You know it's bad when . . .

Today when Dave was referring to the condition of our master bathroom, he described it as "vile". I know it's been awhile since it's been cleaned and it is pretty bad. So I thought I would do a little research and see just how he feels about our most frequented rest stop.

Look what I found out:

–adjective, vil·er, vil·est.
1. wretchedly bad: a vile humor.
2. highly offensive, unpleasant, or objectionable: vile slander.
3. repulsive or disgusting, as to the senses or feelings: a vile odor.
4. morally debased, depraved, or despicable: vile deeds.
5. foul; filthy: vile language.
6. poor; wretched: vile workmanship.
7. of mean or low condition: a vile beggar.
8. menial; lowly: vile tasks.
9. degraded; ignominious: vile servitude.
10. of little value or account; paltry: a vile recompense.


—Synonyms 1. See mean2. 3. repellent. 4. vicious, evil, iniquitous. 5. vulgar, obscene. 9, 10. contemptible. 10. trivial, trifling.
Antonyms 1. good. 4. elevated.


Yeah, so not so good. You know it's bad when Dave describes a room in our house as vile, though I must commend him, he does have a higher standard of cleanliness than most male counterparts. Many times when the housework starts to spin out of control, he'll step in and help. And not just to be a loving husband, but because he too enjoys a clean house. For this I am truly blessed. But I'm not sure what's happening in the bathroom. It's been slightly neglected. Sometimes when things get so bad, I have a hard time wanting to start, just knowing it's going to be many hours later before I'm finished. I don't know, I guess I'm going to have to figure it out this weekend. Just the thought of a vile room in my house, makes me want to go clean it!!
