Did Cinderella Have To Scrub Fish Tanks?

I envy Cinderella. Truly I do. Surely scrubbing dishes, floors, fireplaces, and laundry isn't that bad of a gig. I don't think she had to deal with what the snakes didn't eat, unless that cat dragged something in, but since it's the pampered fat pet of the step family, I doubt it even knows how to use it's claws. Or the mouse would run circles around the cat. In any case. Surely she didn't have to deal with such bad smells like I have to do in the pet store. I decided to tackle the fish tanks today. I have no idea what I'm doing, but the smells coming from that water (and the distinct lack of enthusiasm to tackle the 'snow' heaven of the birds.) demanded attention. I'm not even sure how all those fish survive. Or if any of them ever get bought for the matter. You can barely see the fish for the algae growing all over the glass, plants and everything. Not to mention the FILTER DOESN'T WORK!
()_() Seriously, I was into cleaning the algae for like two hours before I realized it! Ugh, I still haven't figured out how to fix it.

I bet Cinderella didn't have to do that. Smell like bad water. Bleck.
But I envy Cinderella because even though she had a step family that used her. She found love.
It seems like such a nice concept, marrying because you love the guy. Or love the girl. No other reason just 'love.'
Perhaps that's why I like the old stories. I like the idea of love.
I mean...I truly think my mother loved me. She stuck around longer then most other parents in my age group did. Most of their parents divorce before the age of five.Though...those my age didn't have their moms.....well....yah....
Those moms chose to leave. My Mom didn't. She was taken. So suddenly. So drastically.

I miss her.
