Me and my mop, we're breaking up (and a giveaway)

We were once so close, you and I.
Not so long ago, together, we loved to make those floorboards sparkle.
The winter sun would shine through the windows and not a speck of dust could be seen.
It was a magical time.
In my naivete, I thought it would never end.
I was wrong.

You and I, we made music together.
Swish, swish, swish.
If I listen in my mind, I can almost still hear it.
But that music rings a little hollow now.
The spark has gone.
I guess all good things change. Don't they?

It's so very different now, between you and I.
Since the kids came along.
The closeness we once shared has slipped away.
I find myself looking for time to be with you.
I so desperately want that sparkle, that shine.
But I have had to let it go, at least for a while.
There are other priorities in life.
The sand on the floor, the squashed sultanas, the spilled juice.
Those things don't really matter as much to me now.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that for now I have to accept we will be spending less time together.
Please understand, it's not you, it's me.
Our time will come again one day.
But for now I think we're (kind of) breaking up.
There are children who want to play with their mummy.

What is your relationship with housework? Have you broken up with your brushes? Or are you still madly in love? Love? Hate?

I received this very cute "Break up Kit" from Sabco today. It's full of no less than 9 (mostly lime green) coloured cleaning brushes and gadgets. There may have been chocolate in the kit too but.....whoops, I ate that. Being bright green, the kids were quite keen on checking out the various brushes. Little do they know, that interest may just get them a little scrubbing job helping Mummy tomorrow. *Cue evil laughter.*
