Intentional?

I'll be the first to admit that my housekeeping skills have been rather lax lately. It's hard to find motivation when first it rained for a week straight and the next week was beautiful weather in the 70s which had us outside every day. My excuse this week is that it is too hot in the upper 80s and even into the 90s to clean. All my energy must be conserved to keep myself cool!

Anyway, on Sunday Jake was finally overwhelmed by all the stuff piled up everywhere waiting for me to find motivation to put it away. He started listing all the things that needed to get done around the house. Not one to expend more energy than necessary, I convinced him to help me when he got home from the gym. Surprisingly, he agreed.

Jake called me as he was leaving the gym later that morning.

This is what he did to his ankle while playing basketball:


Some might feel sympathy for him but I knew that he agreed too easily to help me straighten up the house. Rolling your ankle for the hundredth time is a little intense but I guess it does work if you are trying to get out of something. So intentional or accident????? You decide........

Accident, definitely, but very suspicious in its timing!

Pay Ellie to help you clean up. It costs me a few bucks but Aliza is very good at putting things away when she's told, and she's learning to clean up, so it's a lesson and a neater house all at the same time.
