Nope! Mine are 13 and 10 and now crazy but lucky me has one on the way! I just am so overwhelmed that I never know where to start. I have a starting place now. Thanks!

For me, I invite people over for dinner about every two weeks. That inspires me to stay on top of my cleaning and keeping it clean. As much as I hate cleaning, I would hate people seeing my “messy” even more. (Just don’t open my closets. I have a few I’m still working on.)

I H-A-T-E cleaning. And that’s not too strong a word. I’d rather do an-y-thing else!

That’s why I imagine I’m doing something else or listen to music- it’s a lot more interesting that way.

I don’t even HAVE kids and my house is a constant mess. I just have so many other things that are more important to do… plus I H-A-T-E cleaning. And that’s not too strong a word. I’d rather do an-y-thing else!

That said, I’ve found that it’s easier to keep things tidy than to clean from the brink of disaster. And, from a laziness standpoint, is actually more efficient.

And I thought it was just me! Thank you so much for this (and the comments above!). I’m getting off my behind now and I’m going to put the laundry away…next it’s off to the bathroom. I WILL begin the playroom but am sure the kids will demolish it before dark. But I WILL do it.
Thank you!

Oh, did I EVER need this right now! This week, I’ve started my list of everything that needs to be done, and this helps guide me in the right direction. Usually, I just walk from room to room going WHERE DO I START!!?? I’m wondering if the mess gets more managable when the kids are all in school all day? ANYONE?? Does it?
