this is a rented apartment. It really sucks- even when we clean it- but it's cheap for Newport. We only pay $525 mo plus all utilities, and you can't find anything in the paper for less that $900 a month. (And it's in a great location).
I really want a house within the next five years, and I'll do a good job of cleaning it

We have an agreement that when I don't have to work anymore, I'll do ALL the housework, so there is hope.
I hate to live in filth like this, and I do keep the sink and kitchen counters clean, as well as the bed stuff, but I refuse to do the rest for him. God, I already take the dog out twice a day even though he promised me he would be in charge of that. That can't be avoided, but the apartment- well, I CAN be stubborn about that!
