Woman vs Machine


I think there are good reasons why I hate housework! This weekend while vacuuming the entire house I had not one, but three encounters with the vacuum cleaner that prove my point. After vacuuming one of the bedrooms I set the sweeper out in the hallway. It was only a matter of seconds before I ran past it to get the phone & hit my foot sharply on the base. It was soooo painful!! I think I probably broke my toe since it continued to throb all day long & is still hurting three days later. Persevering I moved downstairs to continue vacuuming & stretched the cord to the max before unplugging it. When I stopped to go unplug the cord to plug it in elsewhere, the vacuum fell over on my other foot. Undaunted I continued but before I was able to complete this task I tripped on the cord & fell into the coffee table. I finally finished sweeping before putting the damn vacuum in the closet & slamming the door so I guess in some way I prevailed.
