    motivation

    hi guys and girls!
    im feeling at a loss lately, the kids are just tornadoing everything the house at the moment despite being spotless yesterday looks like a bombs hit it! So how do you find the motivation to keep going and keep your house clean and tidy with young kids around?
    any advice will be very helpful, i hate the house the way it is and it usually triggers my depression looking how it does

    MrsS, the flylady has been really useful for me since hearing about her two weeks ago.

    Motivation wise, sometimes I get depressed too- day after day its always the same! But I figure that even though I'm never going to win the war, its still worth fighting the battles. After all- If I don't, its only going to get into such a hideous state that I will just curl into a foetal ball and rock!

    I just do the bits I can- tidy up, do the dishes, general cleaning once a week, cook food- and try to accept that the rest is just going to have to wait until LO is older and I *may* have a little more time. (LOL, right?) It still gets me depressed when I see how dirty the windows are etc, but I'm trying to accept that and take satisfaction in the little victories- making the kitchen tidy after a tornado day etc.

    I feel your frustration!
