I would shower and dress before DH leaves in the morning so he could watch the kids for 10 minutes.

Cleaning I would put him in the highchair with something to eat that would keep him busy for a while. What I didn't get done then I would do when he went to bed.

It's getting sooo much easier now though, he and DD are playing together in the backyard alot so they go out there in the morning and I can clean the house in about 15 minutes without them underfoot
