Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS Community S - . A WEDNESDAY MARCH 12, 2003 s' Domestic Blitz f t By Dixie Brunner Cleaning fulfillment They say some women actually like to do it. It gives some women fulfillment. Others claim they feel a great sense of satisfaction upon its completion. What on Earth is the matter with them? My question for this week o is-d- you think some women possess some kind of cleaning gene? Im wondering whether there are women with a natural propen- sity to enjoy house cleaning duties. Well if there is such a gene, Im pretty sure I dont have it. (Perhaps its one of those recessive kinds!) I was .reading an article on spring cleaning in a womens magazine the other day. Im just not sure it was a realistic portrayal. The first thing I noticed was that all the women were dressed to the nines and smiling in the pictures... while they were doing housework! Are there really women out there who put on make-u- p and wear Ann Taylor suits while cleaning? I dress so ratty Ive scared off salesmen! . door-to-do- or Knock. Knock. Knock. I answer the door in clorox-staine- d sweats and a dirty Wis- consin He screams and runs, leaving T-shi- rt. behind the vacuum cleaner and cleaning products he was trying to sell. Great-fre- e cleaning prod IP ucts, now Im really fulfilled. The magazine article said that a good day of cleaning provides some women with an enormous amount of satisfaction. I dont know about you, but I dont waltz around the house with broom and mop in hand singing, Oh What a Beautiful Morning. I hold my mom responsible for my cleaning shortcomings. Why couldnt she have passed along her good house cleaning habits to me? After all, I inherited her propensity for carrying purses the size of small cars! And ifthe whole cleaning thing is genetic-i- s it gender exclusive? Are women the only ones who get the gene or do men carry it as well? Hurry and tell me-i- f men have the gene, I think the ones around our house are holding out on me then! Ive never seen my husband or sons get an endorphrine rush when asked to vacuum. I guess that I wouldnt mind cleaning if the state of clean had some longevity. Clean has about a one hour time span at our house. it must be done, and I must admit, I do get an enormous amount of satisfaction from having a clean house. But the interesting thing is, I get the same feeling when I hire someone to do it.
