Do you ever get tired of doing the same thing day after day, dishes, laundry, etc?

I love my life, but sometimes I wonder how many times I have washed the same dishes, folded the same pieces of laundry, vacuumed the floors, driven the same roads. My best friend and I were talking, and she said the thing that bugs her the most is just picking up stuff constantly. (She has four kids.) What is your most boring repetitive thing? (By the way, we both love our lives, are grateful we have dishes and stuff and kids and husbands, just got talking about the repetition of it.)

    I live alone, in a rural area and don't have much company, so I often am so tired and when I'm full after eating a meal, I'll sit down to watch TV and wait for my stomach to settle and my tired feet to relax. Before I know it, it's bedtime and I'm sleepy, so I put off washing dishes and tidying up the kitchen until tomarrow; I can live with it. Then I get behind and when someone calls to say they are coming out to visit me, then I have to hurry and scurry around to make the house presentable. Tsk... yes, I don't know anything as boring as daily chores, dusting 'n cleaning. I'd much rather be doing something else. lol

    I wouldn't know about all this since I'm neither a mother or a housewife, but simply a working wife, but I'd like to share a little survey I've read in the newspaper here in Ireland. They interrogated a number of women about the division of chores between them and their husband. and found out that the 50/50 model is still not in place. They then printed a few accounts by a few of the women who answered the survey. And that's where I've noticed it. The women who claimed to divide them 50/50 with the husband were all working moms, no exception The women who declared the husband did some but they did most of them were all part-time working moms The women who claimed they did all of them and the husband did nothing were all stay-at-home moms. The newspaper did not point out that fact. They simply stated equality wasn't quite there yet. I just thought that fact was interesting. I don't do any of these tasks everyday. When I come home from work at 2 am, the last thing I wanna do is the dishes. So I can totally understand how a house would get messy. I just think if I were a housewife I'd get so bored out of my wits I might start cleaning for real. Actually I know I would. I spent 3 months in complete isolation once and I can say my house was absolutely spotless for the good reason that I had nothing else to do. Can't imagine it'd be the same with kids though...

    It's gotta be folding laundry. A near tie is cooking dinner, I try to be creative, but the store doesn't have frozen raccoon.
