-Scripture study
6-Learning about anything and everything
7-Praying
8-Laughing
9-Spending time with family
10-Making great memories with those you love

So, some things aren't so bad even though we will never reach the end. Wow, this is a pretty random post...I better get to work!
