Housework!

Can anyone tell me why 'housework' when living on a boat is actually a relaxing, pleasant way to pass the time (you know, tidying up, dishes, washing the decks), but at home it is one of my most loathed activities, and hence my house right now looks like.... well, you don't want to know!
I even had good intentions today ...I dropped my little boy off at school and thought to myself, 'Right, that's a whole six hours that I can spend cleaning, organising, rearranging - my house is going to be sooooo clean and tidy!'
And yet here I am...an hour later, nothing done! I know... five hours is still plenty of time for me to have an impact on this hovel, and yet ...my urge to clean has dissipated somewhat!
I blame all of you... well, the few of you that have been kind enough recently to leave comments. :-) You've distracted me with your thoughts and blogs...and amazing photos Jack and Jude! (If you want to know what I'm talking about, check out www.jackandjude.com .I've downloaded some of their pics from their screensaver section and now I'm really distracted!)
I think there's only one solution that's practical - I'll have to live on a boat full time. Now if I can just convince hubby and seven year old .... wish me luck!
