Want

I want to clean the basement. I feel really frustrated because I cannot clean the basement. Really annoying. Either I'm with the baby, or have too many other things to do. Frustrating. I also want to work in the yard. Same problem.

Why do I have this strong need to clean the basement and work in the yard? It's not like I even see those places most of the time? Who knows? A desire to control... to be in command of my environment? Well, I *like* the yard work--it's good exercise and I love being out of doors. The basement I guess is a more practical concern... I need more storage space and to be able to find the things I have.

But both these things will have to wait a little longer. Just a little longer.

Oh, if only my husband was the sort of fellow who did yard work and cleaned basements. But he isn't, and so dearly do i love him...
