how do you do it...keeping up that is..

I can't even cook dinner and clean with one!!
What am I going to be like with 2??

Hon, I felt like that when DD was little. I was always entertaining before I fell PG and wondered if I'd ever do that again - oh, and housework!! Things do return to normal, you'll find your groove again soon

Ohh a house cleaner and a dishwasher...them there are stuff fantasies are made of (well my odd ones anyway )

lol thank Taurean.. luckily DH is awesome about it... he cooks dinner some nights now (although I have to tell him 50,000 times how to do it) and cleans up a little bit.. but the house is still a complete mess!! DOES MY HEAD IN!

I hated the mess - and constantly nagging DH to do more, hence the cleaner I honestly did wonder if I'd ever feel normal again, ever be able to cook, clean, get myself and DD ready and live some kind of normal existence but I did. Around the 5 month mark, things felt really normal again and I was back hosting dinner parties for a dozen

My DH was excellent help, still is, but boy did he have to raise the bar to keep me sane Oh, and he still gets a regular boot up the butt!

We are just about to hire a cleaner too. Just fortnightly to do the floors and bathrooms. DH suggested it ages ago but I felt too guilty then but he is about to start working away (4 weeks on, one week off) and I'll have all his regular jobs to do as well so I feel ok about it now!
Daily stuff though, I unstack dishwasher in the mornings, drop DD off at school, clean up breakfast dishes, fold washing while Oprah is on (during DS's nap), Generally tidy all day, I rarely sit down to be honest. I'd like to start cooking dinner during DS's nap too (as he gets so grumpy in the evenings) but that just doesn't happen!
I have a tidy house but don't vacuum/mop/clean bathrooms/de-cobweb nearly as often as I'd like. I do a mad clean if someone is visiting, I hate when people drop in unexpectedly!
I have my lazy days though, where nothing gets done. Today was one of them! Ah well, guess I'll catch up tomorrow!
