Saturdays are "special days"?

Saturdays are supposed to be the day that most of the free world uses to relax, and just have a great time. In this digustingly messy house, we are going to use Saturdays as a day to "muck out" of this pit we call a home! I find it interesting that in a house of 5 (or 7, or 9....depending on how many are home from college, and how many are dropping by for dinner....) that the mom is the only one that cleans anything (or, defense of some of the helpful people, the one that cleans most of the messes in this house) In discussing this situation with my "mommy" friends, I've discovered that this problem is far from unique. I must admit however, that I declared this "clean the house spotless day", and found myself being lured by my teenage son's guitar hero game.....I haven't gone beyond "easy", but I now found myself on to a level that I had to look at "advanced techniques" on the training part of the game. Not very impressive for my boys, but not so bad for an old lady that didn't get enough sleep last night! Now, on to cleaning, or we won't be able to have a "nothing but fun" day on Monday when nobody has school.....It really stinks when Mom makes a rule that she later would rather not adhere to....

Who?! Me?! Why, I haven't played it for....well.....okay. I guess the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem?
