Sisyphus must have had mommy issues


This is the image in my head as I look around at my filthy house.  I've been working all weekend -- but the little whirlwind of destruction was ahead of me.

I feel like I'm never getting ahead of it

in fact

Sisyphus' boulder only rolled down to the bottom
it didn't create a brand new bottom even lower - did it?

actually, I only have a passing acquaintance with the man and his cute butt.

so now that the Pixie has gone to sleep
I'll be back at it

trying to get the boulder up briefly

and wondering how pissed Sisyphus was when his mom saddled him with that name.

  1. Ha! I sooooo know the feeling - and there are 2 of us trying to keep the rock up the hill. Of course, also more of us available to tip it back down...

    Good luck.

    1. Well you've got a little whirlwind of destruction of your own these days too!

  2. "Cleaning the house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing".

    - someone said this once... right?

  3. @sin -- I think Tex views this differently - but I have to agree -- sometimes it feels like getting up in the middle of the night to make the bed.
