Housework is NEVER done...!

I know it has been said and said again and again but I am finding out all over again how very true this really is!

Becki left last week to Rachel back to the U.S. and I am fending for myself. It's not too bad, although I really miss my wife! 
I am eating, although the food is not near as good as when my wife fixes it! 
I am cleaning, although probably not as neatly as my wife would do (don't tell her!)
I am washing the clothes and hanging them on the line (yep, outside air dried = cheaper!)
I am washing the dishes (how do they keep piling up like that? where do they come from?!)
I am feeding and bathing the dog (sometimes it is a spray off with the hose outside!)
I am finding out where some of the food is kept (and some I have not found...hmm....)
I did find a Snickers bar I bought for Becki which she did not eat...  :-)
I am keeping things basically in order, I think...my wife will let me know when she gets back!

In addition to all this everyday normal stuff, I am trying to keep up with ministry things, 
- a church plant that needs help
- an established church that needs help
- a Bible study that is learning to grow on its own (some)
- a ladies study in a new church plant area that wanted a visit
- prepping for the next class - reading the 250 plus pages and editing and copying and copying and copying and c o p y i n  g..... (sorry I dozed off!)
- teaching the other classes in between this

what? what is that in the kitchen...? a pile of dishes...?!
How? Where did they come from?!

I thought I already did the laundry - where did all these dirty clothes come from?!

Hey, there's a dust bunny over there....hmm, wonder if it has any friends?

Yeeesh! Apparently there's a whole colony of dust bunnies in here somewhere! 
They're everyWHERE!

ah - please don't tell my wife, I'll get this all in order before she gets back...

after all - she's not gonna be back for another 6 weeks!

So, if she's only been gone 1 week, how did all this happen so fast?

What are all those tools doing in the dining area? You know that's not where they go!

wait - who said that?!

hmm....I really miss my wife!

( psst - Hi Becki ! )
