How is it that we can spend the whole day cleaning and wake up in the morning to a house that looks like a bomb went off? A lot of days I feel like I run around behind everybody and clean up after them. After a few family councils, things are a little better. Everyone helps out a little more. And also, I have to realize that I have children, and with them comes MESSES! So between getting everyone to pitch in a little more and relaxing my attitude a little, things are more tolerable.Courtney Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286270734851916649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579547.post-47426177715707535912008-09-30T05:55:00.000-06:002008-09-30T05:55:00.000-06:00I try to take the weekends off, but the mess on Mo...I try to take the weekends off, but the mess on Monday is too overwhelming if I do it. I usually just go around the house, picking up the rooms, not even worrying about dusting and vacuuming. I do that on Tuesday.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200806186777614750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579547.post-19268090917822259042008-09-29T15:59:00.000-06:002008-09-29T15:59:00.000-06:00Sometimes I can get myself moving again by focusin...Sometimes I can get myself moving again by focusing on something small that I know I can do fairly quickly. Once I'm moving it's (somewhat) easier to keep going.

I couldn't wait until Monday to get started on it finally! The baby slept from 8am to past noon, too, and right now she's just happily on the floor. I gave Mack and Pinkleberry some soap and water and had them wash walls while I have picked up, vacuumed, washed and mopped. I have about three rooms very nicely done. Enough that I'm starting to feel some peace and calm instead of chaos and stress. And I'm pooped, too.Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409276066439638851noreply@blogger.com
