pssst, wanna know a secret?

in the jozjozjoz/yoshi household, the common belief is that yoshi does most of the housework. when one actually examines the facts, however, there is a distinct margin between what the yoshi actually does and what the jozjozjoz actually does:

yoshi:
*laundry (including stain removal on the jozjozjoz clothing, changing bedding, etc.)
*dishes
*cleaning (disinfecting kitchen and bathrooms, moving piles of the jozjozjoz clutter into jozjozjoz territory, i.e., her desk)
*dusting

jozjozjoz:
*garbage (collecting from every room and taking it to the dumpster)
*recycling (taking every bottle and can from my desk and putting into the kitchen, and rinsing out everything i leave in the kitchen to be recycled, not to mention all the paper and plastic that goes from the kitchen and the office to the recycling bin)
*vacuuming (ok, this only means she moves furniture and runs rooben around, but still)
*puts all the clean dishes away
*puts all the groceries away
*refills the toilet paper in the bathrooms
*puts towels in the bathrooms on laundry day
*puts sodas in fridge so that there are always cold ones

so here’s to jozjozjoz, may she never realize just how unbalanced this household chore list really is…(although she does, on occasion, read my posts, especailly on her own blog).

    Hey, at least you do all the hard stuff.

    interesting… but if you further examine your statement, doing the dishes, laundry, and actually cleaning and disinfecting take a lot more effort than just putting stuff away/where it belongs….. i’m just sayin’

    Hire a maid, and eliminate that pesky chores list!

    Thank you for your comment. Zee is a very great friend, she is like my sister.

    Hmm. Maybe there’s a case to be made for quality/quantity?

    …and once again, I am amazed that joz gets *any* sleep!

    Impressive list for both of you. Dishes and laundry alone does seem to outweigh most of your list, though, Jozeroo!

    OK, I think I know who’s the wife and who the husband is! ;-)

    I would expect the stain removal alone to consume a majority of your time, except we know the ::jozjozjoz:: is habitually working through meal times.
