I try to do one room properly each day, so today is monday and the lounge room and dining room are on the agenda. I am half way through folding all of the clothes on the dining table (where DH has dumped all of the clothes I washed yesterday instead of folding them, before he went away for four days ). Don't know if the lounge room will get done properly (things like dusting and sweeping under the furniture usually go by the wayside). But it will get tidied up well. I do one of the bedrooms, one bathroom, hallway/laundry, mopping/sweeping/vacuuming. Kitchen is done daily usually.
I refuse to give up my me time when the kids are in bed. It is the only time I get to myself. To do stuff I want- watch tv, read, go on the net, eat in peace, have a bath if I want and for DH and I to spend time together.
I also try make sure I wash the dishes and do a load of washing/folding/putting away of clothes each day, otherwise it gets to where it is today- a HUGE pile of clothes on the dining table calling my name, as well as last nights and today's dishes in the sink. If I can keep on top of the clothes and dishes, then the place kind of seems clean to me, lol! I tidy the toys at night I go to bed. But my place is far from what I would call tidy. It is clean, but never tidy. Is that even possible with kids??
