I'm having a big Halloween bash next weekend so cleaning the house is my only plan this weekend. Most of the time I'm ignoring several messes at once, but luckily I have a wonderful hubby that takes care of me!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891134286529101971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347943771906170661.post-57886615846526242262009-10-22T18:45:52.218-06:002009-10-22T18:45:52.218-06:00wow I am ready for a nap now :)wow I am ready for a nap now :)dorneyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784043155903358576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347943771906170661.post-63025210383157031992009-10-22T15:35:01.275-06:002009-10-22T15:35:01.275-06:00you KNOW I'm in the same boat with laundry.

I guess it is my fault in a way, but sometimes it gets done faster if I do it. The laundry is off the charts with the amount of showers they take. For me, the laundry has to give!!

Luckily my husband and children pick up the slack (mostly dishes and laundry).<br /><br />One thing that motivates me to clean the house is have a party.

I'm..."engaging in textual relations"<br /><br />I'm dying. That is hilarious. :) You always make me laugh. <br /><br />Kudos to you for getting your kids involved in cleaning.

And we did not have too many clothes so that the laundry day of said child would not be too much to handle. Each child did a supper one night a week and that included the clean up. We still had RID the house day and such. I love chore charts and organization and I think it helped me get through it.

I hate the way it is now, but it is just too much for me to handle alone. My boys arent quite old enough to handle real chores (they still make more of a mess when they try to help) so it pretty much all falls on me.

Where I live, it's so incredibly dusty that you really need to dust every single day to avoid having visible dust on the tabletops and other horizontal surfaces. If I'm lucky I dust once a week ... I have air cleaners in the bedroom and living room that help, and I just deal with it. If it starts annoying me too badly, I just dust the tops, or better yet, grab aDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249491905813918066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347943771906170661.post-69564819355787653852009-10-22T04:55:59.552-06:002009-10-22T04:55:59.552-06:00Sometimes, my cleaning has to give.
